How To Clock In, Clock Out, And Track Mileage As Staff

In some cases, a company will require staff to clock in and clock out of shifts and record their mileage directly through Time To Pet. In this article, we will share how staff can access the hourly time tracking and mileage tracking tools within Time To Pet. These features are available through the Time To Pet Mobile App and web portal.

Staff members can clock in, clock out, and track mileage on the Staff App. When logged into the Staff App - there is a "Time / Mileage" button found on the bottom menu bar. Clicking this will load the Time and Mileage section.
