Time Clock
Utilizing the time clock will allow you to track your employee’s work time and help ensure that you are paying them for the actual time they’ve worked.
Only 3 things to know to get started:
1. Jobs:
The first thing you will want to do is set up your Jobs. “Jobs” in Connecteam are an information layer that you track time for. From our experience, cleaning companies typically define their jobs as a client name or location. By doing so, you will be able to track the number of hours spent at each client or facility and bill them accordingly.

By utilizing the schedule, you can make sure that your employees always have the most relevant information, straight in their phones. Whether you’re directly assigning shifts to your employees or creating open shifts that they can claim, Connecteam will certainly improve your scheduling, minimize back and forth communication and save you time!
Only 2 things to know to get started:
1. How to create a shift?
When creating a shift, you can put 2 different information layers:
Shift job: These will be the list of clients or locations that you created within the Time Clock and will be the jobs your employees clock in and out of.
Shift title: This is an additional information layer that can be added to the shift that will help you categorize your shifts. An example could be if it is a morning or an evening shift.
After a shift has been created and published the relevant employees will be notified and will be able to access and view all details in advance. Any changes or edits that are applied on a shift will notify all relevant parties of it in real-time.
2. Employee Availability
Easily understand which of your employees are able to work or not, at any given time. Through the mobile application, your employees can let you know if they are unable to work and include a note explaining why. The action will have a visual indication on your schedule, giving you an easy way of understanding who can be scheduled.
