How do I add notes for a shift?

For example, you may want to add a note to a shift that says: “The supplier should arrive during your shift. Please be sure to give him the piece of paper on the desk” or “Gross sales need to be at 20,000 by the end of your shift. Push!”

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.
