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 you have one assigned)

If you have an active project assignment, you’ll see the project picker with your scheduled shift for today alongside it. Whether a Skip button appears depends on your company’s “Require project selection” setting — if it’s off you can skip picking one; if it’s on, you must choose.
4

Pick a task (if the project has any assigned to you)

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 a Clock Out Summary screen — similar in spirit to the dashboard summary above (same started-at/worked/scheduled info), but the overtime/undertime allocation controls are different: instead of a per-row stepper and Fill button, the kiosk gives you quick-fill chips (All Flexi, All TIL, All Paid OT), a Split Evenly option, and, on a rostered day off, a one-tap Claim Full RDO (+1 day) shortcut. Undertime works the same way, with a Use 1 RDO Day shortcut if you have a balance.
Open session detected: if a session from an earlier day is still open when you try to clock in (and it’s been under 12 hours, so it hasn’t auto-closed yet), the kiosk shows a dedicated screen with that session’s date and time and a Close & Clock In button — it won’t silently stack sessions or let you start a new one without addressing the old one first.
Clock-In Unavailable: if the time you’d be clocking in at actually overlaps a time block you (or someone on your behalf) already entered manually, the kiosk blocks the clock-in outright with an explanation, rather than letting you proceed with a warning like the dashboard does. Fix or remove the conflicting entry first, then try again.
See Kiosk devices for the full detail on how a kiosk is set up and secured.

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.
