Time Tracking

Track working hours. See the full picture.

Record clock-ins, breaks and clock-outs in TIDEFORCE. Team members can see their own hours, while office staff review incomplete entries, approve corrections and export records.

At a glance

  • Clock in on your phone or a shared iPad
  • See working hours, breaks and personal totals
  • Review, correct and export to Excel

The working day often starts before the first lesson and ends after the last equipment return. Time Tracking records actual working hours and breaks, on a personal phone or a shared terminal at the station. The module is configured and activated for your school.

The working day on your phone.

Clock in, take a break and clock out

Clock-in, regular breaks, short breaks and clock-out are all within reach. The mobile view shows whether you are working or on a break. One tap ends the break when you are ready to continue. Your team can use personal devices when you enable that channel.

Keep track of your own hours

Employees see their working hours, breaks and attendance by day, week or month. Hours from ongoing shifts are marked as provisional, so they are easy to distinguish from completed shifts.

One iPad. A personal code.

A shared check-in point at reception

An approved iPad or tablet becomes the clock-in terminal at your station. Employees enter their personal employee code, then choose an action: clock in, record a break or clock out. They do not need their own phone to use it.

Ready for the next team member

The screen resets after each clock-in, break or clock-out, and returns to code entry when idle. An employee’s code only allows time tracking; it does not give access to accounts or other people’s hours. Office staff pair and manage approved devices.

See who’s working and review their hours.

See current status on the live board

The live board brings together the team’s working status, break warnings, location checks and pending corrections. The office can see who is working and which records still need attention.

Review hours for each employee

Open the employee overview for work blocks, breaks and weekly totals. Completed and provisional working time stay separate. You can also manage personal punch codes and set target hours here.

Make corrections traceable

Forgotten a clock-in or clock-out? Employees can request a correction and explain why. The office reviews the request and approves it or rejects it with a reason. The original entry and the change remain traceable.

Export hours to Excel

Export a summary, work periods, breaks and corrections for the selected dates. The file includes the totals recorded in TIDEFORCE for payroll preparation.

Set up for the way your school works.

Choose clock-in methods and work locations

Manage shared terminals, personal devices and work locations. You decide how your team can clock in and out. Optional location checks apply to individual time entries and do not track movement continuously.

Connect planning and working time

The calendar shows when staff are scheduled to work. Time Tracking records their actual working hours. Instructor reports and performance-based pay remain in Team & Payroll.

Frequently asked questions

01

How does clock-in on the shared iPad work?

+

Office staff pair and approve the tablet. Employees enter their personal code, then clock in, record a break or clock out. The screen resets afterwards. The terminal needs an internet connection.

02

Does every team member need a smartphone?

+

No. The shared tablet terminal is sufficient. Clocking in on personal phones or laptops can also be enabled.

03

Can the team correct their own hours?

+

Employees can request a correction with a reason. The office decides on it; the original record and the change remain traceable.

04

Does Time Tracking replace instructor reports?

+

Time tracking and performance-based instructor reports serve different purposes. Working time, breaks and lesson activity are recorded separately.

05

Is time tracking switched on automatically?

+

The module is activated in your school settings. Before you start, you choose the allowed clock-in methods, work locations and who is responsible for reviewing entries.
