01 Configuring Timeclocks

Timeclocks Overview

Timeclocks functionality allows you to capture staff time and attendance in real time. OnTarget will record the location and device of the user clocking in/out, along with validating that the clock in/out’s are within acceptable range of the site where services are to be rendered. Reminders can be sent to staff if they forget to clock in/out of their shift. The clock in/out records can be tracked on each users’s Dashboard. Determine which services will be paid via timeclock records versus the shift note time in/out. Services with timeclock designations will place the timeclock records on the timesheet for payroll purposes.

    • Note: Shift schedules are required for clock in/out at this time. This course will focus on the system configuration that is required for timeclocks in OnTarget.

  • Configure Admin Security Permissions: Configure→ Security→ Configure Roles.
    • Select roles accordingly to set the following permissions in the Desktop Security tab:

Timeclock Rules

• Setup Timeclock Rules (all are optional): Configure→ List Configuration→ Timeclocks→ Rules.

  1. Set the number of minutes before start of shift to allow clock-in.
    • Note: This prevents staff from being able to clock in a certain amount of time prior to shift start time.
  1. Set the number of minute start of shift to allow clock-out.
    • Note: This prevents staff from being able to clock out a certain amount of time after the shift has ended.
  1. Check to Send Reminders if staff forget to clock-in 15 minutes after shift starts or clock-out 15 minutes after shift ends.

Timeclock Rules (EVV - Specific)

Setup Timeclock Rules (all are optional): Configure→ List Configuration→ Timeclocks→ Rules.

  1. Send supervisor task when time has been edited on note. Note: when this box is checked, any time start/end times of timeclocks have been edited (w/ resulting note changes), the assigned supervisor will be notified via task message.
  2. Allow Caregiver Timeclock Edits. Note: when this box is checked, staff will be allowed to make edits to timeclock start/end times in OnTarget.
  3. Timeclock edit minutes window. Note: the time entered (in minutes) allowed to timeclock start/end times (based on the original scheduled time).
  4. Allowed radius for non-residential shifts (in miles). Leave blank to allow all distances. Note: this is the allowed radius for EVV shifts from the geographical point of clock in/out, to the client's home address (entered in the client's record in OnTarget).

Timeclock EVV Reason & Action Codes

Setup Timeclock Rules (all are optional): Configure→ List Configuration→ Timeclocks→ EVV Reason Codes/EVV Action Codes.

Note: standard 'Reason' and 'Action' codes are pre-installed, based on individual state/EVV requirements. This is where edits can be made to those master lists.
