Overview

You'll need to invite employees to get the most out of your OnTheClock account. If you're using your account for personal time tracking, you must add yourself as an employee to use the time clock features. Here's how to get started.

Setup

  1. Step 1: Log in as an administrator.
  2. Step 2: Navigate to "Employees," then "View Full Employee List."
  3. Step 3: Click "Add Employees," then "Add One."
  4. Step 4: Fill out the information under "General Settings."
  5. Step 5: Check the "Send Email Invite" or "Send Text Invite" boxes.
  6. Step 6: Click "Save Settings."

Add Multiple Employees

You can invite up to 20 employees at once with this option. Here's how to use it:

  1. Step 1: Log in as an administrator via browser.
  2. Step 2: Navigate to "Employees," then "View Full Employee List."
  3. Step 3: Click "Add Employees," then "Add Multiple."
  4. Step 4: Enter the required information for each employee.
  5. Step 5: Optionally, enter the employee's mobile number and ID number.
  6. Step 6: Click "Save List" to send invites.

Note that, by default, text and email invites are toggled on for all employees. You may toggle these options off if desired.
