Clock in and out for team members
About clocking in and out
As a team member, you can clock in and out using either the Square Point of Sale app or the Square Team app, start and end breaks, and switch jobs during shifts to ensure you are paid accurately for time worked.
Before you begin
Make sure you have a personal passcode provided by your employer. If you don’t have a passcode, ask your employer to generate one. You can view your passcode in your Square Team app.
If your employer enabled the automatic clock-out feature, you will be clocked out automatically after a set amount of time following the end of your scheduled shift. If automatic clock-out is enabled, your employer decides during set up how many minutes you will remain clocked in after the end of a shift until you are automatically clocked out.
Clock in and out
If your employer uses team member badges, you can tap your badge on the point of sale to log in and clock in and out for your shift. You can clock in and out from a Square Point of Sale or the Square Team app.
Team members signing in to the Square app with their own email address will not be prompted to enter a personal passcode to clock in or out.
If the passcode setting is turned off:
- From your Square Point of Sale screen, select the clock icon.
- Enter your passcode and select Clock In.
- To clock out, select the clock icon, enter your passcode, and select End Shift.
If the passcode setting is turned on:
- From your Square Point of Sale screen login screen, enter your passcode and select Clock In.
- To clock out, select Log out > Clock in/out, enter your passcode, and select End Shift.
