One of the new features in FloristWare Version 2.0 is an employee timeclock that automatically keeps track of the hours that your employees work and, if you like, the wages that they earn.
To take advantage of this feature you will first have to enter FloristWare at the manager level and visit your settings. Once there you need to select "Features - Employee Punchclock" and turn it on. FloristWare will be running the timeclock from then on.
Some users have called us because they are not sure about the next step - they don't understand how they get users to punch in and out. The answer is simple - they don't have to do anything! It is all automatic. All the employees have to do is sign in when they arrive in the morning and sign out when they leave at night.
Here is some more detail. When an employee arrives they first thing they should do is "punch in". This just means that they have to go to a computer running FloristWare and sign in. If another user is signed on the new user would simply click the blue User button at the top right hand corner of the screen. FloristWare then starts their "shift".
Punching out involves the same process. The user simply needs to walk over to a station and, if they are already signed in, click the blue User button to sign out. If they are not currently signed in they would have to first sign in and sign out.
Some users have asked what happens if a user gets signed out by another user five minutes after they arrive - does this end their shift? The answer is no. FloristWare starts the shift when the user first signs in and ends it the last time they sign out.
