How to Adjust Time Clock Settings

Homebase offers several time clock options to help businesses accurately track time across one or many locations, stores, and job sites.

Note: All time clocks are available in English or Spanish.

General Settings

To adjust your Time Tracking settings:

1. Click Settings on the bottom left side of your screen.
2. Click Time Clock Options under Time Tracking.
   1. 

Here, you can adjust some General Time Clock settings for each Time Clock used to track your team's time.

This provides your team the opportunity to rate the shifts they work (0-5 stars) and provide specific feedback if they would like to on how things went. This feedback can be reviewed by a Manager or General Manager (with the required Team Permissions) in Reports.

This allows your team members to enter in their Cash Tips manually when they clock out. The tips entered will be then associated with their Time Cards in Timesheets and can be edited by a Manager or General Manager if needed.

Round clock in and clock out times to the nearest (X) increment will round all clock ins and clock outs up or down to the nearest increment determined in the drop down. It is ideal for businesses who have a large number of team members clocking into a shift at once.

Rounding Rules

Increment Option	Rounding Rules
5 Minute Increment	1-2 mins rounds down 3-4 mins rounds up Example: 2:02pm would round to 2:00pm & 2:03pm would round to 2:05pm.
15 Minute Increment	1-7 rounds down 8-14 rounds up Example: 2:07pm would round to 2:00pm & 2:08pm would round to 2:15pm.

Time Clock Specific Options

Mobile Time Clock

You can also Allow unscheduled shift clock-in from the mobile app allowing team members to track their time even without a Shift published.

Note: The Mobile Time Clock is the only Time Clock Option that can be specifically disable by deselecting the purple check mark next to it's name.

Finally, you can also set up a Geofence that will restrict where a team member can clock in using the Homebase mobile app.

Note: The ability to setup a Geofence is available on the Essentials plan or higher. Only one geofence per location can be set up at a time and it is only available for teams who use the Homebase mobile app to track time.

Tablet Time Clock

The Tablet Time Clock uses a dedicated Tablet App called Time Clock by Homebase and is available on both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

Note: The Tablet Time Clock is available for most iOS (iPad) and Android tablets. It is not available for Amazon Fire tablets.

It is possible to allow team members to choose a specific role when they clock into an unscheduled shit on the Tablet Time Clock. Roles must be assigned to individual employees in their Team Profile.

Web Time Clock

The web time clock allows any computer browser to be turned into a time clock. By enabling the Allow employees to launch the web time clock from their own computer, your team members will be able to track time from their browser when they sign into Homebase.

It also offers the ability to open a shared web time clock to be used on a shared computer where multiple team members can track their time.

Disable Time Tracking

If Time Tracking doesn't apply to your team, you can disable it entirely by clicking the Disable Time Tracking button. 

Note: Doing so will hide the Timesheets section of your left navigation bar until Enable Time Tracking is clicked to turn it back on.
