Time entries always belong to a specific calendar day and cannot span past midnight. When entering a time entry, selecting two dates is not possible. Even if you start the virtual time clock and later forget to stop it, Timebutler automatically stops it at midnight.
This day-based separation is required for the working time account and all other reports to be accurate per day, and therefore per week and per month.
If your employees work night shifts, you can work around this as follows:
When entering time entries
The employee should enter two separate time entries for any working time that runs past midnight. For example, for a shift from 22:00 to 06:00 the following day, the employee enters one time entry from 22:00 to 00:00 and another from 00:00 to 06:00.
When recording via the virtual time clock
An admin can configure Timebutler for night shift work. Timebutler will still stop the virtual time clock at midnight, but will automatically restart it in the same second.
To configure this, log in to Timebutler as an admin, click Settings > More… in the bottom left, then click Time tracking on the right. Set the Stop time clock at midnight option and save the change by clicking Save at the bottom of the page.
