The BreakPoint wearable turns clock-in from a chore into a single tap. When a worker arrives at their shift, they tap their device at the clock-in zone near the facility entrance. The wearable confirms the event instantly with a haptic buzz and an LED flash, and the Console marks the worker as clocked in within seconds. Clock-out works the same way at shift end. Because every tap is validated against a configured clock-in zone, location-based fraud is prevented by design — the system only accepts taps made within the designated entry area.

​
The Worker Experience

Workers do not need to open an app or remember a PIN. The entire clock-in sequence takes under three seconds:
  1. Walk into the clock-in zone near the facility entrance.
  2. Tap the wearable device face once with two fingers.
  3. Feel a short haptic buzz and see a green LED flash — the tap is confirmed.
  4. The Console immediately reflects “Clocked In” on the live attendance board.
Clock-out follows the same gesture at shift end. The wearable produces a different feedback pattern (see the table below) so workers always know which event was recorded.

Configuring Clock-In Zones

A clock-in zone is a defined geographic boundary — typically placed at a facility entrance — that authorizes tap events made within it. Workers who tap outside any valid zone trigger an error event instead of a confirmed clock-in, and the supervisor receives an alert.
1

Open Zone Management

In the BreakPoint Console, navigate to Settings → Zones. Click Create Zone to open the zone editor.
2

Draw the Zone Boundary

Use the map editor to draw the zone perimeter. For most entrance configurations, a radius of 10–20 meters around the entry point is sufficient. Adjust for wide loading docks or multi-door entrances.
3

Set the Zone Type

In the Zone Type dropdown, select Clock-In Zone. This designates the area as valid for clock-in and clock-out tap events.
4

Name and Assign the Zone

Give the zone a descriptive name (for example, “Main Entrance” or “Dock B Entry”). Assign it to the relevant facility or department so it appears correctly on the workforce map.
5

Link to Shifts

Under Shift Assignments, select the shifts that should recognize this zone. Workers on unassigned shifts will not receive clock-in confirmation from this zone.
6

Save and Test

Click Save Zone. Walk a test device through the boundary and confirm the Console logs a valid tap event. Adjust the boundary if the edge cases are too tight or too loose.
Place clock-in zones at every active facility entrance — not just the main door. Workers using side entrances or dock access points need a valid zone nearby or they will generate false rejection alerts on every shift.

​
What Happens When a Worker Taps Outside a Zone

If a worker taps their wearable outside the boundary of any configured clock-in zone, the following sequence occurs:
  • The wearable produces a red LED flash and three rapid haptic buzzes, indicating a rejected tap.
  • The Console logs an Out-of-Zone Tap event under the worker’s attendance record.
  • The worker’s assigned supervisor receives an alert in the Console and, if enabled, a push notification.
  • The worker’s status does not change — they remain in their previous state (for example, “Not Yet Arrived”) until a valid tap is recorded.
The worker should move inside the zone boundary and tap again. If the zone boundary appears to be causing legitimate taps to fail — for example, workers crowding near the entrance — review the zone radius in Settings → Zones and widen it as needed.

​
Viewing the Live Attendance Board

The Console’s Attendance Board gives supervisors a real-time snapshot of the entire shift workforce. To open it, navigate to TimeKeeper → Attendance Board. The board shows each scheduled worker in one of four states: Click any worker’s row to open their detailed shift timeline, including all tap events, zone transitions, and any alerts generated during the shift.

​
Manual Time Entry Corrections

When a worker forgets to tap — at shift start, after a break, or at clock-out — the raw attendance record will be incomplete. Supervisors with the Attendance Manager role can correct time entries directly in the Console. To add or edit a time entry:
  1. Navigate to TimeKeeper → Attendance Board and click the affected worker’s name.
  2. On the worker’s shift timeline, click Edit Time Entry next to the gap or incorrect timestamp.
  3. Enter the correct clock-in, clock-out, or break time in the time picker.
  4. In the Reason field, enter a clear explanation for the correction (for example, “Worker reported wearable battery was dead at shift start — verified with locker room log”).
  5. Click Save Correction. The change is applied to the attendance record and flagged with an edit indicator.
Every manual correction is permanently recorded in the audit log with the correcting supervisor’s name, timestamp, and reason note. This trail is visible in TimeKeeper → Audit Log and is included in exported attendance reports.

​
Exporting Attendance Data

To export attendance records for payroll processing:
  1. Navigate to TimeKeeper → Reports → Attendance Export.
  2. Select the date range, department(s), and shift(s) you want to include.
  3. Choose your export format — CSV for direct payroll platform import or PDF for printed records.
  4. Click Export. The file downloads immediately or is sent to your registered email for large date ranges.
The export includes each worker’s name, employee ID, shift date, clock-in time, clock-out time, total hours worked, break durations, overtime hours flagged, and any manual correction indicators.
