Learn how to use end-of-shift notifications in VeriClock. This guide explains how to set global or per-shift reminders, configure auto clock-out and time guard options, choose notification recipients and methods, and review or resolve time-guarded events to keep timecards accurate and payroll-ready.
Notifications can be sent to remind employees to clock out, auto clock out employees at a scheduled time, or auto clock out + flag clock events when employees forget to clock out.
Note: **Employees must be clocked into the same job scheduled in a shift, for end of shift alerts to trigger.**
Global Shift Reminders - Default shift reminders can be set to auto-apply to all shifts added to the schedule. See: Settings -->Scheduling -->ensure Enable Scheduling Feature is checked.
- Click on Add Alert and select the Set Default End Of Shift option from the drop down list.
- The end of shift alert can be set to trigger X minutes after shift end time, or a negative time can be used to remind employees to clock out just before the shift is set to end.
- Select whom should be notified and any notification methods.
- Auto clock out employees at the time the alert triggers. This can be used for employees who finish at the shift end time to automate clock out (Optional). Note: **Employees who are auto clocked out will not be able to fill out fields on their clock out page.**
- Timeguards can be used to auto clock out + flag a clock event if the employee does not clock out when they are supposed to. This highlights the clock event, giving admin/managers time to edit the timecard with the actual time the employee left work (Optional).
- Optional comments can be added to the notification to explain the notification, or with additional instructions.
- Click Save.
Per-shift end of shift reminders can be added on a per-shift basis. See: Create a Shift
