Account Activation #

The contractor will do the following to activate their account:

  3. Once the App is installed they must return to the email and click the Activate My Account link (if they open the app prior to clicking this link they will not be able to login)

When taking a break they will simply click the Break option. Once all breaks have been taken the Break button will be removed from the screen only allowing the Contractor to Clock Out.

Note: If the Contractor is set to Hide Timeclock on the placement record, they will instead be prompted to enter their hours manually.
