Clock-in & Clock-out
The Clockings page in the WordPress dashboard gives you a full view of all clock events. It is primarily for review and audit purposes — day-to-day clocking is done through the iOS app.
Viewing clockings
Go to MBS Attendance → Clockings. The page shows all clock events for the selected date, including the employee name, department, clock type, time and the method used (face, QR, NFC, PIN or manual).
Each clock event is one of four types:
- Clock In — employee arrived at work
- Lunch Out — employee left for lunch
- Lunch In — employee returned from lunch
- Clock Out — employee left for the day
Filtering
Use the date picker and department dropdown at the top of the page to filter the view. The date defaults to today. Select a department to see only that department's events.
Manual entries
Manual clock entries can be added through the iOS app by supervisors. In the app, select a date using the date picker (which defaults to today) and clock employees in or out. Any date in the past can be used — useful for correcting a missed clock-in or clocking in staff for a previous day.
When you select a past date in the iOS app clock-in screen, a orange "Backdating" badge appears as a reminder. All clock events created for past dates are stored with the exact date and time you entered.
Missed clock-outs
If an employee clocked in on a previous day but never clocked out, the system detects this automatically when they next attempt to clock in. It generates a clock-out record at the department's shift end time on the day of the missed clock-out, then allows the new clock-in to proceed. No manual intervention is needed.
Auto-generated clock-outs use the department's default shift end time (or the employee's override if set). If an employee regularly works overtime, the auto clock-out time may be earlier than their actual departure. Review and correct these in the iOS app if accuracy matters for payroll.
