Clocking Permissions

Clocking permission defines how the employee will record time in the system. There are permissions to define which time clock(s), or computer(s) an employee will be allowed to clock in and out from, also the ability of clocking in using an app for smartphones. All of the different type of permissions maybe vary depending on the companies license.
It is important that this procedure is done, as it allows the employee information saved on the software to be synchronized with the time clock(s) automatically. Also, if you wish to restrict from which computers and employee can clock in or out from, this is where you can assign these restrictions. To do this check mark the option of Clock In by PC.
