An Overview of Time & Attendance Settings

This article goes over Time & Attendance Settings. Time & Attendance is split into two areas. Global settings enable and disable the clock in and out methods across the entire account and Site specific settings covered in the sites tab. 

1. To access the settings, click the Settings tab, then select Time & Attendance. 

You can toggle your preferred method(s) of clocking in and out across your account. These settings are global, meaning you will disable them across the organisation if you disable them here. 

Site Specific Settings

On each site, you can further customise your Time & Attendance.

1. Click on the Sites tab and select a Site.
2. On the Info tab, you can set the Time Zone.
3. Now click on the Time & Attendance tab.
4. You can select your GPS Tolerance, Time Tolerance, Location, Photo Proof and Enable Smartphone from here.

• GPS Tolerance: Adjust the acceptable distance from the site that the staff member's phone needs to be to clock in or out. 
  • NOTE: If your site is quite large, you may need to consider a more considerable tolerance, as the tolerance is a pinpoint location on google maps and uses geofencing.
• Time Tolerance: Adjust the time tolerance for clocking in/out.
• Location: For Smartphones, you need to assign a location so that RosterElf can validate the distance the staff member is from the pinpoint to ensure the staff member is clicking in and out from your site.
• Photo Proof: Select to require photo proof from staff when they clock in/out.
• Enable Smartphone Click In and Out: This will allow employees to use their smartphones to clock in and out.
