BambooHR Time Tracking provides digital timesheets, approval workflows, and automated overtime and holiday pay rates. It integrates seamlessly with BambooHR Payroll and exports to third-party systems. Employees can enter hours from the web or mobile app, while administrators manage pay schedules and permissions.

Go to the employee’s profile > click the three-dot menu > Time Tracking > Enable Time Tracking.

If the employee still cannot see the Time Clock, confirm they are assigned to a Time Tracking Group and an active Pay Schedule.

If time was entered on a timesheet using the Single Daily Entry method before an admin switched the time tracking settings to Multiple Daily Entries, that employee's current timesheet remains locked in the old format until the next pay period to protect record accuracy.

Time Tracking uses the time zone assigned to the employees Location in Job Info. Remote employees default to the companys time zone but can update their own in Account Settings. Local Time appears only when the viewer is in a different time zone.

If the End Employment button wasn't used to terminate the employment, the employee may remain active. To fix this, go to Settings > Time Tracking > Employees. Hover over the employee's name and click the X to remove them.
