# How to Clock In/Out
How staff clock in and out of SimpleSpa from the dashboard.
This page explains how staff clock in and out of SimpleSpa using their own credentials from the dashboard.
## Before you start
The staff member must first be created and then given user-level access. To grant access, turn on the **Can Login** option for the staff member. See [Staff Login](/simplespa-documentation/daily-operations/staff/staff-login.md).
## Clocking in and out

### Clock out
After clocking in, a red clock out button appears so you can quickly clock out at the end of your shift.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Clock back in (optional)
To clock back in, for example after a break during the day, open the prompt again. A grey button lets you add a new clock in entry.

If required, Administrator and Manager level users can override the hours staff recorded. They do this in the staff settings on the **Staff** page. See [Clock In/Out Tab](/simplespa-documentation/daily-operations/staff/clock-in-out-tab.md).
