Whether you are a new hire, a seasoned teammate, or a manager responsible for approving requests, understanding how TimeWarp works can significantly improve your work routine. When used correctly, TimeWarp ensures your hours are logged properly, your schedule is always updated, and your corrections or leave requests are processed smoothly.

This guide is designed to give you a clear, practical, and fully updated explanation of how to use TimeWarp effectively. You will learn how to clock in, clock out, submit time edits, view your schedule, request leave, troubleshoot common issues, and avoid errors that could affect your payroll or attendance record. The goal is to help you work smarter, stay compliant, and maintain accurate timekeeping every day.

What Is TimeWarp at TaskUs?

TimeWarp is TaskUs’s official time-tracking and scheduling platform. It is used by employees and managers to clock in, clock out, log breaks, manage attendance, review schedules, submit corrections, process leaves, and track overall adherence. It replaces manual timecards and helps maintain accurate, consistent, and fair timekeeping across all teams and shifts.

TimeWarp is synced with payroll and workforce management systems, which makes it extremely important for employees to use correctly. Every minute you log — or forget to log — is recorded and can affect your attendance score, adherence, and salary. TimeWarp also creates a transparent digital record for audits, dispute resolution, and client reporting.

Why TimeWarp Is Important for Employees

1. Ensures Accurate Salary and Attendance

Your pay depends on your recorded hours. When you clock in properly and submit corrections when needed, you avoid missed hours or deductions.

2. Protects You from Timekeeping Errors

Technical issues, forgotten punches, or schedule changes happen. TimeWarp allows you to review your timecard and request edits before payroll finalization.

3. Provides a Clear View of Your Schedule

You can see your shift for the day, week, or month. This reduces confusion and helps with planning personal commitments.

4. Makes Leave and Shift Changes Easy

Instead of messaging supervisors, employees can submit official requests through TimeWarp, ensuring proper tracking and approval.

5. Builds Transparency and Accountability

Every action — whether logging time or requesting edits — is recorded. This helps both employees and managers maintain a fair and consistent process.

How to Log In and Set Up TimeWarp

1. Receive Your Credentials

During onboarding, TaskUs provides your official login credentials. These are required to access TimeWarp and other internal platforms.

2. Use the Correct Browser and Device

TimeWarp works best on updated, secure browsers. Remote roles may require a verified device or simple tracking software.

3. Confirm Timezone and Shift Settings

Once logged in, verify that your timezone, schedule, and personal information are displayed correctly. An incorrect timezone can cause late or early clock-in records.

4. Bookmark the Portal for Daily Use

Avoid delays by ensuring you always have fast access to TimeWarp.

How to Use TimeWarp Daily

Below is a complete day-in-the-life walkthrough for any TaskUs employee using TimeWarp.

1. Before Shift – Pre-Shift Routine

Open TimeWarp 5–10 minutes before your shift.
Check your shift schedule, queue assignment, or training block for the day.
Make sure your internet and device are stable.
If your program uses authentication, confirm that it’s active.

This simple routine prevents late punches and last-minute issues.

2. Clocking In

At the start of your shift, click Clock In.
TimeWarp will display:

Your exact clock-in time
Shift start time
Status indicators such as “On Shift”

If there is a delay or loading issue, refresh the page or try a different browser.

3. Logging Breaks

Some campaigns require you to log breaks manually. Breaks may include:

Lunch
Short breaks
Bio breaks
“Away from desk” activities

Always press Start Break and End Break on time. Failure to do so may trigger “idle time” or “out-of-adherence” flags.

4. Ending Your Shift – Clocking Out

At shift end:

Press Clock Out
Double check that your timecard reflects the correct duration
Review breaks to ensure they match what you took

Before closing TimeWarp, confirm there are no mismatched logs.

How to Request Time Corrections (Edits)

If you forget to clock in/out or if your device glitches, you can submit a time correction request.

You will need to provide:

Correct time in/out
Reason for the correction
Optional screenshot or explanation if required
Supervisor approval

Submitting corrections as soon as the error occurs increases the chance of approval and prevents payroll delays.

How to View Your Schedule

The Schedule tab shows:

Today’s shift
Weekly schedule
Upcoming rest days
Holiday schedules
Shift changes or reassignments

Always check it daily, as schedules may change depending on business needs.

How to Request Leave or Shift Swaps

Many teams use TimeWarp to manage:

PTO requests
Emergency leave
Sick leave
Shift swaps
Schedule adjustments

Submit your request through the appropriate tab. Your supervisor will approve or reject it, and TimeWarp will update your schedule automatically.

Common TimeWarp Problems and How to Fix Them

1. System Not Loading

Clear browser cache

2. Failed Clock-In or Clock-Out

Check internet connection
If still failing, submit a correction afterward

3. Incorrect Schedule

4. Idle Time Incorrectly Detected

If you were working during the idle period, add a note or submit a correction
Ensure you stay active in system tools

Maintain honest and accurate records

Best Practices for Using TimeWarp Efficiently

Log in early every day
Clock in and clock out exactly on time
Log breaks immediately
Review your timecard daily or weekly
Submit corrections the moment you notice an error
Communicate proactively with your supervisor
Use only official TimeWarp channels for attendance, not chat or messages

Building these habits protects your payroll accuracy and attendance score.

What TimeWarp Is NOT

It is not a public app
It is not optional for attendance
It is not a replacement for communication with your supervisor when needed
It is not the same for all campaigns (some features vary)

TimeWarp’s purpose is to streamline timekeeping, not replace supervisors or HR systems entirely.
