This article covers the Clocking Functions in SmartPOS when the system is authorised for and using the Clocking System in Bepoz. Bepoz Clocking is an additional, optional feature that requires initial configuration from a Bepoz retail office or reseller. 

Clocking allows Organizations to track the Time and Attendance of Operators. If configured, then Bepoz can also calculate Gross wages as well as the following: 

  • Daily OverTime Hours
  • Weekly OverTime Hours
  • Paid Breaks
  • Rest Periods
  • Extra Payments

Each Operator can have multiple job roles and each role can have a unique set of Privileges and rates.

Prerequisites 
  • Clocking must first be authorized for the System and enabled via BackOffice Global Settings > "Flags" Tab > Clocking Options
  • If using the "Flat" Till Scheme , the Clocking Widget will need to be enabled for the Till
  • To access Clocking Functions for an individual Operator, the applicable Operator Privileges   will need to be enabled 
    • Operator Maintenance 'Till Privileges' Tab
      • General: "Operate Tills" Flag

Clocking On
  • Once Bepoz is configured for Clocking and the prerequisites have been met, then the SmartPOS login screen will consist of a Clocking Icon in the Widget panel as shown below:
