Each day when you arrive and depart a clinical site, most programs will ask you to clock in and out. If for some reason you cannot do so, you may file a "time exception" instead. You will be automatically logged off after clicking the submit button once you clock in or out; this is intentional to protect your records on the site computer. When you change sites, remember to reset the site dropdown to the new site; otherwise, your times will be recorded for the wrong location.
Filing clock in/out records is preferred over filing time exceptions; you and your program administrators will see information related to the number of times you've chosen to clock in and out vs. filing time exceptions. It is possible that your program has enabled reporting of location using a smart device and geolocation services. See the GPS page for further information if your program allows this. Be sure you understand your own program's rules about when using a smart device is allowed and what constitutes adequate accuracy when using them.
