Clocking In to a Job or Job Code

How employees select and switch job codes when clocking in and during a shift on web and mobile

When the Job Codes module is enabled, employees can select a job code at clock-in and start jobs throughout their shift. This works the same way on the personal web time clock, the shared time clock (kiosk), and the mobile app.

Selecting a Job Code at Clock-In

If your manager has required a job code at clock-in, you'll see a "What job code are you working on?" dropdown on the clock-in screen before you can complete clocking in. Select the appropriate job code from the list, then click Clock In.

If a job code has been pre-assigned to your shift, it will already be selected in the dropdown — you can confirm it or change it if needed.

If job codes are not required, the dropdown is still available at clock-in but optional — you can skip it and select or start a job later.

📋 On the Shared Time Clock (kiosk), the job code dropdown appears on the same clock-in screen where you enter your PIN or username. Select the job code before tapping Clock In.

Starting a Job After Clocking In

You don't have to select a job code at clock-in — you can start one at any point during your shift:

  • Web time clock — click the clock icon in the top right to reopen the time clock modal. Alongside Take a Break and Clock Out, you'll see a Start Job button. Click it, select a job code, and confirm.

  • Shared time clock — re-enter your PIN or credentials to bring up the modal, then tap Start Job.

  • Mobile app — tap the shift card on your Home screen to open the time clock options, then tap Start Job and choose a code.

Switching Job Codes Mid-Shift

To move from one job code to another, simply start a new job — the current job ends automatically and the new one begins. You can do this as many times as needed during a shift. Each job code tracks time independently, so your timecard will show separate entries for every code you worked.
