- Built for employee payroll time
- Seasonal staff can use a browser
- Corrections keep their history
Is Clockspot for employee time or billable client time?
Clockspot is for the hours employees work for payroll. Keep client timers, billing rates, invoices, utilization, tax work, and practice management in the systems you use for those jobs.
Can we add seasonal preparers for tax season?
Yes. Add seasonal employees alongside year-round staff, assign the work categories they should see, and keep their time in the same review process.
How can employees clock in?
Employees can use a browser on a phone or computer, share a kiosk, or use phone clocking. The firm can choose the method that fits each office or employee group.
Can managers see overtime before the pay period closes?
Yes. Current workweek totals and overtime reports show recorded regular and overtime hours using the firm’s configured rules, so managers can review the record before payroll.
What happens when someone misses a punch?
The employee can request a correction with a reason. A manager reviews the original time and the requested change, then approves or rejects it while preserving the history.
Does Clockspot process payroll?
No. Clockspot creates reviewed employee-time reports and configured export files for your payroll process. It does not calculate taxes, move money, file returns, or replace your payroll provider.
