How to clock in & Out using the Personal Web Time clock with Homebase

Hello and welcome back to another Top Biz Guides tutorial. In this video, I’ll demonstrate how to set up a web time clock for your employees to conveniently clock in and out using a computer connected to the internet. While there are multiple options available, we’ll focus on the web time clock in this tutorial.

Let’s get started:

1. Navigate to the “Settings” section from the menu.
2. Click on “Time Clock Options.”
3. Under general settings, there are options like the mobile time clock and tablet time clock, which allow clocking in via the Home Base mobile app or a tablet device. However, we’re focusing on the web time clock in this video.
4. Check the “Use any computer browser as your time clock” option. This is ideal for various scenarios, including offices, remote teams, and service businesses.
5. Save your changes to enable the web time clock feature.

Now that the web time clock is enabled, you can set up clocking in and out using a computer connected to the internet. Here’s how:

1. Click on the time clock icon at the top of the page.
2. Choose between two options:
   • “Launch Shared”: Use this if you want to clock in on a shared time clock for a computer shared among employees. This will require a PIN.
   • “Launch Personal”: Use this for your personal clocking in and out. No PIN is required in this case.

Let’s focus on the “Launch Personal” option for now:

1. Click on “Launch Personal.”
2. If you’re an admin, you’ll see a message to “Clock in to start your shift.” Click on it to begin your shift.

Clocking In:

• Once you’ve clicked, you’ll be clocked in and your shift will start.

Taking a Break:

• To take a break, click on “Launch Personal” again.
• You can choose to take a break or clock out. Click “Start Break.”
• The system will indicate when you’re due back from your break.

Resuming Your Shift:

• Click “Launch Personal” again.
• Your break will end, and your shift will resume.

Clocking Out:

• When you’re ready to clock out, click “Launch Personal.”
• Choose “Clock Out” and confirm it.
• You’ve now successfully clocked out of your shift.

Remember, this tutorial covers clocking in and out using the personal time clock option. In a separate video, I’ll demonstrate how to use the shared time clock. Make sure to watch that as well.

I hope this video has been informative and helpful. Thank you for watching, and stay tuned for more tutorials in the future!
