Time Clock Settings | Jolt Web Portal

Overview:

This guide will walk you through how to view and edit Time Clock settings on the Jolt Web Portal. Adjusting these settings helps manage employee clock-in and clock-out times, ensuring accurate time tracking and payroll.

Prerequisites:

To view and edit Time Clock settings, you must have one of the following admin roles: Location Website Admin, Content Group Admin, or Company Admin.

Accessing Time Clock Settings:

    • Select the desired Location Name from the list.

  2. Locate Time Clock Settings:

    • Scroll down to the Time Clock Settings section.

Configuring Time Clock Settings:

  1. Allow Manual Punches:

    • Description: Allows employees to manually enter clock punches on their device.

    • Purpose: Useful if employees forget to clock in or out. These manual entries will be flagged and can be reviewed and approved from the Web Portal.

  3. Align Punches to Schedule:

    • Description: Flags punches that occur before or after the scheduled shift times.

    • Options:

      • Punch Window (in minutes): Creates a time window before and after the scheduled shift start and end times where punches will be flagged.

  4. Pay Period Settings:
