Show temperature check during clock-ins
Updated onArticleTimeForge allows managers to enable temperature checks at their location. With temperature screening enabled, when an employee attempts to clock in for their shift, they will be prompted to answer the question, "Is your body temperature over 100 F?"
If the employee answers No, they will be clocked in normally. If the employee answers Yes, they will be prevented from clocking in, and instructions will be shown on screen to wait for a manager. TimeForge will automatically send a message to the manager to let them know the employee is waiting.
This feature works on browser-based clock-ins and on our hardware time clocks. It also works alongside our COVID-19 Health Questionnaire, which prompts employees to answer a few quick questions recommended by the CDC.

Show COVID-19 questionnaire during clock-ins
Updated onArticleTo help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus, TimeForge can prompt a health questionnaire during clock-in. The questionnaire presents the employee with a few quick questions similar to those used in the CDC Facilities COVID-19 Screening.
If the employee answers No to all of the screening questions, they will be clocked in normally. If the employee answers Yes to any of the questions, they will be prevented from clocking in, and instructions will be shown on screen to wait until a manager arrives. TimeForge will automatically send a message to the manager to let them know that the employee is waiting.
This feature currently works on our browser based clock-ins at this time. It works alongside our temperature check feature, which can be enabled per location.

Create Leave Policies, such as "Sick Leave" and "Vacation"
Updated onArticleThis guide teaches Managers how to create and use Leave Policies, such as "Vacation" or "Sick Leave." Leave policies in TimeForge can be Location-based, Corporation-wide, or applied only to specific individuals.
Location-based leave could be useful if your corporate office gets PTO but your call center doesn't, for example. Location-based leave could also be useful if your business has locations spread across multiple states and those states have different PTO rules.
