Attendance & time clock

Employee attendance, time clock, and timesheet context

The schedule shows the work that was planned; attendance records what happened. Employees can clock in, pause, resume, and clock out in Employee Hub, while managers can review recorded time alongside the schedule and related timesheets.

In short

Yes. Employees can clock in, pause, resume, and clock out in Employee Hub. ElShift records attendance separately from the published shift. Supported events can be saved while offline and synchronized when the connection returns.

Clock in, pause, resume, and clock out

Employees start an attendance session in Employee Hub, pause it when work stops, resume when work begins again, and clock out at the end. The attendance history records the session and its paused time.

Keep planned shifts and recorded time distinct

A published shift remains the plan even when an employee clocks in early or late. Attendance records the actual session separately, so managers can compare planned and recorded time and review related timesheet values where available.

Offline attendance events can synchronize later

If an employee temporarily loses connectivity, supported attendance events can be queued on the device and sent when the connection returns. Any sync conflict is shown for review.

ElShift supports attendance records, timesheet review, and exports. It does not process payroll.
