Set up a time clock kiosk

Turn on kiosk clock-in, choose who can use it and how they sign in, and link a shared device.

Add-on feature: Time & Attendance (clocking in, timesheets and time tracking) is a Veras add-on we're rolling out to a small group. Interested? Email [email protected] or chat with us, and we'll walk you through it.

Turn on kiosks

  1. Click Settings. If the top says Employer Settings, switch to Facility Settings.

  2. Under Time & Pay, click Time Tracking.

  3. Under Clock in methods, turn on Kiosks, then click Configure.

Choose who can use it

  1. Under Kiosk clock-in access, pick All employees or Selected employees.

  2. All employees: check PIN, Facial Recognition, or Fingerprint.

  3. Selected employees: click Manage Employees and choose people.

  4. Optional: turn on Show announcement to show a message on the kiosk.

Activate the device

  1. Under Kiosks, click Add Kiosk.

  2. Type a Kiosk name, like Front Desk, and click Next.

  3. On the kiosk device, open kiosk.veras.com. It shows a 6-digit code.

  4. Type the code into Veras on your computer. Click Activate Kiosk.

  5. On the device, tap Start Using Kiosk. Bookmark the page.

Set up staff PINs

  1. On the kiosk, tap Settings and log in as an admin.

  2. Search for the person, turn on PIN, and enter their new PIN.

Good to know: Activate while online. After that, staff can clock in offline. Don't use private or incognito browsing, or the kiosk unlinks when closed.

Common questions

What device can I use?

Any tablet, computer, or phone with a web browser. It works best on screens 1024 × 768 or larger.

I don't see Time Tracking in Settings. Why?

Your community needs time tracking, and your role needs Manage time and attendance settings.

Still stuck?

Email [email protected], or chat with us: in the web app click Support; in the phone app tap Contact Us. Include the community and the kiosk name.
