Time Tracking

Record working time. Keep a clear overview.

Record clock-ins, breaks and clock-outs directly in TIDEFORCE. Your team can see their own hours; the office reviews open entries, decides corrections and exports the records.

The working day often starts before the first lesson and ends after the last equipment return. Time Tracking records actual working hours and breaks, on a personal phone or a shared terminal at the station. The module is configured and activated for your school.

The working day on your phone.

Clock in, take a break and clock out

Clock-in, regular breaks, short breaks and clock-out are all within reach. The mobile view shows whether you are working or on a break. One tap ends the break when you are ready to continue. Your team can use personal devices when you enable that channel.

Keep track of your own hours

Employees see working time, breaks and attendance by day, week or month. Ongoing shifts are marked as provisional, making completed and running hours easy to distinguish throughout the day.

One iPad. A personal code.

A shared check-in point at reception

An approved iPad or tablet becomes the clock-in terminal at your station. Employees enter their personal employee code, then choose an action: clock in, record a break or clock out. They do not need their own phone to use it.

Ready for the next team member

The personal context is cleared after each punch, and inactivity also returns the terminal to code entry. A code permits time punches without giving access to employee accounts or other people’s hours. The office pairs and manages approved devices.

Your team and their hours in view.

See current status on the live board

The live board brings together the team’s working status, break warnings, location checks and pending corrections. The office can see who is working and which records still need attention.

Review hours for each employee

Open the employee overview for work blocks, breaks and weekly totals. Completed and provisional working time stay separate. You can also manage personal punch codes and set target hours here.

Make corrections traceable

Forgotten a clock-in or clock-out? Employees can request a correction and explain why. The office reviews the request and approves it or rejects it with a reason. The original entry and the change remain traceable.

Hand over hours in Excel

Export the selected period with a summary, work blocks, breaks and corrections. The file carries over the totals from TIDEFORCE for further payroll preparation.

Set up for the way your school works.

Set punch channels and work locations

Manage shared terminals, personal devices and work locations. You decide which punch channels the team can use. Optional location checks apply to individual punches and do not continuously track movement.

Connect planning and working time

The calendar shows planned presence. Time Tracking records when work actually happened. Instructor reports and performance-based pay remain in Team & Payroll.

Frequently asked questions

01

How does clock-in on the shared iPad work?

+

The office pairs and approves the tablet. Employees enter their personal code and choose a time punch action. The view resets after the action. The terminal needs an internet connection.

Does every team member need a smartphone?

+

No. The shared tablet terminal is sufficient. Clocking in on personal phones or laptops can also be enabled.

03

Can the team correct their own hours?

+

Employees can request a correction with a reason. The office decides on it; the original record and the change remain traceable.

04

Does Time Tracking replace instructor reports?

Time tracking and performance-based instructor reports serve different purposes. Working time, breaks and lesson activity are recorded separately.
