Are any employees getting paid by job or salary rather than by the hour? Would you like to track their progress without using the Time Clock? We have a solution for you!

The Check-in and Complete statuses, along with notifications, can help monitor employee activity and job completion without requiring them to adhere to specific shifts or work hours. Let's explore this further! 

Before setting up these notifications, it's important to understand what the Check-in and Complete statuses are, when it's best to utilize them, how to activate them, and how they work.

We recommend using the Check-in and Complete options when you're not tracking time for some or all of your employees—meaning you're not using the Time Clock feature. These options are ideal for holding employees accountable by knowing when they start and finish their jobs. Additionally, they streamline communication, enabling employees to update supervisors on their progress without constant follow-ups. It provides flexibility for roles where documenting job start and completion times is important, even without strict time tracking.

💡Tip: You can even filter for these statuses in the List View, for example, and export a file detailing the statuses for your employee's shifts. 

Only users who don't clock into scheduled shifts can use the "Check-in" and "Complete" options. If the Users clock into scheduled shifts, illustrated below, setting in the Time Clock's Cock In & Out Settings is activated, users assigned to that clock won't be able to see or use these options.

For example, let's consider Bryan. He is assigned to both a job schedule and a time clock. Although the scheduler he's assigned to has the Check-in and Complete statuses activated, the time clock also has the Users clock into scheduled shifts setting enabled. As a result, Bryan will not have access to the statuses when he accesses his Job Schedule and looks at his shift. 

For Bryan to access the check-in and complete statutes, the User's clock into scheduled shifts option must be deactivated, as illustrated below, or he must be unassigned from the time clock.

Remember that deactivating this setting will affect all users in that clock, not just Bryan. If either of these solutions is used, Bryan will have access to the statuses when accessing his shift through the Job Schedule.

To activate the Check-in and Complete statuses:

Once they are activated and the relevant users begin to use them to report their work progression, you can see it directly in the scheduler. It will be referenced by a blue (check-in) and green (completed) dot.

It will also be shown within the shift. You can access the shift and look at its activity.  

Now, here is the information you've been waiting for how to set up scheduled notifications! This is a game-changer when tracking your workforce and maintaining the status quo.
