New Feature: Cross-Shop Clocking for Multi-Location Staff

We're thrilled to announce cross-shop clocking—a feature designed for businesses with staff who work at multiple locations.

The Problem We Solved

Many businesses have staff who work at different locations throughout the week. Previously, this created challenges:

• Staff could only clock in at their "home" location
• Working at other locations required manual timesheet adjustments
• Managers couldn't easily see which location staff were working at
• Payroll became complicated with multiple locations

How Cross-Shop Clocking Works

Now, staff can clock in at any location they're authorised to work at:

1. Enable the feature: Turn on cross-shop clocking for specific staff
2. Staff clocks in: They enter their PIN at any location
3. Select location: System asks which shop they're working at today
4. Automatic tracking: Hours are recorded for the correct location

Key Features

Flexible Authorisation

Use Cases

2. Edit a staff member
3. Enable "Allow Cross-Shop Clocking"

Security Considerations

We've built in safeguards:

• Staff can only clock in at authorised locations
• All clock-ins are logged with location data
• Managers can see exactly where staff clocked in
• Photo verification works across all locations

Customer Feedback

"This feature is a game-changer for us. We have 10 staff who regularly work at 2-3 different stores. Before, we had to manually adjust their timesheets every week. Now it's automatic."
