Join nowThey clock in via mobile. However, how do I prevent a manual clock in? I can't tell if they are late to work and I am not sure they clocked in and manually placed a time in or they automatically clocked in.

I hope you had a great weekend. Thanks for checking in with the Community. Accurate timekeeping is definitely a priority and I’m happy to help you with that.

If you constantly having to worry about employees punching time for one another, then you should consider to utilize the facial recognition feature. When an employee goes to punch time or login to their account, their face is compared to that of the image the app has on file. If the app doesn’t recognize the employee, they will receive an error message and won’t be able to punch in/out or login to their account. You may find the feature on another time tracker app. Afaik, QB Time only offers this feature on kiosks.

To remove the permission that allows for mobile time entry, you'll head to the individual employee's permissions. Here's how:
I'd love to hear how this goes. I'm here for any other questions you may have on this or anything else within the product. Have a fantastic Wednesday.
