Timecards - Mobile Interface

Updated 2 years ago by Shiftboard Support

A timecard is a record of hours that a person worked. If the timeclock feature is enabled, timecards are automatically created based on clocked in/out times for shifts. If the timeclock functionality is not used then, a timecard can be added.

Viewing Timecards

To view timecards, navigate to the Timecard page:

The timecard page automatically lists timecards that have yet to be approved or processed from the past 30 days. The total number of timecards in the list is shown in the top left corner:
