Yes — you can prevent employees from forgetting to clock out.
Connecteam includes customizable tools that help employees clock out on time. These tools are highly recommended because they help you manage your workforce more efficiently, reduce manual timesheet edits, and prevent time theft.
Below are three options you can enable in the Time Clock.
1) Set Up Clock-Out Reminders
Reminders are push notifications sent to employees, prompting them to clock out at a specific time. You can also choose which days the reminder should be sent.
How to set up reminders
Open your Time Clock.
Go to Settings.
Click the Reminders tab.
Select the relevant days for reminders.
Blue days = reminders are enabled.
Set the time under Remind employees to clock out at:.
✅ Available from the Operations Basic plan and above
2) Enable Auto Clock-Out by Daily Limit
This option automatically clocks employees out after they’ve been clocked in for a set number of hours.
You can align this with your Daily limit setting (the setting above Auto clock-out in the General tab), which notifies you when the daily hours limit is exceeded.
Or, you can set Auto clock-out as its own stand-alone limit, regardless of the Daily limit.
How to set up auto clock-out by daily limit
Open your Time Clock.
Go to Settings.
Click the General tab.
Set Auto clock-out to the number of hours after which users will be clocked out automatically.
✅ Available from the Operations Advanced plan and above
3) Enable Auto Clock-Out by Shift Limitations
This option clocks employees out automatically based on their scheduled shift.
In the Limitations tab, you can choose to:
Auto clock out at the end of a scheduled shift (from the Job Scheduler), or
Auto clock out X minutes after the shift ends.
How to set up auto clock-out by limitations
Open your Time Clock.
Go to Settings.
Click the Limitations tab.
Enable Auto clock-out at the end of a shift.
Choose the option you want (end of shift or a set number of minutes after it ends).
Optional: Set custom daily boundaries by day
If you want different clock-in/clock-out boundaries per day, use Custom limit by days in the Limitations tab. This automatically clocks users out when they reach the daily limit for that specific day, based on your settings.
✅ Available from the Operations Expert plan and above
