Time Clock, Timesheets and the Shop Wall Clock
Clock in and out on Route, crew clock-in, lunch, fixing time, approving weeks, the payroll CSV and the shop tablet.
The Time Clock keeps paid hours (clock in to clock out, minus unpaid lunch), separate from Service time. It is off until an admin turns it on in Settings > Modules > Time Clock. Every rule is a setting under Time Clock > Settings.
On Route
- Tap Clock In on the bar under the days. The bar turns dark and counts your hours.
- Team leads get a short list: everyone on the crew is checked. Tap Clock In 2 People and each person gets their own punch.
- Tap Lunch when you stop and End Lunch when you start again. Lunch comes out of paid hours unless Lunch Is Paid is on.
- Tap Clock Out at the end of the day. A lead can clock the crew out the same way.
If you tap Drive or Start before clocking in, Route asks "Clock in now?" (Clock In Before Services = Remind). It never clocks you in by itself. At the shop in the morning it can ask too (Ask At The Shop).
Fixing time
- Open Time Clock (or My Hours) and click the day.
- Click Edit Times, change Clock In, Clock Out or Lunch, and type why. Add Time adds a shift you forgot to punch.
- The original time, who changed it and why stay in Edit History and the Change Log. Nothing is ever deleted.
People can fix their own time on the same day (People Can Fix Their Own Time). Changing someone else's time, approving, unlocking and exporting are Admin until you turn them on for a role in Employees & Roles.
Approving and payroll
- On Time Clock, pick the pay week. Missed clock-outs are red; fix those first.
- Check the people to approve and click Approve Selected. Approved days lock.
- Click Export CSV for one row per shift plus a total row per person with regular and overtime hours. Open it in your payroll app or a spreadsheet.
Shop Wall Clock (tablet)
- In Time Clock > Settings, turn on Wall Clock and click Save.
- Under Wall Clock Tablets, type a name and click Pair A Tablet. A 6-digit code shows; it works once (10 minutes by default).
- On the tablet, open your company's address followed by /wallclock.php and type the code. That tablet stays paired. It only shows the Wall Clock and can't open anything else. Optional: Share, then Add to Home Screen, so it opens like an app.
- Each person sets a PIN in Time Clock > My Hours (or an admin sets it on Edit Employee). At the tablet: tap your name, type your PIN, tap Clock In, Lunch or Clock Out.
Lost tablet? Click Turn Off next to it. Wrong PINs lock that person for a few minutes (5 tries and 5 minutes by default). For a true kiosk, use the tablet's single-app mode (Guided Access on iPad, Screen Pinning on Android) and don't sign in to Turf Care in that browser.
