How to View and Manage the Time Log

Looking for something specific?

  • Updated

The Time Log feature provides a quick glance at employee time. This is useful to learn who is nearing overtime or identify opportunities for more hours to be given to an employee. This feature also allows for manual entry of employee time if needed.


TABLE OF CONTENTS


To view the Time Log

  1. Select Employees from the navigation menu
  2. Select Time Log
  3. Select the center to view (Note: this is a permission specific view for those with access to multiple centers)
  4. View the Time Log table


The Time Log table will default to a Single Day view of staff member clock in/out activity with the option to select Date Range to view punches for the week. The table will also allow you to page through past days and weeks while also being able to filter by the staff member's Role (lead teacher, assistant director, etc.) and Status (active, pending, deactivated).  


The Date Range view will display the cumulative hours the staff member has worked during the week along with any Overtime hours accumulated, the scheduled shift, and the staff member's clock in and out times.  


Please note that within the Time Log, Overtime is defined by time worked beyond the scheduled shift.  For example, if a staff member is scheduled 8 AM - 3 PM, but they work from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM, Kangarootime would display an hour of overtime for that day. 




From the Time Log grid, you can click on an employee to view their Detailed hours and their totals.  The Detailed View will provide a readout of their position, scheduled time, actual time, and adjusted time for each day within the week selected.  The Totals View will break down the staff member's hours in aggregate, parsing out standard time and overtime.
