Clock in from a phone or computer

Share one clock at the front desk
Run a kiosk on an office computer or tablet. Each employee selects their name and enters a personal PIN.
Call in when a browser is not practical
A landline or cell phone call records the employee, private PIN, workstream, and voice check.
When firm employees clock in
Team Updates give firm employees the current office instructions after clock-in.
Clockspot shows the matching update after an employee clocks in. Use it for office logistics or process changes, not client or matter-sensitive information.

Common questions
What to know before you bring Clockspot into your firm.
- Built for staff payroll time
- Works beside legal billing software
- Corrections keep their history
What kind of time does Clockspot track for law firms?
Clockspot tracks the hours employees work for payroll, including clock-ins, breaks, corrections, and approvals. Client timers, matter billing, invoices, case management, and trust accounting stay in your legal software.
How can law firm staff clock in?
Staff can use a browser on a phone or computer, share a kiosk at the office, or use phone clocking. The firm can choose the method that fits each office or employee group.
Can we cover more than one office and approved remote work?
Yes. Staff can record hours from their own account across the main office, satellite offices, courthouse work, or approved remote work. Jobs and locations give managers useful review context.
Can staff record mileage for courthouse or client trips?
Yes. Staff can record a work trip’s date, distance, purpose, origin, destination, and optional matter job or work site. The firm gets one reviewable history for its reimbursement or business-mileage process; Clockspot does not calculate reimbursement or track the route automatically.
What happens when someone misses a punch?
The employee can request a correction with a reason. A manager reviews the original record and requested change, then approves or rejects it while preserving the history.
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 does Clockspot send to payroll?
Clockspot creates reviewed employee-time reports and configured export files for your payroll process. Your payroll provider still calculates taxes, moves money, and files returns.
Bring staff hours together before the next payroll.
Invite your staff, choose how they clock in, and review one completed workweek before payroll.
