Using the Time Tracker (Employee Guide)
Accessing the Time Tracker
Sign in to CrewHR and click Time Tracker in the employee navigation. You will see a digital clock showing the current time and date.
Clocking In
- Select your Location if you work at multiple locations
- Select your Role if applicable
- Click Clock In
The tracker confirms your clock-in and starts showing your elapsed time for the current session.
If you are already clocked in, CrewHR shows a warning to prevent duplicate sessions.
Taking Breaks
During your shift, you can log breaks:
- Click Start Break to begin your break
- The tracker shows your break is active and counts the break duration
- Click End Break when you return to work
Break tracking depends on how your organization has configured breaks:
- If breaks are manual, you control the start and end
- If breaks are automatic, they are applied at clock-out and no break buttons appear
Clocking Out
- Click Clock Out
- Your session is recorded with the total hours worked
Viewing Your History
Below the clock, you can browse your time entry history:
Filtering by Period
Select a time period to view:
- Today: Just today's sessions
- This Week: Current week
- This Month: Current month
- Custom: Pick a specific date range
Entry Details
Each time entry shows:
- Date
- Clock-in and clock-out times
- Total duration
- Break time (if applicable)
Editing Entries
If you notice an error in a past time entry, contact your manager. Admins can edit time entries from the timesheets page.
Tips
- Clock in when you arrive: The tracker records the exact time, so clock in as soon as you start work
- Do not forget to clock out: If you forget, your session stays open and your manager will need to close it
- Log breaks accurately: If your organization tracks breaks manually, make sure to start and end them when you actually take them
- Check your hours weekly: Review your time entries to catch any mistakes early
