Once your labor categories are created, assign them to the employees who should use them.

Before You Start

Make sure you have completed these steps first:

Assigning Categories to an Employee

1. Log into TimeTrakGO with your administrator account.
2. Navigate to Employees and open the employee's profile.
3. Select the Labor Allocation tab.
4. Assign the employee's Home Labor Allocation (their default department or job). You can leave it blank to make the employee choose when they clock in.
5. Save the changes.

The next time that employee clocks in, they will be prompted to select an option from each assigned category before their punch is recorded.

What the Employee Sees

When an employee clocks in, they are prompted to select an option from each category that is set to "Required to clock in" before their punch is confirmed. For example, if you've assigned both a "Department" and a "Job" category, the employee selects or verifies their department and their job before clocking in.

If the category is set as transferable, the employee sees a Transfer button during their shift. Tapping it lets them switch to a different category option without clocking out. TimeTrakGO records the time spent under each selection automatically.
