Employee time clock for dental offices

Track dental staff hours and fix timesheet mistakes before payroll.

Hygienists, assistants, and front desk staff clock in at the office. The office manager sees weekly hours, overtime, and forgotten clock-ins before payroll.

A clearer dental workweek

Keep every workday clear from clock-in to approval.

Each employee clocks in with their own account or a personal PIN. Clockspot keeps one record of their hours through corrections and approval, so payroll starts with a reviewed workweek.

Keep clock-ins at the office, not the parking lot

Approve each office network or a GPS area around the building, then warn about or block clock-ins from anywhere else.

See longer days before they become payroll surprises

Current regular and overtime totals make early prep, late patients, and longer days easier to spot.

Resolve timesheet mistakes with the reason attached

Employees request the change, managers review it, and the decision stays with the record.

At office close

Work Checklists keep administrative opening and closing routines consistent.

Clockspot opens the checklist that applies when an employee clocks out from their own account. Use it for administrative routines, and keep patient and clinical details in the practice system.

  • Give the staff the same office closeout steps

  • Bring supply or facility issues into view quickly

  • See which checklists were submitted and which are still waiting

One workweek across every office

See staff hours across every dental office in one view.

Filter the workweek by employee or office, see where floating staff worked, and keep the office with the time entry before payroll review.

  • Keep the office with each time entry

    The selected office stays visible beside the employee, date, and recorded hours.

  • Review floating staff in the same workweek

    See hygienists and assistants who split time between locations without rebuilding the week.

  • Find hours without an office assignment

    Unassigned time remains visible so it can be corrected before payroll review.

Corrections that stay reviewable

Fix forgotten clock-ins before they turn into payroll questions.

Employees explain a late patient, a forgotten clock-out, or another change. Managers compare the request with the original entry and decide before the pay period closes.

  • Find open shifts and forgotten clock-outs

    See incomplete time entries before the workweek becomes a payroll question.

  • Keep the employee reason with the request

    Review the original time, requested change, and manager decision together.

  • Preserve the history after the correction

    The finished entry stays connected to the change that produced it.

Common questions

Get clear answers about dental staff time tracking.

  • Shared kiosk or browser
  • One or multiple offices
  • Corrections keep their history
Is Clockspot dental practice management software?

No. Clockspot tracks employee time for payroll review. It does not replace the software you use for patients, appointments, clinical records, treatment plans, insurance, or billing.

Why use Clockspot if our dental software includes a time clock?

Clockspot gives employee time its own focused workflow for clock-ins, current weekly totals, corrections for forgotten clock-ins, approvals, time off, and payroll reports. Your dental software can stay focused on patient and practice operations.

Can staff share one clock-in device?

Yes. Run a shared kiosk on a tablet or computer. Each employee clocks in with a personal PIN, and the kiosk can take a photo at each clock-in. Staff can also clock in from an office computer or their own phone.

Can we make sure staff clock in at the office?

Yes. Approve the office network, a browser on an office computer, or a GPS area around the building. Then choose whether a clock-in from anywhere else is allowed, recorded with a warning, or blocked. If you publish a schedule, you can also limit clock-ins to scheduled shifts. Clock-out is never blocked.

Can we track staff across multiple dental offices?

Yes. Use jobs or locations for each office, keep the selected office with the time entry, and review staff who split their workweek between locations.

Can floating staff record mileage between dental offices?

Yes. Employees can record a work trip’s date, distance, purpose, origin, and destination, and can add the office location. Managers get one reviewable history for reimbursement or business-mileage preparation, and Clockspot does not automatically track the route.

What happens when someone forgets to clock in?

The employee clocks in when they remember, then requests the right time with a reason. The manager compares the request with the recorded time and approves or rejects it. If a whole shift is missing, the manager can add it to the timesheet.

Which payroll services does Clockspot work with?

QuickBooks Online connects directly. For QuickBooks Desktop, ADP RUN, Gusto, Paychex, or SurePayroll, download approved hours as one import file. A flexible CSV covers other payroll services. You run payroll in the service you already use.
