Use scheduling to plan shifts and time tracking to record hours worked. These features need to be enabled for your network. The controls you see depend on your role and permissions.

## Plan and publish shifts
If you manage schedules, open **Schedule**, choose the week, and select **Add Shift**. Set the shift times and assign a teammate. Review your draft shifts, then select **Publish** to share the schedule.

If you're checking your own schedule, open **Schedule** to see your published shifts. Draft shifts aren't visible to staff.

## Clock in and out
1. Open **Time Tracking** and check **My time clock**.
2. Check the selected shift. Expand **Shift, location & optional details** to change it. Choose **Unscheduled work** only if your network allows it.
3. Select **Clock in** when you start work. Look for **Punch recorded** and **You're clocked in**.
4. Return to the clock and select **Clock out** when you finish.

Your network may require a scheduled shift, location, photo, or kiosk scan. Follow the prompts before confirming your clock-in or clock-out.

## Review hours
Check your recorded time for missing or incorrect entries. If you forget to clock out, request a correction or ask your manager for help.

Managers with the right permissions can review team entries, approve hours, and export reports. Set the date range and filters before exporting: the report includes the entries currently selected. Payroll costs and overtime totals are estimates based on your network's settings.
