Check-in and check-out¶

Check-in and check-out let employees record when their shifts start and end, so actual working time is captured accurately.

Overview¶

• Simple check-in — One click to start your shift
• Simple check-out — One click to end your shift
• Automatic times — Times are stored automatically
• Visible in the calendar — Check-in/out appear on the shift
• Re-check-in — You can check in again after checking out if you made a mistake

Check-in¶

Steps¶

1. Open shift scheduling — From the menu
2. Find the button — Top of the calendar
3. Check in — Click Check in
4. Confirmation — Success message

When the button appears:

• Only if you have a shift today
• If you have multiple shifts, the one you are currently checked into, or the one in progress, is used — otherwise the one whose start is closest to now
• The button shows a “log in” style icon

After check-in¶

• Check-in time is saved
• The button switches to Check out
• The icon changes to “log out”
• Your check-in time appears on the shift as → HH:MM (local time zone)

Check-out¶

Steps¶

1. Check out — Button at the top of the calendar (after check-in)
2. Click — Check out
3. Confirmation — Success message

When it appears:

• Only after you have checked in

After check-out¶

• Check-out time is saved
• The button returns to Check in
• Your shift shows both → and ← times

Check in again¶

After check-out you can check in again. You may see a confirmation: you are already checked out for the current shift — confirm if you really want to check in again.

Warning: Your current check-in time will be overwritten.

Use case: You checked out by mistake.

Multiple shifts on the same day¶

The system picks the shift for the check-in button using these priorities:

1. A shift you are already checked into (checked in, not yet checked out)
2. A shift that is currently in progress (now is between start and end)
3. The shift whose start time is nearest to the current time

Example: Shifts 08:00–12:00 and 12:00–16:00 — at 11:30 the 08:00 shift is used because it is still in progress.

Display in the calendar¶

Example:

Your name
→ 08:15
← 17:30

Permissions¶

Employee: Check in/out only to their own shifts.

Manager / Administrator: Same for their own shifts if assigned; they cannot check in/out for other people from here.

FAQ¶

Must I check in before check-out?¶

Yes.

What if I forget to check out?¶

The shift stays without an end time; managers can see this in reports. You can check in normally the next day.

Are times saved automatically?¶

Yes, when you click the button.

Can I edit check-in/out times later?¶

Not currently.

What if I have no shift today?¶

The check-in button does not appear.

Time zone?¶

Times are shown in your local time zone.

Tips¶

• Check in at the start and check out at the end of each shift
• Refresh the page if the button does not appear
• Contact your manager if something looks wrong

Error messages¶

• “You must check in first” — Check in before checking out.
• “Shift not found” — Shift missing or no permission; contact your manager.
• Check-in / check-out failed — Retry or contact support.
