How do I clock in for a scheduled shift? (Desktop)

Modified on Mon, 11 Dec, 2023 at 5:21 PM

Time to start a new shift? Barely able to contain your excitement? We know just how you feel. Find out how to clock in so that you can start working.


  1. Load your Shiftie dashboard and click on the timer at the top of the screen.
  2. If it's time to clock in a modal will open with a 'Start Shift' button. Click it to clock in and start working. (Depending on the company settings you may only be able to clock in if you are physically on-site.) The panel will update so that you can log your breaks and clock out once you're done. 
  3. If you're too early for your shift the Start button may be greyed-out. If that's the case then unless your employer allows unscheduled shifts you'll have to wait. Patiently.
  4. That's it. Almost embarrassingly straightforward, isn't it?
