TideOps

Read full description

TideOps is the staff app for businesses that run on RentalTide. Your schedule, your time clock and your hours, in your pocket, built for dock hands, guides and front desk crews who are rarely at a desk. CLOCK IN IN ONE TAP • See your next shift the moment you open the app, with its role, location and notes • Clock in as the role you are working; TideOps picks the one your shift is for • Switch roles mid-shift without clocking out, so dock time and guide time are paid correctly • Take a break, mark work off site (a boat tow, a pickup) and clock out • Declare your cash tips at clock-out so they count in the tip pool YOUR SCHEDULE • Your week at a glance, showing only the days you work • Tour shifts show the trip, the call time and when it departs • Confirm or decline a trip you have been put on, straight from the notification • Ask for open shifts that match your roles SWAPS AND TIME OFF • Offer a shift to anyone who can work it, or to one teammate • Pick one of your shifts to give back when someone wants to swap • Ask for time off across a range of days and see which shifts it touches • Set the hours you can usually work each day YOUR HOURS • Regular, overtime and double time for the current pay period, worked out by your company's rules • Every punch with its role, breaks and declared tips • Know whether the pay period is still open or approved FOR MANAGERS • One list for everything waiting on you: time off, swaps and open-shift requests • See who is on the clock right now, who is on break and who is late • Clock a teammate in or out, and check the team schedule for any week Works in light and dark mode. TideOps needs an account from your employer. Ask your manager for your company code and PIN. Location: when your company turns on location checks, TideOps uses your location to confirm you are on site when you clock in, and in the background while you are clocked in so you are clocked out if you leave the work area. TideOps does not track you when you are off the clock. Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life.
