How to clock in and out
- Open Clox. The Clox app opens on the clock screen. In the web app at app.getclox.com, open Today.
- If Clox asks for one, choose a project.
- Tap Clock in.
- Work your shift. The timer keeps running if you close Clox.
- When you're done, open Clox and press and hold Hold to clock out until the button fills. In the web app, tap Clock out.
Switching projects mid-shift
You don't need to clock out to move to another project.
While you're clocked in, tap the project name and choose the new project. Clox asks how to apply it:
- Switch from now: time already worked stays on the original project, and new time goes to the project you selected. Your shift keeps running.
- Apply to the whole shift: the project is applied to all time worked so far. In the Clox app this option reads Apply to whole shift.
If you forgot to choose a project when you clocked in, the web app selects Apply to the whole shift for you. The Clox app applies the project to the whole shift without asking.
Breaks and lunch
There are two ways to handle lunch:
- Manual break: tap Take break when you leave and End break when you return. Break time is recorded separately and excluded from paid time, unless your company keeps short breaks paid.
- Automatic lunch deduction: your manager can set Clox to deduct lunch from any shift longer than a set length. The deduction shows on your timesheet, so a 9-hour shift with a 30-minute lunch shows 8h 30m of paid time.
Fixing a missed clock-out
In the web app, open Timesheet. If your last shift is still running, a Needs you notice says Still on the clock since the time you started.
Tap Set clock-out, enter the time you stopped working, and save.
Fixing past shifts
The steps differ between the web app and the Clox app.
In the web app
If your manager allows employees to edit their own shifts, open Timesheet, select the shift, correct the times, and save. You can also add a note explaining the change.
In the Clox app
Tap the shift under Recent shifts. Enter the right start and end times, add a project or reason if needed, and tap Send request.
Your manager reviews the request before your timesheet changes.
Fixing the start of a shift that's still running
In the web app, open the running shift and change the start time without entering an end time.
In the Clox app, tap Adjust start time below the timer and send the corrected time. Your shift keeps running while your manager reviews the request.
Approved shifts
Once a shift has been approved and locked, it can't be changed until a manager reopens it.
