==Mobile Clocking==
Mobile clocking on the Wageloch Mobile app is disabled by default - staff need to be enabled to gain access to this function.
While this is the same mobile app outlined in [[Using The App (Staff)]] for viewing rosters, requesting leave and submitting availability, Mobile Clocking is a separate tool that is enabled on a case by case basis.<br>
There are two options for mobile clocking; enable one employee at a time (1a), or enable for many staff at once (1b).

To utilize Wageloch's time and attendance software to its full extent, we tend to recommend a clocking method to record your employees' clock in and out times.

This saves you time when it comes to Completing Timesheets as you will visually be able to determine when an employee has started and finished their shift.
