Day Off lets you control, at the company level, how every employee logs their working hours. You can choose between a simple Clock In/Clock Out system or a more detailed Task Tracker mode. Here is how to change it as an admin.

Clock In/Out vs. Task Tracker Mode

Both options record working hours, but they suit different teams. Clock In/Clock Out is simple and fast, with no task details required. It works well when you mainly need to know when people start and finish work.

In contrast, Task Tracker lets employees log time against specific tasks and projects. This is useful when you want to see where time goes, for example across client work. For a deeper comparison, read the difference between the two time logging modes. You can also learn about the classic time clock idea behind clocking in and out.

Step 1: Open Time tracker configuration

In the left-hand menu, expand “Settings & integrations” and click “Settings.” Then open the “Time tracker configuration” tab at the top of the page.

Step 2: Select “General”

On the Time tracker configuration tab you will see two cards: General and Clients. Click on the “General” card, described as the place to “choose how your team logs work hours with Clock in / Clock out or Task tracker mode.”

Step 3: Choose Clock In/Out or Task Tracker Mode

You’ll land on the “Set up Time tracking” screen, which presents two options side by side: “Clock in / Clock out,” described as simple and fast with no task details required, and “Task tracker,” which lets employees log time against specific tasks and projects. The option currently active for your company will show a checkmark in the top-right corner of its card.

Step 4: Confirm the change

Click on the card for the mode you want to switch to, then click “Save.” A message confirms “Time tracker updated successfully.”

Step 5: Note the scope

This setting applies to all members of your company, so the change is applied company-wide the moment you save it. No per-employee configuration is needed.

Once saved, the new mode takes effect for the whole organization immediately, though you can always return to this same screen later to switch back.
