Clock in and out (W-2 staff)

Tips

  • The Time Clock tab only appears for agencies where you are a W-2 employee. If you are a contractor on bought time, Staff HQ is called "Bought Time HQ" and shows your schedules only.
  • You cannot switch agencies while you are clocked in.
  • If you are already clocked in, clicking Clock In again just returns your active session, you will not be double-clocked.
  • Your scheduled shifts are listed alongside your punches, with paid-lunch net hours shown.
  • Office staff who are set up as W-2 employees get the same Staff HQ, with Time Clock, Staff Schedules, and Leave / Time Off. It is reached from "Staff HQ" in the agency sidebar.
  • If you have two pay rates, one for office work and one for interpreting, you do not choose between them when you punch. Your agency's dispatch record decides which hours were interpreting.
