If you start the time clock at the beginning of work but forget to stop it at the end of the workday, the following happens:
1. Automatic stop at midnight At midnight, Timebutler checks whether the time clock is still running. Timebutler sets the end time so that your individual target working time for that weekday is met. If a break regulation is also set for you, Timebutler adds the required minimum break to the time entry and moves the end time back accordingly.
Timebutler saves the time entry with the note Stopped automatically.
2. Notification to you
You receive an email from Timebutler with a note about the automatically stopped time entry and details on how the end time was calculated. The email contains a Correct time entry button that you can click.
3. Correct the end time
After you click the Correct time entry button in the email, you go to the edit form for the time entry and can change the end time.
The time tracking settings determine whether changes to a time entry take effect immediately or must be approved by your manager. If approval is needed, we inform your manager by email. They can approve or reject the change with one click.
4. The label is removed
As soon as you change the end time, Timebutler also removes the Stopped automatically note. This way, only time entries that were stopped at midnight and have not yet been corrected stay labelled. You and your manager can then see immediately in Timebutler which entries still need revising.
No stop for night shifts Timebutler does not stop the time clock if an admin has activated night shifts and the time clock was started after 12:00 noon. This ensures that on night shifts — where you start work at 9:00 PM, for example — the time clock does not stop automatically at midnight.
