Want to stop employees from clocking in for colleagues who aren't at work? This article shows you how to turn on a rotating PIN or rotating QR code on the terminal that changes every 5 minutes.
How the rotating code works
The terminal displays a code that changes automatically every 5 minutes.
An employee who is physically at the workplace types in the code from the terminal (PIN) or scans it with their phone (QR code) to confirm their clock-in or clock-out.
Because the code keeps changing, there's no point photographing it or sending it to colleagues — it expires within a few minutes.
You can choose between two options:
Rotating PIN — a numeric code shown on the terminal.
Rotating QR code — a QR code shown on the terminal.
How to set it up
Open the Office → Terminal tab.
Click the terminal you want to edit.
In the terminal settings, choose the sign-in method: Rotating PIN or Rotating QR code.
Save your changes.
Let your employees know how they will clock in from now on.
Only one method can be active at a time. If you choose the rotating QR code, the PIN disappears from the terminal and employees can no longer clock in with a PIN. The same applies the other way round. Tell your employees about the change in advance.
Don't have a terminal yet? See How to Add a Terminal. Instructions for employees are in How to Clock In and Clock Out using Terminal.
