Overview
The MyPay Timer feature offers the ability to track the time by turning on/off the timer at the beginning/end of each shift. If you want to know how to use The Timer, go to Timer Feature.
The Timer feature has 2 functions that ensure that the user does not forget to turn off the timer. The first function notifies the user when the set time limit has elapsed that the timer is still running. The second function automatically terminates the running timer after the set time limit has elapsed and also notifies the user via email.
