Enhanced Time Clock Management in BambooHR Time Tracking

We are thrilled to announce a significant update to your BambooHR Time Tracking experience! We've introduced a dedicated Devices tab within your Time Tracking Settings, making it easier and clearer than ever to manage all your time clock devices, whether they are BambooHR Time Clocks or BambooHR Time Kiosks.

This update is designed to empower you with seamless management of your time tracking hardware, giving you more time to focus on what matters most – your people.

What's New?

• Centralized Device Management: The new Devices tab in Time Tracking Settings provides a single, intuitive location to view and manage all your connected time clock devices. No more guessing what's connected or where to find device-specific information! This central hub allows you to easily see all your Time Kiosks and Time Clocks, along with their connection status.

• Streamlined Device Onboarding:
  • Time Kiosk App: If you're looking to add a new Time Kiosk, the process is now more integrated. Simply download the app from the App Store, complete the setup tutorial, and the device will automatically appear in your Devices table.
  • Physical Time Clocks: Interested in purchasing additional physical Time Clocks? You can now initiate a request directly from the Devices tab by clicking Add New Device, then Add Time Clock, which will lead you to a simple request form for our sales team.

• Enhanced Device Status and Configuration: For connected physical Time Clocks, you can now view detailed device connection statuses (Config Online/Offline, Data Online/Offline, Firmware Online/Offline) and easily edit device nick names and time zones. This provides greater transparency and control over your hardware.

• Automatic Clock-In ID Enablement: When a time clock device is added to your account, Clock-In ID functionality will be automatically enabled. This streamlines the setup process, ensuring your employees can quickly begin clocking in. The default setting for Clock-In ID will be the BambooHR employee number.

These updates are designed with your efficiency in mind, helping you to save time and do your best work:

• Improved Accuracy and Control: With clear visibility into device connection statuses and the ability to easily configure device settings, you can ensure your time tracking is always accurate and reliable. This helps minimize errors and discrepancies, leading to smoother payroll processing.
• Faster Onboarding of New Devices: The integrated workflows for adding Time Kiosk apps and requesting physical time clocks enable you to get new devices up and running faster than ever, allowing your teams to start tracking time efficiently without delay.
