Shiftsheet supports two ways to clock in and out: from your own dashboard while logged in, or from a shared Kiosk device at your workplace. Both create the same kind of time log and feed into your timesheet.
Company Admins don’t see a Clock In control — admin accounts manage the workspace but don’t log their own time.

​
Clocking in from your dashboard

Look for the Clock In button in the top navigation bar (or the clock card on your dashboard).
  1. Click Clock In
  2. A toast confirms you’re clocked in, and the button becomes a live running timer
Clocking in from your dashboard always starts “now” — you can’t back-date it. If you need to log time for earlier in the day, add it manually from the Timesheets page instead.
If clocking in right now would overlap with a time block you’ve already entered manually today, the Clock In button turns amber with a tooltip explaining the conflict — fix or remove the conflicting entry first.

​
Clocking out

Click the running timer to open the Clock Out summary. It shows:
  • When you started and how long you’ve worked
  • Your scheduled hours for today (or “Flexible schedule” if you’re not on a fixed roster)
What happens next depends on how your hours compare to your schedule:
If you allocate more hours than you actually worked, the Clock Out button is disabled until you fix the split. Under-allocating is always fine.
Click Keep Working to cancel and dismiss the summary without clocking out.

​
Forgot to clock out?

If a session is left running for more than 12 hours, Shiftsheet automatically closes it at the 12-hour mark and adds a note to the entry. You’ll see a message the next time you try to clock out (“your session ran past 12 hours and was clocked out automatically”) — the entry is already on your timesheet, so just review and adjust the hours if needed.

​
Using a workplace Kiosk

Some companies set up a shared tablet or browser at the workplace — a Kiosk — for clocking in and out instead of (or alongside) the dashboard. Ask your admin for the kiosk’s URL or check the device at your workplace.
1

Tap to Clock In / Out

On the kiosk’s idle screen, tap the button to start.
2

Enter your PIN

Type your 4-digit Kiosk PIN on the number pad. This is different from your login password.
3

Pick a project (if required)

If your company requires it, choose which project you’re working on. You’ll see your scheduled shift for today alongside the picker.
4

Pick a task (if required)

If the project has tasks assigned to you and your company requires it, select one or more — your hours split equally across whichever tasks you pick.
5

Clock in

A green confirmation shows for a few seconds, then the kiosk returns to idle.
Clocking out at the kiosk shows the same summary and overtime/undertime allocation panel described above.
Open session detected: if you still have a session running from an earlier day, the kiosk will prompt you to close it before starting a new one, rather than silently stacking sessions.

​
Setting your Kiosk PIN

Set (or change) your 4-digit Kiosk PIN from your Profile page — see Your Profile. You’ll need one before you can use any kiosk.
