# Time Punches

> Track the hours worked, for better control of wages as part of Time Tracking.

Time punches are used to track the hours workers have completed, which are essential for calculating wages. **Workers:**

* Can **submit**, **view**, **edit**, and **delete** time punches through the Worker Calendar on both desktop and mobile browsers, as well as the Mobile App.

* **Note:** The ability for workers to manage time punches can be enabled or disabled based on your company settings. For details, refer to **Time Punch Settings**.

**Reviewers and Time Tracking Managers:**

* Can **submit** or **change** time punches on the day of the event and the following day using the Mobile App.

**Admins:**

* Can **add**, **edit**, or **delete** time punches using desktop, mobile browser, or the Mobile App.

## **Submitting Time Punches**

**Workers** can submit time punches in two locations:

1. **Worker Calendar**

2. Accessible via desktop or mobile browser.

3. After logging in, workers are directed to their homepage where they can click **Go to Calendar** to access their calendar.

If you have enabled the Pre-Punch Questionnaire, the worker will be prompted to answer the questions and then tap **Submit** at the bottom of the page.  If a selfie is required, the worker will need to upload a photo before they can clock in. To clock out, the worker simply taps **Submit Punch Out** when they start their break or finish their shift.

Similar to punching in, if required, the worker will need to submit a picture. At the end of the shift, workers can sign off on their time punches by tapping **Sign Hours**. The system will prompt them to confirm the punch - additional time punches cannot be added after signing. Workers can add optional notes. If Custom Legal Acknowledgment is used, the worker must check the acknowledgment box before tapping **Next**.
