How Do I Clock In Using Time Clock Mode?

TimeForge Attendance provides two different and distinct methods for employees to clock in, based on manager preference.

One method, described below, is to use the TimeForge Time Clock Mode, which displays a list of employees (including your name), and you can clock in or out by simply clicking on your name, and entering your password.

This method of clocking in and out is designed for use on shared computer systems.

Locate your name on the list of staff members (sorted alphabetically)

On the list of staff members, click on Clock In (or click on your name).

Enter your password, or use the Fingerprint Scanner

To validate your clock in when using Time Clock Mode, you need to enter your password and/or press your finger on the Fingerprint Scanner.

Choose your Position before Clocking In

In the above screen shot, Bartender is the only option.

Click on Clock In to be clocked in to TimeForge.

Time Clock Mode knows when you clocked in …

How do I clock out from the Today Page?

TimeForge Attendance is a powerful online time clock system, which tracks when you clock in and clock out to allow easy preparation and review of payroll hours by the management team. In addition to basic clock in / out information, TimeForge Attendance can also track declared tips and mileage (for delivery drivers). You can enter notes about each shift, which can be reviewed by your manager at a later date.

Use TimeForge Attendance to clock out at the end of your shift, or for mandatory breaks (such as lunch breaks).

Depending on your specific manager’s rules, clocking out with TimeForge may require manager approval (if you are too early or too late), your clock out time may be rounded, and you may only be able to clock out from specific computer systems.
