Job costing
Employees record the job when they clock in. Clockspot applies each pay rate to those hours, then shows the straight-time wages and the extra overtime pay behind every job before payroll.
Pay rates
Marcus BrownHourly$28.00
Aaliyah RobinsonHourly$26.00Rates live on the Employee Pay page with the rest of each employee’s pay setup, and Clockspot prices their hours from there.
Give a job its own hourly rate and it replaces the employee rate for hours on that job. Leave it blank and everyone keeps their own rate.

The row holds the time worked, the straight-time wages, the overtime pay added to it, and the total those three come to.

Some cost totals are blank because payroll facts are missing.
Aug 3 to Aug 9, 2026
When an employee or a job has no rate set, Clockspot marks the row for review and leaves the cost blank rather than showing a number you cannot rely on.
Overtime across several jobs
When an employee goes into overtime in a week spent on several jobs, Clockspot divides the extra pay across those jobs in proportion to what each one already paid them, so one job does not absorb a premium the others created. You read the report a whole workweek at a time, which is what makes that division exact.

Common questions
Labor Cost by Job shows the wages your recorded time supports: straight-time pay plus the overtime pay allocated to each job. It does not add payroll taxes, benefits, workers’ compensation, materials, equipment, expenses, or any other overhead, and Clockspot does not run payroll.
Employees pick a job when they clock in, from their own account, a shared tablet, or by entering a job code on the phone clock. You can require a job so no hour arrives without one, and any hour that still does gets its own row in the report rather than disappearing from the totals.
See how job selection worksYes. Turn off Paid job and hours on it are still recorded and still appear in the report as unpaid time, but they add no wages and do not count toward overtime. Unpaid training or travel stays visible without inflating a customer assignment’s labor cost.
No. Clockspot covers employee time and what that time cost in wages. It does not handle materials, estimates, budgets, customer billing, revenue, profitability, or an accounting ledger.
Set your pay rates, let employees pick a job at the clock, and read the wages behind every job when the workweek is done.
