What are clocking rules?

Clocking rules allow you to define how employees track their time when working on-site or remotely. You can specify from where they are allowed to clock in and how many daily entries are required.

Administrators and Power Users can configure company-wide clocking rules or customize them for individual users.

Types of clocking rules

Clocking requirements (Timestamp requirements)

Clocking requirements define how many times a person must record their presence during the workday. Fluida offers several options:

  • Every clock-in / clock-out (including breaks): Users must clock in and out at the start and end of their shift, as well as for scheduled breaks (such as lunch).

  • Start / End of shift: Users must clock in at the start and clock out at the end of their workday.

  • Once-a-day presence: Users only need to clock in once during the day to confirm they are working.

  • None: Users with this setting are not required to enter any clock-ins.

Remote clocking (By remote)

Fluida allows you to choose different clocking modes for remote work (e.g., working from home, mobile roles, or business trips):

  • Not allowed / Not required: Users are either not authorized to work remotely or can do so without needing to clock in.

  • Enabled areas only (GPS): When working remotely, users must provide a certified clock-in via smartphone by geolocating within specific authorized areas.

  • From anywhere (no validation): Users record their time manually (non-certified) by selecting "Remote" as their location.
