Clock-in options

Give paid staff a clear way to start the workday.

Let office and service staff clock in from a browser.

The employee chooses a ministry or event job before clocking in, so the work area stays with the time entry.

Keep a phone-call option for staff away from a screen.

A personal PIN, the calling number, and an optional voice check help identify the employee and preserve the clock event.

Share one PIN clock at the church.

Choose which paid employees can use the kiosk. Optional photos attach identity evidence without blocking the time entry if the camera fails.

One service week

Keep weekday work and weekend services on one employee schedule.

Publish assigned or open paid shifts with the right job and note. Staff can confirm, request open work, or report that they can’t work before the service. Clockspot does not plan worship, manage events, or schedule volunteers.

Childcare staff qualifications

Check background and CPR qualifications before scheduling nursery staff.

Record the qualifications your church accepts, then require them for childcare work, a ministry Job, or a campus Work Site. Clockspot checks each employee record for the shift date.

Childcare background checkPediatric CPR and first aid
  • Use rules that match the work

    Apply each requirement to a Work Type, Job, or Work Site. Clockspot combines every rule that matches the shift.

  • Catch missing or expired records early

    Candidate checks use the shift date, so a record that expires before the work begins does not look current.

  • Keep each scheduling decision with the shift

    Shift history records whether each requirement was satisfied or overridden, along with the accepted record or manager reason.

A focused system boundary

Track paid staff time beside the systems that run the church.

Clockspot keeps the paid employee work record clear. Volunteer, member, worship, giving, accounting, and clergy-payroll systems keep doing their own jobs.

Common questions

See whether Clockspot fits your church’s staff timekeeping.

  • Built for paid employee time records
  • Keeps ministry and event jobs with hours
  • Makes corrections reviewable
Can a church track paid staff hours by ministry or event?

Yes. Set up Weekend Services, Nursery, Facilities, Production, Church Office, or other work areas as Clockspot jobs. The selected job stays with the time entry and appears in Job Hours. A Clockspot job is one flat time category, not a ministry-management, event, fund, budget, or accounting record.

Can paid employees switch jobs during one workday?

Yes. An employee can choose a job when clocking in and switch jobs while still clocked in. Each resulting time segment keeps its selected job for manager review and reporting.

Can Clockspot manage church volunteers or member attendance?

No. Clockspot is built for employee timekeeping. It does not provide volunteer profiles, opportunity signup, service-hour verification, congregation attendance, member records, child check-in, or volunteer communications. Use a church or volunteer-management system for those records.

Does Clockspot handle clergy payroll or church accounting?

No. Clockspot records and exports employee time. It does not decide worker classification, calculate clergy tax treatment or housing allowances, process payroll, file taxes, or keep church books. The separate QuickBooks Online connection can send approved Time Activities, but QuickBooks and your advisers remain responsible for accounting and payroll.

How do reviewed church employee hours reach payroll?

Employees can request corrections with a reason. Administrators review entries and approve the pay period, then download CSV, Excel, or PDF reports, use a configured export file, or send approved Time Activities through the separate QuickBooks Online connection. Clockspot prepares employee-time records but does not process payroll or connect those records to a church-management system.
