- [Taking breaks](https://www.mays.app/help/time-clock/taking-breaks) — Start and end breaks in the Mays app, pick the right break, see when one is due, and answer the break question when you clock out. (For: Employees · On: iOS, Android)

(For: Managers, Admins, Employees · On: Web, iOS, Android)
- [Clocking in with NFC tags](https://www.mays.app/help/time-clock/nfc-tag-clock-in) — Put NFC stickers at your store so staff clock in by tapping their phone on one — set them up on the web, tap to punch on iPhone or Android, and troubleshoot.

- [Timesheets and pay periods](https://www.mays.app/help/time-clock/timesheets-and-pay-periods) — Review every punch in a pay period on the Time Clock page — fix, add or delete punches, approve them, check warnings and hours, then close the period for payroll. (For: Managers, Admins · On: Web)
- [Tip declarations](https://www.mays.app/help/time-clock/tip-declarations) — In Wisconsin, each tipped employee confirms the tips Mays recorded for them at the end of every pay period, in the Mays app. Managers see who hasn't confirmed, send a reminder, or enter a declaration for someone with a note.

- [Grace periods, rounding and auto-approval](https://www.mays.app/help/time-clock/time-clock-rules) — Set a location's grace period, rounding, auto-approval, early clock-in and no-shift rules, and have forgotten punches closed automatically at a set time. (For: Admins, Managers · On: Web)
- [Punch verification and geofencing](https://www.mays.app/help/time-clock/punch-verification-and-geofence) — Decide whether staff can clock in from their own phone, only after tapping an NFC tag, or only on the kiosk — and flag or block punches made away from the store.
