From Wageloch Wiki

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

  • In Wageloch Time Kiosk, click on the name of the employee you want to register.

  • This should complete registration, the employee should no longer have a question mark ? next to their name.
  • To allow staff to clock in/out, Wageloch Time Kiosk must be open.

  • You can now attempt to re-register with the same ID tag, or assign the employee a new ID tag.

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.
There are two options for mobile clocking; enable one employee at a time (1a), or enable for many staff at once (1b).

1a. Mobile Clocking Setup - Individual 1b. Mobile Clocking Setup - Bulk 2. Clocking In/Out, adding Manual Times

  • Click on the staff card for the employee you wish to enable.
  • In the staff card, click the Options category.
  • On the right side, you should see a tick box for Enable Mobile Clocking.
  • Tick this box and click Done.

To push this update out to staff phones immediately:
