Employee Clock In and Clock Out Guide

AccuArk makes it easy for employees to track their working hours. This guide walks through the different ways to clock in and out, how to handle breaks, and how to review your timecard.

Clocking In

There are three ways to clock in, depending on how your manager has configured the system:

1. Time Clock form — Navigate to Time Clock from the main menu, then click the Clock In button.
2. Login prompt — If your location has Require Clock In on Login enabled, AccuArk will prompt you to clock in automatically each time you log in.
3. PIN kiosk — If Allow PIN-Based Clocking is enabled, enter your numeric PIN at the shared kiosk terminal to clock in without logging into the full application.

Status Display

Once you are clocked in, AccuArk shows your current status at the top of the Time Clock form. You will see one of two states:

• Clocked in — Displays the time you started and how long you have been working, for example: "Clocked in since 8:00 AM (4h 23m)"
• Not clocked in — Displays when you have no active clock-in session

This status updates in real time so you always know where you stand.

Taking Breaks

To start a break, click the Start Break button on the Time Clock form. AccuArk will ask you to select a break type:

• Break — A standard short break
• Lunch — A meal break
• Other — Any other type of break

When you are ready to resume work, click End Break. Whether each break type is paid or unpaid depends on your location's time clock settings. Your manager can provide details on which breaks are compensated.

Clocking Out

To clock out, open Time Clock and click the Clock Out button. If Prompt Clock Out on Logout is enabled, AccuArk will also remind you to clock out when you log out of the application.

Viewing Your Timecard

Your timecard is accessible from the Time Clock form. It shows a detailed table of your recorded hours:

The timecard is view only for employees. If you notice an error in your hours, contact your manager to request a correction. Only users with administrative permissions can edit timecard entries.
