Sparto how-to

How-to · Setting up

Turn on the time clock, correct hours and export them

Staff clock in with their PIN. Choose the breaks, fix a missed punch with a reason, and export the hours for payroll.

Staff clock in and out with their PIN, at the PIN pad or after they sign in. Sparto keeps the hours; it does not run payroll. Export them for your payroll service.

Turn it on

Open Setup and tap Time clock. Tick Staff clock in and out here, then choose the breaks:

  • Clock in and out only: no break button.
  • Unpaid breaks: one break button, unpaid.
  • Paid and unpaid breaks: staff pick which.

Tap Save. Only the owner, signed in with a password, can change this.

Read the hours

Open Business, then Hours. Pick the days with From and To. Each person has their shifts, their breaks and their total. A shift with a missing punch shows no hours until it is corrected, so nothing is guessed.

Correct a punch

Tap Correct on the shift, choose the punch, and type the right Date and Time on the 24-hour clock. To take a punch away, tick Remove this punch. For somebody who forgot to clock out, choose the missing clock out. Say Why, and save.

The old punch is kept, and the correction shows in Activity with who made it and why. A manager or the owner corrects hours, signed in with a password.

Export for payroll

Tap Export CSV. One row per shift: the person, the business day, clock in, clock out, paid and unpaid break minutes, and hours worked, with a note where a shift still needs correcting.
