Using the Employee Time Clock
The Time Clock feature allows employees to quickly clock in and out of their shifts directly from KC Cloud. By tracking employee work hours within Kennel Connection, you can maintain accurate time records and simplify payroll management.
Clocking In or Out
- From the left-hand navigation menu, click User Tools.
- Select Time Clock.
- Choose the employee's name from the list.
- Click Clock In or Clock Out.
The current date and time are displayed on the Time Clock screen, allowing employees to verify their punch before submitting it.

💡 QUICK TIP: Employees only need to select their name and choose whether they're clocking in or out. The system records the current date and time automatically.
Requiring Employee Login
To prevent employees from clocking in or out on behalf of someone else, you can require each employee to enter their own username and password before using the Time Clock.
- Navigate to Setup > System Options.
- Click the Global tab.
- Enable login on time clock functions option.
- Click Save.

🚨 IMPORTANT NOTE: When this setting is enabled, each employee must enter their own Kennel Connection username and password before they can clock in or clock out. This helps prevent employees from punching in or out for one another.

Common Use Cases
- Tracking employee work hours.
- Recording employee clock-in and clock-out times.
- Preventing buddy punching by requiring employee logins.
- Maintaining accurate time records for payroll.
