Viewing Time Punches from the Schedule

When viewing a published shift in the Schedule, you may see a Time Punch tab. This tab shows whether there’s a time punch associated with that shift—helping you more easily track and manage your team’s hours.

Note: This feature is currently available to early access users only. If you don’t see the Time Punch tab yet, hang tight—it may be coming soon!


⚠️ Prerequisites

The Time Punch tab will appear if:

  • Your account is part of the early access group, and
  • You are an Admin or Manager/Assistant Manager user with both of the following permissions:
    • Can manage schedules
    • Can manage time punches

How It Works

  1. From the 7shifts web app, go to the Schedule.
  2. Click on a past, published shift.
  3. Open the Time Punch tab.

What you see will depend on your account setup and activity:

✅ If a time punch exists

You’ll see the punch details, including breaks and tips if they’re enabled.

⚠️ Note: Punches on the schedule are view-only. To make changes, head to the Time Clocking page.

🚫 If no punch exists

You’ll see a “No time punch found” message.

⚠️ Note: There is no direct link to add a punch. You’ll need to navigate to the Time Clocking page to enter one manually.

🔌 If your location hasn’t connected labor data

You’ll see a Connect Labor Data prompt to help you set up time tracking via POS integration or 7punches.

Additional Notes

  • Breaks and declared tips will appear in the tab if they exist and the features are enabled.
  • Labor exceptions (e.g. missed breaks, overtime alerts) are not shown in the Time Punch tab at this time.
  • If a shift was created after a punch was logged (like for a last-minute call-in), you’ll see “No punch found.”

    Tip: Edit the existing time punch after publishing the shift to link them together.
  • The Time Off  in the shift modal tab only appears when creating a shift. Once the shift is published, it’s replaced by the Time Punch tab.
