How do I clock in, take breaks, and clock out with a supervisor signature?
Step-by-step instructions for clinical staff to accurately record shift hours, track meal breaks, and obtain facility supervisor sign-off.
What You Need Before Starting
- Clinician must be logged into their YourMedSoft account on desktop or mobile device.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Start Shift (Clock In)
Navigate to Time Tracking in the sidebar. In the "Clock In / Out" widget, tap the green "Clock In" button. A live timer begins tracking your shift duration immediately.
Clinician mobile-ready time tracking panel with live timer and break controls.
Recording a Meal or Rest Break
When stepping away for lunch or break, click "Break". The timer shifts to an amber "On Break" status. When returning, tap "End Break" to resume shift tracking and log break duration.
Ending Shift (Clock Out)
At the end of your shift, click the red "Clock Out" button. This triggers the digital supervisor sign-off window.
Facility Supervisor E-Signature
Present the screen to the on-duty Charge Nurse or Facility Supervisor. The supervisor signs directly on the touch pad, types their printed name, and clicks "Confirm Sign-Off".
Reviewing Computed Hours
Your shift duration, regular hours (up to 8 hours), overtime hours, and break deductions are automatically calculated and submitted for administrative approval.
Pro-Tips & Best Practices
- If you refresh your browser or close the app while clocked in, your session automatically restores seamlessly when you reopen the page.
- Always ensure the supervisor types their full name above their digital signature for billing compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions & Troubleshooting
What if the supervisor is unavailable to sign when I leave?
You can complete your clock-out. The timesheet will be marked as "Pending Review", and an agency coordinator can manually verify the hours with the facility.
