The option of clocking in and out without a planned shift allows your employees to clock-in and out if they don’t have a previous planned shift on the schedule.


Setting up the option “Clock-in with an unplanned shift”

Go to Settings > Time clock :

  • Select the "Settings" tab

  • Check the option "Enable unplanned shift clock in”

  • Save


Finding the information on Combo once the shift is clocked in

The registration of your employees appears in 3 places in Combo :

  • On the schedule

Once the employee has clocked out, the shift will appear on the schedule. An icon at the bottom right of the shift indicates that it’s a clock-in without a planned shift.

Good to know : The planned shift is displayed on the schedule and is taken into account on the counters once the employee has clocked out !

  • In the shift report :

The planned shift is shown in the shift report as soon as the clock-in is completed. It is indicated as "Incomplete" until the employee signs off.

  • On the HR Dashboard :

From the tab RH > Time Clock anomalies, you will find the unplanned shift with the mention "Unplanned"


📌 The Combo time-clock must be enabled in order to configure it, and it is only available to admins. This is a paid add-on.
