Guide to Timeclock and scheduling
To get started, please download the latest version of the mobile application by following the links below and enable the mobile application access by using the below navigation
Android = Timeclock and Scheduling – Apps on Google Play
IOS = Timeclock & Scheduling on the App Store
Pre-requisite:
BambooHR –
BambooHR users can access the mobile application using their BambooHR login credentials. It is important for admins to ensure that all employees are assigned valid BambooHR credentials in order to facilitate seamless access to the mobile application.
For QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop integration, admins are responsible for creating primary login access, which employees can change later.
QuickBooks Online:
As part of the standard integration process, employees’ email addresses will sync from QuickBooks Online. Admins must ensure that a valid email address is assigned in QuickBooks, which will be used as the username when granting mobile application access. Alternatively, admins can create and assign a custom username and password for employees.
QuickBooks Desktop:
For QuickBooks Desktop, admins should create a username and password to enable mobile application access. This can either be done using the employee’s email address or by assigning a custom username and password.
Note: To simplify the process of enabling mobile application access, admins can assign a generic password for all employees. Employees will have the option to change this password later.
To use the system standalone without integration, the same process as for QuickBooks Desktop should be followed. Admins will need to create a username and password to enable mobile application access, using either the employee’s email address or a custom username and password.
