When employees clock in for their shift, a time card is created on their behalf. Time cards help you as the employer understand their time worked, and are also how metrics like pay earned and overtime are tracked for your business.

Time cards can be created by employees clocking in on the Point of Sale, or the Hub App if your shop has mobile clock in enabled. You can also manually create a time card on the Dripos Web Dashboard.

Time Card Settings

  1. Select the Time Cards tab at the top of the page:
  1. Here you will be able to view and modify the following time cards settings by clicking Edit next to their respective boxes:

Overtime

Overtime is calculated on a weekly basis. If an employee has worked over 40 hours in a work week, any hours they work past that 40 hour limit will be calculated at a rate of 1.5x of their normal pay:

Calculate Overtime with Dripos: Here, you can determine whether to calculate overtime with Dripos. If set to yes, overtime calculations will appear on your time cards page and time cards report.

Workweek Start: Select when you want this workweek calculation to start for overtime purposes (i.e. what day of the week you’d like your 40 hours to begin on).

If you are a Dripos payroll customer, you must calculate overtime with Dripos in order to remain in compliance with state laws.

Time Card Auto-Approval

Here, you can manage the allowed minute differences from clock in/out to shift start/end for time cards to be auto-approved. This setting allows you to limit the amount of time cards that appear in your approval center:

Your time card auto-approval settings default to 10 minutes before and after shift start/end. So, if an employee clocks in more than 10 minutes before or after the start/end of their shift, the time card created for that shift will appear in the approval center.

All time cards within that 10 minute window will not appear in the approval center, and will be automatically approved.

Here, you can modify the following time card auto-approval settings:

Clock-In Before Shift Start: Enter the amount of minutes employees can clock in before their shift starts and still have their time card to be auto-approved.

Clock-In After Shift Start: Enter the amount of minutes employees can clock in after their shift starts and still have their time card to be auto-approved.

Clock-Out Before Shift End: Enter the amount of minutes employees can clock out before their shift ends and still have their time card to be auto-approved.

Clock-Out After Shift End: Enter the amount of minutes employees can clock out after their shift ends and still have their time card to be auto-approved.

If a time card has been edited but is within the time card auto approval time windows, it will still appear in the approval center for review.

Approve All Settings

Here, you can adjust which time cards are approved when the Approve All button is selected in the approval center:

Approve No Pay Time Cards: If set to yes, time cards with the No Pay Earned flag will be approved when the Approve All button is clicked on in the approval center.

Breaks Settings

Mark Time Cards as Out of Compliance: If set to yes, the Time Cards Report will show which time cards are not in compliance with your state’s Unpaid Breaks laws.

For more details on the individual time cards that make up this report, click on any employee’s name to access their specific time cards:

Understand Tip Breakdowns

If your shop splits the tipping pool by transaction, it may be helpful to know how much an employee is owed in tips for each time card.

If this applies to your shop, each time card for an employee working a shift during which they earn shift will have a breakdown of the tips they made during that shift.

If your shop utilizes Dripos tip payout features, each time card will also display how much this employee was paid out after their shift.

  1. To view tip information for a time card, access the time card anywhere on the dashboard.

This includes Team > Time Cards, Team > Approval Center > Time Cards, Reports > Time Cards Report, or on an individual employee’s page under Time Cards.

  1. Click on an individual time card. If this time card is associated with a role included in a tipping pool, a View Tip Breakdown button will appear:
  1. Click View Tip Payout Breakdown to view all tips associated with this time card. A pop-up will appear:
  1. Click Tip Summary to see how much in tips was allocated to this employee from each transaction checked out during this shift. You are also able to click on the ticket each portion of tips originated from.
  1. Click Credit Debit Summary to see if any credits or debits were applied to tips earned or paid out from this time card.

Tip credit and debits apply when time cards are edited after tips have already been paid out, rendering the previously paid out amount incorrect.

A credit or debit may apply to the tip payout amount on the affected employee’s next shift.

Auto-clocked Out: This tag will appear if a time card has automatically been given an end time. This happens to timecards that have not been clocked out of/ended after 24 hours:

If approving an auto-clocked time card, an extra confirmation screen will appear to ensure that you have acknowledged the time limits on this time card.

No Pay Earned: This tag will appear if no pay has been calculated for this time card. This can occur if a time card is less than one minute long, or if the role/employee that the time card is associated with has no pay rate attached:

Mobile: This tag will appear if the time card has been created using mobile clock in. Since employees usually don’t use mobile clock in while at the store with a manager, these time cards sometimes require more attention:
