Do you have employees that do not get paid based on time? Employees on your payroll that work by job or salary? Do you need to track their progress but not using the Time Clock? Connecteam has a solution for you! The Job Scheduler (when it's not synced with the Time Clock) provides great ways to stay on track with your workforce. Users can check-in and complete shifts with just a click of a button. However, sometimes employees forget! It happens to the best of us. We go into work ready to go, only to realize later that we forgot to check-in. We're enjoying the breeze on the way home when we notice we forgot to tap the "complete" button! Luckily, admins on the platform have a way to keep track and ensure their employees are checking in and completing shifts as they should.

So, let's get started!

Before getting into notifications, let's learn a bit more about the check-in option. The check-in option allows the mobile user (your employee) to report when they start a shift. This option is incredible if your employees do not need to track their hours for payroll purposes (for example, salaried employees). It's important to note that this option can only be used when the Time Clock and the Job Scheduler are NOT synced.

To find the settings, click the “access schedule” button on the desired Job Scheduler. There, you can find the “Options” dropdown on the top-right of the page where you can click on “Settings”. This will directly bring you to the “Mobile App” settings tab where you can find the check-in and complete settings.

Summary

In short, the check-in and complete options are a great way for you as an admin to be in control of your employee's actions. The scheduled notifications are there to help you bring ease and minimize errors when it comes to employee time management. It's that simple!
