Heads up: the sandbox resets once daily at 03:00 (America/Toronto, EDT) — nothing you do here is saved. Next reset: Sep 23, 2026 at 3:00 AM EDT.

After you’re in

As an employee — clock in, request time off, check My pending, log mileage (including live GPS), and open Pay Stubs.
As an administrator — Approval Center, Live map, Team schedules, payroll, and Settings (including Clock rules).
Switch roles anytime — a switcher in the top menu flips between the admin and employee views, no second login needed.
