Finding Workers

Search, filter, and browse your worker list

Before you start

  • Access to the TempClock manage portal
  • At least one worker in the system

As your worker list grows, you'll need quick ways to find the right person. TempClock gives you a few tools to help:

Use the search bar

At the top of the Workers page, you'll see a search bar. Type any part of a worker's name, Employee ID, or email address and the list will filter in real time as you type.

Example: Typing "sarah" will show all workers with "sarah" in their name.

Filter by status

Use the status filter buttons to show only workers with a specific status:

  • All — Shows every worker regardless of status
  • Active — Workers who can currently clock in
  • Inactive — Workers who have been deactivated
  • Pending — Workers awaiting approval

Filter by location

If you manage workers across multiple sites, use the location filter to show only workers assigned to a specific location. This is useful when you need to see who's set up at a particular site.

Tip

The search bar is the quickest way to find someone. It searches across names, Employee IDs, and email addresses all at once, so you don't need to remember which field to search.

Editing Worker Details

Update a worker's information

Worker details can change over time — maybe someone gets a new phone number, changes role, or their hourly rate is updated. Here's how to edit a worker's information:

Click the worker's name

On the Workers page, click on the worker's name to open their full profile. You'll see all their current details laid out.

Click "Edit"

Click the Edit button on their profile page. This switches the profile into edit mode where all fields become editable.

Update the fields you need to change

You can change any of the following fields:

  • Full Name — If their name was entered incorrectly or has changed
  • Email — Update their contact email
  • Phone — Update their phone number
  • Job Role — Change their role or job title
  • Hourly Rate — Update what you pay them per hour
  • Charge Rate — Update what you bill the client per hour

Save your changes

Click the Save button to apply the changes. The updated details take effect immediately.

Important

The Employee ID cannot be changed after the worker has been created. This is because it's linked to their clock-in history and face profile. If you need to change an Employee ID, you'll need to create a new worker record.

Note

Changes to the hourly rate and charge rate only affect future clock-ins. Existing timesheet records will keep the rates that were in effect at the time they were recorded.

Changing Worker Status (Active / Inactive)

Deactivate or reactivate a worker

Every worker has a status that controls whether they can clock in. You can toggle a worker between Active and Inactive directly from the Workers list.

Find the worker in the list

Go to the Workers page and find the worker whose status you want to change. You can use the search bar or filters to locate them quickly.

Click the status toggle

On the right side of each worker's row, you'll see a toggle switch. When it's green, the worker is Active. Click the toggle to switch them to Inactive, or click it again to reactivate them.

Active

What does Inactive mean?

When a worker is set to Inactive:

They cannot clock in at the kiosk — the system will not recognise them or accept their PIN
They still appear in historical reports — all their past timesheets and clock-in records are preserved
They can be reactivated at any time by toggling them back to Active
Their face profile and PIN are kept on file — they don't need to re-register when reactivated
Good to know

Use Inactive for workers who have finished a temporary placement, gone on extended leave, or moved to a different client. Don't delete workers unless you're sure you'll never need their historical data.

Important

When you deactivate a worker, it happens immediately. If they're currently on shift (clocked in but not yet clocked out), you may want to wait until they've clocked out for the day before changing their status.

Changing a Worker's Location Assignment

Move a worker to a different site

If a worker is moving to a different client site, you'll need to update their location assignment so they appear on the correct kiosk.

Open the worker's profile

Click the worker's name on the Workers page to view their profile.

Click "Edit"

Click the Edit button to enter edit mode.

Change the Location dropdown

Find the Location field and select the new location from the dropdown. This should be the client site where the worker will be based going forward.

Save the changes

Click Save. The worker will now appear on the kiosk at their new location and will no longer be listed on the kiosk at their old location.

Note

If a worker splits their time between two locations, you'll need to assign them to their primary location. They can only be assigned to one location at a time. Speak to your TempClock account manager if you need multi-location support.

Viewing a Worker's Timesheet History

See all past clock-ins for a specific worker

You can view the full timesheet history for any worker directly from their profile. This is useful for checking attendance, reviewing hours, or resolving disputes.

Open the worker's profile

Click the worker's name on the Workers page.

View their timesheet section

On the worker's profile page, scroll down to the Timesheet History section. This shows a list of their recent clock-in and clock-out records, including:

  • Date and day of the week
  • Clock-in time
  • Clock-out time
  • Total hours worked
  • Whether they used facial recognition or PIN

Filter by date range

Use the date range picker to narrow down the records to a specific week, month, or custom period. This is helpful when you need to check a particular pay period or investigate a specific date.
