This article is about Justworks PEO and Payroll. What product am I using?
We understand that every business operates differently, so we created numerous different ways for employees to clock in and out. They can do so on their phone through the Justworks mobile app, from their desktop through the Justworks Time Tracking website, or on a shared tablet through Justworks Terminal. This article outlines how employees can track their time through a shared tablet through Justworks terminal.
What is Terminal mode?
Justworks Terminal is designed for teams that use a shared device to clock in and out. It allows employees to track their time on a shared tablet or iPad by entering a unique PIN, making it ideal for on-site, hourly, or shift-based teams. Terminal Mode helps ensure quick, consistent clock-ins without requiring employees to use their own devices, while giving admins a centralized, reliable way to manage shared time tracking.
How to Access Terminal mode
Any manager or admin can easily access Terminal Mode by downloading Justworks Terminal from the Google Play store or iOS app store. Once downloaded, you can log into Justworks Terminal by using the same credentials you use to access Justworks. Once you have logged in, you will then be brought to the home screen of Justworks Terminal.

Please note, when a manager signs into Justworks terminal, it will only display their direct reports. To see a list of all employees assigned to that location, please have a manager with the appropriate permissions log into Justworks terminal. If an employee is not listed among the rest of the employees, please confirm that they are assigned to the selected location.

If they are currently clocked out, once they enter their pin, they will be automatically clocked in. If they are already clocked in, they’ll have the option to start a break or clock out for the day.

As soon as an employee clocks in or out, the app is returned to the list of employees, allowing others to clock in and out. Admins can quickly view each employee’s status at a glance using the color indicator next to their name. A green circle means the employee is clocked in, a yellow circle indicates they’re on a break, and an unfilled circle means they’re currently clocked out.
