# Clock station

![Clock station](/files/help/clock-station.mp4 "The shared clock stays on the desk until someone confirms.")

Keep Clock station open on a shared screen. The code on that page changes on its own. Scanning or opening the page does not clock anyone in until they confirm.

1. Open **Clock station** and leave that page on the desk screen.
2. The person scans the code that is on the screen now.
3. On Clock in or out, they enter the email on their staff profile and choose **Email me to confirm**. If texts are on, they can choose **Use a text instead**, enter the mobile number on their profile, and choose **Text me to confirm**.
4. They open the confirmation and choose **Check in** or **Check out**. Opening that page does not record the punch.

## What you should see

The desk chip counts down, such as New code in, then Refreshing. A photo of an old code will not work.

After they send the confirmation, the scan page tells them to check email and open the confirmation link, or to check the phone and reply YES.

After they confirm, the page says You are clocked in or You are clocked out. If they are already checked in, the next confirm checks them out, including after midnight.

## If something looks wrong

The scan page says the code expired. Scan the code that is on the desk now.

Do not send a confirmation unless the person is at the desk and asked to clock in or out.

People who are already signed in can also use **Check in** and **Check out** on the [employee portal home](/hrms/attendance/employee-checkin).
