Clocking in and out - Pacten Guides
Attendance lives under People → Attendance. If your workspace has turned it on, you clock yourself in at the start of work and out at the end — from your phone or a computer.
1
Open Attendance and pick your site
Choose the place you are working from if your workspace lists sites — or leave “No specific site”. Retired sites are not offered.
2
Tap Clock in
If your device asks to allow your location, tap Allow. That is a one-time yes per device: it verifies you are at the site at this exact moment, and the app never checks in between.
3
Work — the timer runs
The page shows how long you have been on shift, and a line that says whether your clock-in was verified on site.
4
Tap Clock out when you finish
Your session closes with the in and out times. Today’s sessions are listed right under the clock.
Location on or off
A card at the top of Attendance shows whether location is on for this device, with a one-tap Turn on location button — and, if it was blocked before, the exact steps to unblock it. The same card lives in Account Settings → Time & Leave. The state is per device: turning it on at your laptop does not turn it on for your phone.
No signal, no problem
A clock-in made while offline is kept on your device and synced when you are back online, stamped with the time you actually tapped — a 06:58 clock-in stays a 06:58 clock-in.
- You can only be clocked in once — a second clock-in is refused until you clock out.
- Clocking in without allowing location still works where the policy is advisory: your shift starts, and the session simply shows “no location” to HR.
- If clock-in says your login is not linked to a person record, ask HR to link you from the Directory — that link is what connects your taps to your record.
