# How do associates clock in and submit time on their phone?

## There is no clock in. Associates add shifts on their timesheet and click Save & submit, on a phone or computer.

BOSS does not use a time clock. Associates type their hours on a weekly timesheet.

1. The associate signs in and opens **Timesheets**, then the week.
2. They click **+ Add shift** and enter start and end times. **+ Add break** adds an unpaid break. **Simplified Entry** lets them type total hours per day instead.
3. They click **Save & submit** when the week is done.

**On a phone**

Most associates fill their timesheet on a phone. They sign in at the BOSS web app in the phone's browser. To get an app icon, they use the browser's **Add to Home Screen**. There is no app store app.

**Good to know**

- The week runs Sunday through Saturday. Timesheets are due Sunday at 11:59 PM Eastern.
- Expenses go on the same timesheet with **+ Add expense**.
- See [What are the timesheet views, shifts, and breaks?](https://help.backofficenow.com/what-are-the-timesheet-views?hsLang=en)
