If your workplace requires clocking in
Your Super Admin chooses how hours get into Vaultime (Settings → Time entry → How hours are recorded):
| Optional | Required, flag typed hours | Required, block typed hours | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clock in | Available (if switched on) | Expected | The only way |
| Log hours by hand | Normal | Allowed, but each typed entry is flagged Typed, not clocked | Hidden; typed hours are refused |
| Forgot to clock? | Type the hours | Type them (flagged) | Ask a manager to Add missed shift |
| Best for | Office teams, mixed work | Moving to clocking in gently | Hourly staff paid on punches |
One person can follow a different rule from the rest of the workspace; see How hours are recorded, and exceptions for one person in Workspace settings.
Example: Harbour Café uses Required, block typed hours, so Maya has no Log hours button. When her phone died mid-shift, Tom added the shift for her with Add missed shift in Approvals.
