How do I Take or End a Break?

TimeForge Attendance is a powerful time tracking tool for businesses and staff members alike. Staff members can clock in and out using TimeForge, and can also track scheduled and unscheduled breaks such as those required by law in some states, lunch breaks, meal periods, and others. Taking breaks is easy with TimeForge!

We are one year into it now, well past being enamored with the newness. We are married to TimeForge. It's as essential to us now as any of our management tools today, and we very happy about that.- Steve @ Hermosa Cyclery

The Timeforge scheduling system has not only increased our efficiency tremendously; decreased the errors in what is normally an error prone environment; it has also saved us ten times what it costs us each month.- Michael @ Tiara Cafe
