Overview: Administrators can enable the Time Entry (Duration) option from the Buddy Punch website. This feature enables employees or salaried workers to enter the total number of hours worked in a day, eliminating the need to punch in and out.
Common Use Cases: This feature is commonly used for tracking the work hours of salaried employees. It's also used when employees only need to track the amount of time spent on a particular project or task as opposed to the hours worked.

1. Start by navigating to the Settings --> Time Entry Options page:
2. On the Time Entry Options page, you can either set an employee up for:

Punches & Time Entry: This option enables employees to choose between entering their total hours worked or punching in and out in real-time:
3. If you plan on using the Time Entry Only (duration) option, it's recommended to update your Default Time Entry Mode to match, as new workers will automatically take on this selection:
4. Click Save once done.
