You can enable Time Tracking for multiple employees at once by navigating to Settings and selecting Time Tracking. Click Add Employees to choose which employee(s) you would like to enable Time Tracking for.

Step 1

1. Filter: If you want to enable time tracking for all employees within a specific department, location, pay type, etc., use the filter to select a subset of employees.
2. No Pay Schedule: If an employee does not have an assigned pay schedule, you cannot enable Time Tracking for the employee until you add them to an active pay schedule.
3. Select Employees: Click on an employee's name and use Shift or Command to select multiple employees at a time. Then, click on the arrow to move the employees into the selected section.

Step 2

1. Enable Now or Schedule Start Date: Once you have selected the correct employees, you can decide to enable Time Tracking for the employees at the moment,  which will immediately* give them access to track hours worked. Or, click Schedule Start Date to enable Time Tracking for the employees as of a future date.

If you choose to schedule the start date, you can select when you would like Time Tracking to start for each pay schedule. You can select a pay period start date from one of the next three pay periods. If an employee has a future hire date that matches their compensation effective date, you can select their hire date to schedule Time Tracking.

*If an employee shows as Future Hire Date and you click Enable Now, the employee will have Time Tracking enabled as of their future hire date. This is only true if the employee's hire date and their compensation effective date are the same.

Step 3

1. Verify your choices.

Once you have enabled Time Tracking for your employees, you will see a list of all employees who have Time Tracking enabled. If an employee has a future scheduled start date, you will see that date right below the employee's name.

If you need to edit the start date, hover over the employee's name and click on the calendar icon. Or, click Change All Start Dates at the top to change all employees' scheduled Time Tracking start dates. 

Note: You will only see Hire Date as an option if all employees with a future start date have the same hire date. Otherwise, you will need to go to the specific employee's profile to update their start date to their hire date.

To add employees to Time Tracking on a group by group basis, simply navigate to the group and select Add Employees. Then, follow the modal to determine who should be added and when. If you have not created additional Time Tracking groups, all your employees will be added to the Default group.
