Frequently asked questions

How do I set up and the time clock system?

Setting up the time clock system is quick and easy. Simply download the People Portal app on any internet-connected device such as a mobile phone or tablet to get started.

For desktop users, log in to your Breathe account and clock in to shifts directly from the employee dashboard. The setup takes just a few minutes, and you can have your team clocking in and out right away.

Managers can also access and manage the system remotely from anywhere using the app or web interface.
Can I control when employees are allowed to clock in?

Absolutely. You can set how early your team can clock in before shifts and define flexibility for lateness, ensuring clock-ins are controlled and accurate.
What is buddy punching?

Buddy punching is when one employee clocks in or out on behalf of another - basically, punching the clock for a teammate who isn’t actually there.

It might seem like a small shortcut, but it can lead to inaccurate attendance data and payroll headaches. At Breathe, we’re all about making time tracking easy and trustworthy, so our Timeclock tool includes security features to help prevent buddy clocking and keep everything running smoothly for you and your team.
What security features do you have to prevent buddy punching?

At Breathe, we understand how important it is to maintain accurate attendance data and eliminate buddy punching – when one employee clocks in or out for another. That’s why our Timeclock tool includes built-in security measures designed to keep your team’s clocking honest and hassle-free.

Our system requires each team member to clock in and out using their unique login credentials through the People Portal app or a secure tablet setup. This personalised access helps ensure that only the right person can record their own hours. Plus, you can set how early your team can clock in before shifts start and control flexibility for lateness, adding another layer of control.

By combining these features, Breathe’s Timeclock helps you prevent time theft and buddy punching, so you can trust that your employee timesheets are accurate and your payroll runs smoothly - giving you more time to focus on what really matters.
