How to clock Pros in and out
Updated over a month ago

To ensure convenient and accurate timekeeping, there are a few ways Pros can be clocked in and out of a shift:

4 digit codes

To ensure accurate timekeeping, we have a code system to log clock-in/clock-out times. Here’s how it works:

  1. Pro retrieves the 4-digit code from onsite manager.

  2. Pro enters the appropriate code at
    the start and finish of the shift.

  3. Time will be automatically loaded onto the dashboard and invoice.
