   • (Optional) Click the Sort by button to sort your supervisees by first name, last name, ID, etc. 
5. Click the checkbox in the M column to approve the shift.
   • The E column is for employee approval. This column is optional. You can have your employees approve their hours for their records, but this does not mark this shift as being approved for iPeople.
   • The O column is used if you want someone to check the hours, too. Another individual can check the hours; afterward, you can log into TimeClock Plus and give the final approval by clicking the M column. This column is also optional (Figure 1).

   • The column with the red bell is the Exceptions column. For this example, blue dots are listed in this column. If there is an exception, this blue dot will be orange.
   • Exceptions can consist of early or late clock-in, early or late clock-out, or missed in or out punch. Most exceptions have to do with scheduling, though it is possible to get exceptions while not using scheduling. As a result, this column is an indication of what will prevent the shifts from being exported for an employee.
6. If you forget to approve a time before it is exported into iPeople, the time won’t export, so you will have to than manually approve the time in both TimeCLock Plus and iPeople. As a result, confirm that the M is checked before payroll goes out.  
7. Click Apply Changes. If this button is not selected, you will see a warning asking if you want to Discard Changes or Save changes.

1. Open your TimeClock Plus dashboard.
2. Select Hours at the top of the screen.
3. In the menu that appears, select Individual Hours.
4. Select an employee from the left side of the screen where your employees are listed.

As you view the IP addresses for the employee, you will see an IP address that does not match the others when compared to the other shifts the student has worked. This will be an indication that the student has clocked in and/or out from somewhere other than on campus.
