On-Demand Restrictions

The store owner has full control over which of the four worker networks your on-demand shifts can be posted to. In the case that your location's owner is not yet registered in Clockedin, your location default will be 'In Network'. Following is an explanation of each network's particulars:

Restrictions

In Market - this setting offers the widest radius and the largest worker pool, surrounding the region where the store is located. This setting is perfect when the worker doesn't require brand knowledge.

In Brand - this setting limits visibility to only those individuals who have worked or who are currently working within your brand. When you need workers to have some familiarity with your operations, choose this one.

In Network - this setting limits visibility to only those individuals who are currently working at one of the stores under the same Owner. This is a great way to maximize a shared workforce.

In Store - this setting offers the tightest control, limiting visibility to only those individuals who are currently working in a single location.

To change the restrictions for your network, navigate to your profile, then Settings. Scroll down to Live Mode and select the restriction.

In the owner's role, you are responsible for setting up payments to ensure any shifts worked are paid out.

To enter a payment method:
a) go to your profile and tap Settings,
b) Scroll down to the bottom of the screen.
c) Under PAYMENT INFORMATION, tap Add, and fill in the payment details.
d) When complete, tap the checkmark.

Note: Shifts cannot be booked without valid payment info on file.

Clockedin helps keep the door open to your veterans which can really make a dent in the cost of turnover.

To do so, simply invite all of your current and past team members to be part of your network. Then, when a change occurs in their availability, encourage them to stay in touch and pick up shifts with you on an on-demand basis. They can get hours without a regular or long term commitment and you keep knowledgeable team members available to you when you need them. It's a win-win.

Effective Team Management

Think outside the traditional recruiting box

Whether you want to build your roster, fill a scheduled shift, cover a last-minute call-off, or even bring in extra resources to enhance the customer experience and increase sales, Clockedin has you covered.

Now Hiring (Shortlist): is a free, passive system that lets workers apply at your locations in the background, and when you're hiring, kicks on a high volume pipeline. It's a fantastic alternative to the costly, time-hogging traditional methods of pulling in new people.

View and Connect with Shortlist Candidates

a) To see the candidates who have already signed up to your shortlist, simply tap SHIFTS on the main window and then TEAM. If there are any, they will be listed across the top.

b) To see all the candidates if there are several, simply tap on VIEW ALL. You can then get a detailed view of each candidate by tapping their avatar to open their profile.

c) Once you identify a candidate you'd like to learn more about, you will need to invite them to your network.

d) To do so press +CONNECT on their profile.

e) Next, choose NETWORK on the main dashboard.. Once the candidate receives and accepts your incoming request, they will appear here. You are now able to message with this new connection.

Chat with Candidates

Once you have connected with a candidate (or anyone), you can easily chat with them by selecting their record in NETWORK, and then tapping the comment bubble.

Get more Candidates - Turn on the Now Hiring sign

To open a pipeline for more shortlist candidates, you can cause your company pin on the Clockedin map to advertise that your location is currently hiring.

a) From SHIFTS, tap on VIEW ALL
b) Toggle the switch at the top under "Now Hiring".

Be sure to turn it off once you've found the people you need.

When you need resources fast, On-Demand gets you instant access to workers both in and outside your network.

Note: You need to add a form of payment (this is a one-time step) in order to post a shift. If you do not have a card on file, you will be prompted to enter it. This card will be debited for worker wages ONLY. You can also enter these details in the settings area of your profile.

1. Post an On-Demand Shift

a) Tap ON DEMAND on the app dash.
b) Tap "Select shift details"
c) Set the shift date and the start and end times.
d) Set the worker's hourly rate. (see notes below)
e) Select the skills the worker should have (optional).
f) Add a note with any important details for the candidate (optional).
g) Tap "Post this shift"

Payment Notes:

• When you post a shift, a hold will be placed in the debit account on file for the amount of that shift's wages. If you do not end up confirming a worker for the shift, the funds will be released.
• The wage you set here will determine the amount paid by you via the app to fill the shift. In the case that the shift will be filled by one of your own current employees (not paid by the app), you still need to enter a value even though it will not be paid out.
• In the case that you need a worker to stay beyond the scheduled shift, you will need to post a new on-demand shift

2. Confirm the Posted Shift

Once you've posted a shift, you're likely to get several applicants who are interested in taking it and you'll receive a notification for each one. You can view their profiles and chat with them to learn more about their experience. Once you've decided on the right one for your shift:

a) Confirm the worker's request for your shift. They'll receive a notification in the app stating they need to confirm the shift. Once done, you'll both receive an email confirmation for your records. Other candidates who had been interested in your shift will get an in-app notification that it has been filled.

b) Check your team under SHIFTS and you'll see that the applicant has now been added to your available team.

c) At this point you will receive an email confirming the shift has been filled.

