With the reimagined clock experience, the touch-based hardware clock (Dayforce Clock Pro) and web browser-based clock (Clock+) feature the same user interface. Using either device type, employees can clock in and out, view their schedule, review their time and pay, and more, all in one place. Similarly, managers and supervisors can use the clocks to override employee clock entries, submit transfers on an employee’s behalf, and more.
Important:
- When this functionality is enabled, the Dayforce Clock Pro and Clock+ have the same reimagined user interface and contain much of the same functionality. However, some functions, options, and screens are available only on one clock or the other. Any functionality that’s unique to either the Dayforce Clock Pro or Clock+ is marked as such in this guide.
- This reimagined user interface is also available for Dayforce Touch Clock devices. Any references to this new interface that involve a physical clock or the Dayforce Clock Pro also apply to Dayforce Touch Clock devices, even if the Dayforce Touch Clock isn’t explicitly mentioned.
By default, the clock shows the login screen. Users must enter their badge number or perform another verification step before they can clock in or review their work details:
Note: Depending on the clock’s configuration, employees might need to swipe a badge, submit a fingerprint for biometric identification, submit a picture for facial verification, or enter their PIN.
After users log in, the clock opens the home screen. From the home screen, users can start and end their shifts, transfer job assignments, record tips, and more in the Clock tab:
On the right side of the screen, the clock shows one button by default. The clock updates dynamically to show the clock function that the user most likely needs. For example, if a user hasn’t clocked in yet for their shift, the clock shows the Start Shift button. To view more options, users can click View all clock functions. The All clock functions dialog box opens, which contains each function that’s available for the user. Depending on the user’s clock entry status, some options are unavailable. For example, a user can’t use the End Meal option if they haven’t clocked out to start their meal:
After a user performs a clock entry, the clock updates their clocking status on the top-right portion of the screen. For example, when a user clicks Start Shift, the clock shows Clocked In with the clock entry details:
Users can also click the Time and pay tab to view a summary of their pay and worked hours:
This guide describes all of these functions and screens in detail. The guide is divided into four main sections, covering how to set up functionality for each clock and how user roles can use the clocks to support their workday:
- Initial Setup: How to install the Dayforce Clock Pro and connect it to the main application, and how to register and set up a new Clock+.
- Configuration for Administrators: How administrators can configure and customize the clocks to cater to unique organizational needs.
- Manager and Supervisor Roles: The functions that manager and supervisor roles can use on the clocks.
- Employee Roles: How to log in and use the functions that employee roles can use on the clocks.
