# Clock in and clock out records on a job

Technicians clock in and out while working a visit, and the job page collects those records on the Clock In / Clock Out tab. Each entry pairs a clock-in with its matching clock-out and shows the scheduled visit start time, the clock in and clock out times, the time spent, and which technician it belongs to.

Records are organized per technician, so if more than one person worked the job you see each person's sessions separately, and a technician who clocked in and out several times will have a row for each session.

If someone has clocked in but has not yet clocked out, that session shows as Ongoing with no duration yet. The Visits card on the same page also surfaces a clocked-in total for each visit and an overall total across the job, drawn from these same records, so you can see at a glance how much time has been logged.

These entries reflect what technicians recorded in the field and are shown here for review; they are not edited from this tab.

If your business has Time cards turned on, this same clocked time also lands on the technician's timecard, valued at their cost rate on the Job Costing card. See [Review, approve, or send back timecards](/field-operations/timecards/review-approve-or-send-back-timecards.md).

> **Where to find it:** Open a job from Scheduling > Jobs; select the Clock In / Clock Out tab in the tabbed panel

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.withessential.com/customers-and-work/jobs/clock-in-and-clock-out-records-on-a-job.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
