Is there a way to disallow Duration Time entry and only allow employees to clock in and out only??

Hello there, Brenttrusselltax. Are you using QuickBooks Time or just the standard QuickBooks Online (QBO)? It’s important to note that if you are only using QuickBooks Online, there isn't currently an option to remove the duration field. Time tracking user have the flexibility to enter their hours as either a total duration or via start and end times.

The clock-in and clock-out features are exclusive to QuickBooks Time. If you’re using this, you can restrict it by unchecking the Allow team members to manage their own timesheets option. You’ll have the ability to apply this setting globally or specifically within an individual’s profile.

To do this, go to Company Settings > Time Options > Allow team members to manage their own timesheets. Then, head to My Team to open the worker’s profile and make sure that the same option is disabled under Permissions.

Once turned off, the manual duration entry feature will disappear, leaving the employee with only the Clock In and Clock Out buttons. This ensures their time is captured in real-time rather than manually entered later.
