Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

"Employee is already clocked in for today"

This means you've already clocked in today. You can only clock in once per day. If you need to clock out, use the "Clock Out" button instead.

Location access denied

The system will still work without location access, but it's recommended to allow location services for better security and verification.

Button not responding

Try refreshing the page or check your internet connection. If the issue persists, contact your administrator.

Hours not updating

Hours are calculated in real-time. If you don't see updates, try refreshing the page or wait a few moments for the system to sync.
