Clock In and Clock Out 
You can allow users to clock in and clock out in the following ways:
Require users to clock in when they log in to the system
When you use this option, your employees clock in on the log-on screen. Your employees do not use a card reader or the Labor Tracking clock-in activities to clock in. The system automatically clocks in or clocks out each employee when he or she logs on or logs off of the system.
Require users to clock in before they log on to the system
When you use this option, your employees cannot log on to the system before they clock in.
To clock in, your employees can use the following:
A card reader
A PC running clock in, set up at one or more special stations
Do not require users to clock in
If your plant has a lenient clock-in policy, or if you require only some users to clock in, you can allow users to clock in either before or after they log on to the system. This option does not require users to clock in, so some employees may not clock in at all.
When you use this option, your employees can use the following to clock in:
A PC running clock in, set up at one or more special stations
A button in the Production Operator Dashboard (POD)
Prerequisites
You have set up set up Labor Tracking for clock in or unrequired clock in (see Setting Up Labor Tracking for Clock In at and Before Login and Setting Up Labor Tracking for Unrequired Clock In ).
