Clocking In/Out & Manual Meal Breaks For Another Employee/Crew With ExakTime Mobile

"Clock For" allows an employee, such as a supervisor or team lead, to clock in/out for other employees.

When clocking in/out, please be aware that "Clock For" will not have any of the requirements/restrictions that the "Clock In" functionality may require, such as:

  • No FaceFront photos
  • No GeoFence Warnings/Restrictions 
  • No GPS/Location Services Requirements

Starting from ExakTime Mobile version 2.89, you will be able to start and end your employee's manual meal break.

Permission to use "Clock For" in ExakTime Mobile must be given by the ExakTime administrator and is reserved for higher-level users, such as administrators or supervisors. If you are unable to see "Clock For" and believe that you should have it, please consult your Exaktime administrator for assistance.

The "Clock For" function does not block or prevent an employee from clocking in/out for themselves if they have access to ExakTime Mobile. 

Using Clock For

  1. Tap Clock For from the top menu bar. If you do not see it, press the ◀ or ▶ buttons until it is listed.

  7. If you need to change an employee's location and/or cost code, you simply clock them in again. You do not need to clock out the employee to change their location or cost code. Employees can also clock in on their own devices as well.
  8. You can clock out employees and/or crews by selecting them and pressing Stop. You can also press X employees clocked in to view a list of employees currently clocked in to the device, where you can select the employees and press Clock Out.
