Manager and Supervisor Roles in TCP

TimeClock Manager provides several tools to allow users to view and approve information as soon as they log in through Dashboard Widgets. Users can create several widgets across unique workspaces, each with their filter. For example, a director that oversees both the Maintenance and Cafeteria departments could create workspaces that let him see hour exceptions and approaching overtime for each department.

The Dashboard will look similar tothe below screenshot. It shows items that may need your attention.

Types of Widgets

The Approaching Overtime widget shows the employees within a certain threshold of hitting overtime, along with how many minutes until they are in overtime.

The Pending Time Off Request widget displays employees who have upcoming time-off requests still requiring approval from the user. The user can approve or deny requests within the widget with a single click.

The Missed Punches widget displays employees who have missed punches still requiring edits.

Attachments and Forms

Clock Instructions

There will be a poster by each new clock instructing employees how to manage their time and time off requests.

Rounding

All hours must be entered to the quarter hour, not the actual time. The only exception will be when entering a missed lunch punch.

How to Transfer Jobs

ALL hourly employees who work more than one job will be required to go to the clock (web or wall) to transfer jobs. To transfer from one job to another, the employee will clock in as usual and select from the list shown on the screen the job they are transferring to, then continue to complete the operation. This will clock the employee out of their current job and move them into the next job.
