Video: Restrict Staff Check-In to Scheduled Hrs
Yes. This is often referred to as the "Schedule Adherence" or "Restrict to Schedule" feature. See also: Blog Article - Eliminate Overtime
  1. Log on to Procare as a member of the System Supervisor User Group.
  2. From the Procare Home screen go to Configuration > System > Locations & Users > Regions & Schools.
  3. To change this setting for all schools in the region click once on the name of the Region (to be sure it is selected) then click the Set Options button (bottom of screen).
  4. At the Region Options screen click Employee Data (left side) and scroll down to Time Card Options (See Image).
    1. Set Restrict Check In/Out to Schedule to "True".
    2. For the Check in/Checkout Minutes Limit choose the number of minutes grace you will allow them to check in before or after their scheduled hours. For example choosing 10 would let them check in up to 10 minutes before their scheduled start time and 10 minutes after their scheduled end time.
    3. Note: To prevent any overtime you may wish to schedule each person for a bit less than 8 hours, to account for your grace period. Another option would be to schedule them for exactly 8 hours with zero minutes grace (set it to “none”). Then use the option for “rounding” the clock in and out times to allow a person to check in slightly ahead of time, but record their time at the hour. For example, if a person were a few minutes early it could round their time to the closest 15 minute increment, say from 7:53 to exactly 8:00.
