Stop unplanned early starts from inflating your wage costs. With Timble’s Prevent Early Clock-in feature, your team can only clock in when their shift is scheduled to start — no surprises, no unnecessary costs.
Some staff arrive early and clock in before their shift starts — and that time gets paid, whether you planned for it or not. This feature lets you set clear limits, ensuring team members only clock in when authorised. It’s a simple way to stay on budget, reduce admin, and keep things fair.
Only pay for the time your staff are rostered to work — no more unplanned early starts.
Keep wage costs aligned with your roster and avoid paying for hours you didn’t expect.
Choose to block early clock-ins completely or allow a short buffer — it’s flexible and up to you.
Make sure all team members start and finish based on the same expectations.
Head to your time clock settings to decide how early staff can clock in — if at all. You can allow a short buffer (like 5 or 10 minutes) or block early clock-ins completely. This gives you full control over when paid time begins.
When a team member opens the clock-in screen, the system clearly shows if it's too early. The button will only become active once the allowed time kicks in, reducing confusion and setting clear expectations for everyone.
Timble only records time from the approved start, so you don’t need to clean up timesheets later. This keeps your records tidy and ensures payroll reflects what was actually rostered — not what was assumed.
Use Prevent Early Clock-in to enforce start times and protect your payroll — all without micromanaging your team.
