Setting Up Employee Time Clock

Overview: What are we talking about?

In Gingr, your staff can clock in and out. Time punches using the time clock are authenticated by having the employee enter their password and (optionally) taking a photo of them the moment they check in. Time clock data can also be accessed from the time clock report where you can review timecards and easily see if someone worked longer than their scheduled shift.

While the Time Clock feature is available at no additional cost, if you use Gingr's Employee Scheduling feature to manage your employee schedules, users can clock into a specific team when punching in. Click here to learn more about employee scheduling with Gingr.
