Changelog - Version History & Release Notes

FeatureCalculations now follow your shift start time from Keka
- New Count Early Clock In setting. When it is off, time worked before your shift starts is not counted towards your effective hours, and your checkout time is counted from the shift start
- Heads up: this setting is off by default, so if you usually clock in early, your effective hours and checkout time may change. Turn it on in Settings if your company counts early time
FeatureLate clock-in warning on the Home tab
- If your first clock-in of the day is after your shift start, it is shown in orange with a warning icon. Hover over it to see how late you were and that you may be penalized under your attendance policy
- New Allow Clock In Flexibility and Clock In Flexibility Minutes settings give you a grace period after your shift start
- A late arrival request applied for today (pending or approved) automatically extends the grace period
- When you clock in on time, your clock-in and clock-out times are shown in green
ImprovementPlan tab now uses your shift start time, leaving out early time that doesn't count and warning you when a planned clock-in would be late
