Why are my reports blank?
When shifts are submitted in Justworks Hours, they are automatically submitted in a pending state. Shifts must be approved before they appear in reports. You can approve shifts in the ‘Manage Shifts’ tab and then return to the ‘Reports’ tab. Information from approved shifts will appear here. You can also edit your preferences to automatically approve all shifts submitted in Justworks Hours. This will immediately push data to reports.
How do I approve a shift?
To approve a shift, click on the ‘Manage Shifts’ tab. Click on the checkbox next to any shifts you’d like to approve. Then click on the ‘Approve Shifts’ button near the top of the page.
You can also approve a shift by clicking on the row for the individual shift and then clicking on ‘Save and Approve’ in the Shift Details window.
What are locations used for?
Locations in Justworks Hours are anywhere your employees go to do work. This could be your office or warehouse, or it could be remote locations for field work. Every shift tracked in Justworks Hours must be assigned to a location so your account will need at least one.
What are offices in Justworks Hours?
Justworks Hours offices are different than Justworks Hours locations. While locations are used to describe and organize data for anywhere your employees go to work, offices are intended to group employees by time zone or corporate office. If all your employees work in the same time zone and have the same overtime preferences, you won’t need to worry about multiple offices. If you have offices in multiple time zones (or countries), you can use Justworks Hours Offices to assign different time zones and overtime rules to employees in different geographic areas.
How do I set up the geofence feature?
Justworks Hours’s mobile app allows for advanced location awareness. As a result, you can control where your employees are allowed to check in using our geofence feature. Employees must be within a specified radius of one of your locations in order to check in for work.
To activate the geofence, click on the person icon in the top, right corner and then on click on ‘Preferences’. From there choose ‘Mobile Settings’ from the left side of the screen. Make sure the geofence feature is set to ‘on’ and then set the radius of the fence. You can also decide whether your employees must still be at the designated location in order to check out from work.
