An Automatic clocking card naming Tallinn depot with Turn on An Automatic clocking card naming Tallinn depot with Turn on Automatic clocking uses your phone’s arrival at and departure from an employer-configured workplace. You choose whether to enable it; your employer cannot opt your phone in for you.

​
Turn it on or off

1

Read the invitation

When the app offers automatic clocking, read what background location is used for. Choose Turn on to continue, or Not now to leave it off.
2

Allow background location

Your phone asks straight after Turn on. On Android, choose Allow all the time in the dialog or on the location settings page your phone opens. On iPhone, allow location While using the app first, then choose Always allow when your phone offers the change. Automatic clocking needs precise location set that way to detect arrival and departure while the app is closed. Approximate location is not enough to watch a workplace.

Check your setting

Open More → Profile & settings → Preferences, then use Automatic clocking at work. You can turn it off there at any time. If your phone granted less than Always, the same row says automatic clocking is paused and offers Open settings.
The switch is per workspace. If you work for more than one employer in Begin, turn it on in each workspace you want clocked. Your phone watches the workplaces of every workspace where it is on, whichever workspace is open in the app. Turning it off in one workspace leaves your phone watching the others. Your phone watches at most 20 workplaces at once, across every workspace: the one you are clocked in at first, then those of your next shifts, then the rest by name. While automatic clocking is on, the info button beside Automatic clock-in and clock-out in Preferences shows how many your phone watches and whether that limit has been reached. Not now postpones the invitation for 7 days on that phone. Tapping outside it or using the back gesture only closes it for the current visit; it can appear again when you return to Timesheet. When your workplace turns automatic clocking on, you get one notification in your inbox and on your phone. You are told once. Tapping it on your phone opens the invitation straight away, even while it is postponed, and the inbox item on your phone has a Turn on button that does the same. In a browser, the notification says to turn it on in the Begin app on your phone, and so does Timesheet when you open it from that notification, because a browser cannot clock you automatically. Preferences in a browser shows whether automatic clocking is on or off for you, with the same pointer to the phone app. When your employer has an eligible workplace set up and you have not enabled automatic clocking, Timesheet shows Automatic clocking is available with a Turn on button.

Check what happened

Your workplace may clock you automatically, ask you through a notification, or do nothing for a particular arrival or departure. Its rules can include a waiting period and a scheduled-shift requirement. Crossing the boundary does not promise an immediate punch. Check your timesheet for Automatic punches. If automatic clocking is paused, read the reason in the app and check your phone’s location permission. Your location is recorded with a punch, not as a continuous trail between punches.