Set Up for Success

When the worker arrives for their shift, make sure someone is there to meet them and let them know what is expected for their shift duties. The worker will clock in and out with the app at the scheduled times (backed up by GPS). If you need the worker to stay longer than the set shift, you'll need to post a new shift for them.

Note: When an employee has been given a shift schedule at their home store (in Clockedin), the system will prevent them from viewing any on-demand shifts that overlap.

No longer need to fill the shift?

In the unlikely event you have not gotten any candidates by the start time of your shift or have not yet selected a candidate, the on demand shift will automatically expire.

Any employee who joins your private network will stay on the network after they effectively quit. When managers across all participating locations post open shifts or open jobs these prior workers are notified about the opportunity. Everyone is free to communicate and managers can rehire at any time.

Managers can post open shifts to their network of current and previous employees and select from requesting candidates. Once the shift is confirmed, the worker arrives on the job and works just like normal. When the shift is over, the account gets charged for the time worked. If the worker is a company employee, there are no fees and the time records are added to the portal. To find out how to post an open shift, see Bring in a skilled worker, on-demand on the Setup Guide above.

You can toggle on the "Now Hiring" sign for any of your locations, and Clockedin will notify all users with prior experience in your brand that you're hiring. All workers interested in re-joining the brand will add themselves to the shortlist where Managers can chat and schedule interviews. Additionally, managers can book a trial shift to see a candidate perform on the job before making the decision to hire them. To find out how to access the shortlist, see Access your shortlist new-hire leads in the setup guide above.

Clockedin serves as the employer of record for all workers who are not company employees. We manage the verification, insurance, compliance, payroll and taxes. Workers track their time in the app and we bill the client for the total amount.

All employees are only visible within your private network by default. For franchise systems looking to share employees between multiple franchisees, clients can enable this feature.

Clients can configure their network to allow current employees to work shifts at multiple locations. Clockedin serves as the time & attendance system for these shifts so the experience is seamless for both workers and managers. Clients can access timesheets at any time or integrate Clockedin with their payroll system. Overtime protection can be enabled by utilizing Clockedin for scheduling or integrating with their current scheduling system.

Shifts and full time jobs can be posted with specific keyword skills such as line cook or prep. Candidates who match with these skills will display a blue checkmark. For enterprise implementations, custom skills can be created.

All recruiting is free and unlimited.

Clockedin is an end to end solution and there is no need to integrate with time and attendance systems however in some business cases it may be desirable.

Yes! Clockedin helps you find qualified staff in three different ways:

1. Leads

Long story short, leads give you access to a pool of pre-trained, experienced, ready-to-go staff.

Leads are people who have left either your store or another store within your brand. In the past we would say they had churned, and they would be gone from your radar. But with Clockedin, they remain accessible as leads so if you're ever hiring, or looking for someone in a pinch, you have a B team sitting, available, ready to work at a moments notice. You can contact your leads directly based on their experience or skills, and you can wither hire them again as permanent staff, or you can bring them in on-demand. When you bring someone in on-demand, Clockedin takes care of everything including documentation and payroll. See on-demand below.

2. Candidates

Candidates are people who want to work at a specific location of your brand.

Clockedin creates a bridge between job seekers and hiring managers with 'shortlists'. Each user can put their name on the lists of up to ten locations where they most want to work. When managers are looking for people, they need simply open the shortlist for a selection of candidates. Just like leads, candidates can be hired on permanently, or brought in on an on-demand basis as contractors of Clockedin. To learn how to set this up, head to Guide Step 4.

3. On-Demand

On-demand gives you instant access to both your qualified leads, and skilled workers across the network, at the push of a button. If you find yourself in a situation where you need people fast, it's the perfect way to ensure you get experienced, qualified people who can just show up and start being productive right away.

Our pricing model is super simple. Workers never pay anything, and companies pay no more than $100 per location per month, which is literally nothing when you consider the savings you'll get from turnover reduction. The latest pricing information can be found at https://clockedin.com/plans

Depending on the number of locations you have, it may even be possible to negotiate a volume discount.

Outside of the monthly fee, you are accountable to cover the cost of wages (which you set), related Federal & State taxes, and our system processing fee, for any on-demand shifts you post on the network.

Immediately upon posting a shift on Clockedin, a hold will be placed on your credit card for the total cost of the shift (wages/taxes). Upon completion of the shift, payment will be immediately transferred to Clockedin for pay-out to the worker.

Otherwise, payment for the monthly company fee occurs once per month, or once annually depending on the details of your contract.

Clients can configure their network to allow current employees to work shifts at multiple locations. Clockedin serves as the time & attendance system for these shifts so the experience is seamless for both workers and managers. Clients can access timesheets at any time or integrate Clockedin with their payroll system. Overtime protection can be enabled by utilizing Clockedin for scheduling or integrating with their current scheduling system.
