# Automatic Clock Out Rules

By default, TimeKeeper will automatically clock out any employees who have been clocked in for 24 hours. Their clock out time will be listed as 1 minute after their clock in time, and a discrepancy will be raised against this employees timesheet for you to investigate.

If you'd like to, you can set up auto clock out rules which kick in sooner by heading to Account > Settings.

###### Auto clock out at expected end time

If this option is selected, the employee will be auto clocked out 6 hours after their scheduled end time if they've forgotten, and their clock out time will be listed as their scheduled end time.

###### Auto clock out at last clock in time

If this option is selected, the employee will be auto clocked out 6 hours after their scheduled end time if they've forgotten, and their clock out time will be listed as 1 minute after they clocked in. This means no hours will be added to their timesheet.
