This article will explain how to setup both your Payroll Clocking and Job Clocking including setup your Blackpurl if you want to give the ability to your Technicians to pause job clocking on jobs 

For more details about Payroll Clocking and Job Clocking, please review our article - What is Payroll Clocking / Job Clocking / Productivity Reporting

Setup for Payroll Clocking and Job Clocking

To setup both the Payroll Clocking and Job Clocking, these are the following steps:

• From the Blackpurl Header > Click > System settings

• From the System Settings Dashboard > click on

• There are two tabs on the User options:

• Licenced Users

• Time Clocking Staff

• To add a new staff member to Time Clocking Staff - complete the following:

First Name field

Last Name field

• Then move the toggle if they are a Technician (this is the indicator to tell the system if Job Clocking is a requirement for this staff member)

• Then click on

In our example below, we are adding the staff member Kristelle Dubois who is also a Technician

• As we have indicated that Kristelle is a Technician, a new screen will pop up for you to set the labor cost and work schedule of this Technician by filling in the relevant fields        

Once you have finished, click on

Tip
This is also the screen when you record their leave (days off) by clicking onto 

• Once the new staff member has been added, they will list in the bottom section of the screen - Staff member list

Setup - PAUSE Job Clocking

If you want to give your Technicians the ability to pause their Job Clocking, then you will also need to enable the System Setting > Settings & Control - Shop Settings - Allow pause of job clocking 

This action will now provide the Technicians with the ability to pause their Job Clocking sessions without actually job clocking off the job 

The amount of paused time will be taken into consideration when setting the actually hours logged on a job and the accounting entries related to them

All Technician Hour reporting will now also include paused time
