Time Tracking allows your team to clock in and clock out of Shifts. It also includes reporting to help you quickly see data for time worked. Lastly, this data is easy to download if you need to enter it into a payroll processor.

Time Tracking is designed for facilities that pay their team members hourly. Your staff can track their time in Facility in their Staff Dashboard. You can then enter your information into your payroll processor to simplify paying your hourly employees. As a reminder - Time To Pet is not a payroll processor, and we do not collect employment taxes or process payments directly to your team.

FAQs

Q: Can the Admin or Schedulers clock in or out for a staff member?

Only the staff member can clock in or out of their account using the Dashboard or Console.


Q: Can I edit clock-in/clock-out data after submitting it?

An Admin or Scheduler can edit or delete clock-in/clock-out data after submitting it. This can be done in the reporting section or directly on a staff member's profile.


Q: Can I add an hourly pay rate?

Because the Facility is not a payroll processor, there is no way to set hourly pay rates for staff members in Time To Pet software. However, it is possible to generate a Shift Report and use the generated reports with a payroll processor outside of Time To Pet.


Q: Can I enable this on a staff-by-staff basis?

Yes! Once enabled, you can toggle this on or off by navigating to the Time Tracking tab in the staff member's profile.
