Limit employee ability to make changes.
Since I am not out on the jobsite, I don't know what task they are actually doing. Currently, I have given our employees the ability to change their own timecard. However, I would like to limit their ability to make changes to the job specific information (job name, task, description) and not the clock-in and clock-out times. Leaving them the ability to change their hours can create additional problems.
7 votesHey guys, thank you so much for the idea! I definitely see the value of a feature such as this. While we don’t have this exact feature at the moment, there is something that might be useful to you guys. One of our more recent features was the ability for the users to be able to edit their notes without actually editing the time. So in a similar sense the employee could leave you a note that they need the job/task updated for them and still not be able to change the time. That may help for the time being, but we keep this request under review!

ask if traveling to next job after clock out
My staff do multiple jobs in a day so after clocking out of the current job a prompt asking if they are travelling to the next job that would accumulate towards their total time for the day to make it easier for payroll to see total hours worked.
10 votesHey there, Paul. Thanks for sharing your support for this idea here! As support continues to mount for this suggestion, our development team will plan how to bring this to you in ClockShark. :)

expand geofence capabilities
I have a property mgmt business for properties located across a 1.5-2 mile radius, run by both office and a maintenance team. As a result, the current smaller radius of geofencing requires employees to clock in/clock out even if they are on duty...just because they travel across zones. If you can't expand the geofence radius, which is ideal, can you allow geogence zones to be contiguous, like a cloverleaf or polygon, so that employees only get prompted to clock-in or -out when they really leave the "shaded area" or zone overlap that comprises the entire portfolio? Thanks.

Add a time stamp when an employee enters and leaves the GPSFence™ Geofence Area.
A time stamp would show when they arrived and when they left the jobsite in case they forgot to sign in or out from a job site. This would stop alot of guess work for employee and employer.

Add a way for each employee to sign off on their daily time sheet saying its correct
Only the employee know what they have done that day. I believe that if they had to sign off on their time sheet saying it was correct, alot of things would be corrected by them not office staff.

We have since added a new feature called Clock Out Questions which allows you to create and ask a set of questions based on a set of employees, or if a certain job is worked. A lot of companies are using this as a way to have employees approve their time.
You can ask them at the end of each day “Do you approve your time?”, if they had a mistake they can select no and you can even get notified so you can fix their timesheet. Or you can have a questionnaire fire depending on a certain job you create.
Other than that, we do really want to add an approval option that is able to be done from the mobile app itself. Please keep voting and commenting!

Simplified manual time entering
We would like to split our day spent at multiple job sites easier to enter. Once we enter a time in for that day, it should default to the last time entered rather than going back to 8:00am again.
8 votesHey, Jessica.
Thanks for sharing this idea on our voting page. When it comes to manual time entry, we do want that to be as swift as possible, so having the app intuitively remember when the last time entry ended would be extremely helpful.
Let’s allow other users to vote on this idea, and we will consider adding this in a future update. If you have any other suggestions or ideas, feel free to share those here, or with me at hello@clockshark.com. Thanks, Jessica.

Deny clock in access
Do not allow an employee to clock in until they are in the GPS fencing area. This way there is no mistakingly clocking in on the way to work .
57 votesThanks for the idea, Bruno. We’ll definitely consider this. Up until now, preventing an employee from clocking in because of their location is a little squirrelly for both parties. So we have a created a conservative in-between.
Currently, you can set up Out of Bounds alerts in ClockShark that will alert you if an employee is clocking in/out from outside the GPS Fence. Let me share an article on how to set that up: http://help.clockshark.com/knowledgebase/articles/1135408-using-gps-fence-geofencing
Out of Bounds alerts will make you aware anytime an employee clocks time when they’re not on the jobsite. We’ll keep our eyes on this idea’s feedback to see if that setting needs to be more restrictive. Keep on voting, folks.

Add a way to punch in without using Jobs & Tasks.
Not everyone needs the jobs and tasks options for the bookkeeping side of things. Punching in could be quickened slightly if being forced to choose a job & task could be optionally removed per employee by administrators.

Location not updating alert for admin
Send the admin an alert when an employee's location data hasn't been recorded at the expected 15 min interval.
This way if the employee closes the app, or for another reason it isn't being recorded, action can be taken to correct it while minimizing lost location data.

Hi, Jesse! Thanks for sharing your suggestion on ClockShark’s Voting Forum: we love to get your feedback! This is an excellent suggestion, and we have started to hear this more frequently. One of the major difficulties in implementing this kind of alert is that it would also fire when employees’ devices naturally cannot provide ClockShark with a location (for example, if an employee is working outside of GPS and cell signal). But it sounds like just having that notification would be helpful, so you can check in with the employee and see what’s causing it.
Let’s let folks vote with you on this idea, and our development team can look to add it to ClockShark in a future update if it gathers great support. Of course, if you have any other suggestions or ideas, please just let me know @ morgan@clockshark.com. :)

Copy/Paste notes from schedule to clocked in job on app.
The ability to copy the notes entered in the schedule section and paste them into the notes section of job when an employee has clocked in would be a great feature. It would eliminate double entry work.

Notes changes and simplified editing
It seems the new update has made it more difficult for guys to write notes? We have been noticing you have to hit the new disk?? icon to get it to save otherwise you loser your note. I don't know if its a glitch or intended purpose but can be quite annoying to the end user when trying to add a simple note. I also believe allowing you to click one person and edit the notes for each day of the week could be simplified by making it a simple list style where you could quickly go through the notes…
6 votesThanks for the message, Cody. The app will ask you to save your notes by pressing that disc icon: it’s a feature, not a bug. :)
Hopefully it grows less annoying as you continue to use it, but if not, please let me know. I want the app to be working as smoothly as possible for you.

GPS needs to be more accurate and current.
GPS should update every 10 minutes and needs to be more accurate with current position.

Thanks for the continued feedback on this issue. Like Cliff said before, a lot of this is reliant on the device of the user itself for the accuracy of the GPS.
For anyone with any questions or issues about that aspect I do recommend reaching out to our support team via chat on the website, email (hello@clockshark.com), or phone (800-828-0689).
GPS updating on a more frequent basis is something that could be done in the future. Right now we feel like the 15 minutes is a good balance of information provided while keeping the battery usage low as well. But keep voting and this will be something we look at!

Disable Warning
Please add the option to disable the "GPS is not enabled!" Warning. Such as a "do not show warning again" checkbox.
13 votesThanks for the suggestion, Rick. That’s currently enabled to remind employees that their locations may not be transmitted if the Location Services aren’t turned on. I’ll share your suggestion with the development team to see if that’s something that is possibly optional.
