Yes. Employees do not have to be scheduled to punch in. This is helpful for positions where staff are commonly called in outside their usual hours. You control it through Roles & Permissions by enabling the Punch In without Schedule permission for a role.
1. Select the Administration icon at the bottom of the left navigation bar, then select Roles & Permissions.
If you do not have either of these options, reach out to a Manager for assistance – they will need to make these updates. Inn-Flow Support cannot change Roles & Permissions for security reasons.
2. Find the Role Permission you want to grant this access to. In this example, we allow the Chief Engineer, since they are commonly called in outside their usual schedule.
3. In the text box, type "without schedule" to filter the permissions.
4. Scroll to the Settings and Timeclock Settings permissions and check the box to the left of Punch In without Schedule to activate the feature.
5. Click Save. Your changes go live immediately.
The next time an employee with this permission opens the time clock, they can find their name using the text box, click their name, select the position they are working, and set their estimated Out Time.
IF PRO TIP: Updating a role permission affects every user assigned that role in their user profile. Click the Users Assigned section to see who will be affected. Granting Punch In without Schedule enables it for all users assigned that role permission.
