Call
Call the Clockspot number
One number for the whole crew, reachable from any cell phone or landline.
Phone time clock
Employees clock in with a phone call from any cell phone or landline.
Employees dial the Clockspot number, enter their phone clock ID and PIN, and say their name. The call becomes a time entry on the timesheet you review online, so employees without internet or a smartphone still clock their hours.
How it works
Employees clock in with one short call.

The recording stays on the time entry, and the clock-in is done before the employee hangs up.
What it takes
Any phone that can dial is a time clock.
At the job site
InternetNone
Cell signalNone
Phone lineWorking
Employees clock in where there is no internet or cell signal
The call runs on ordinary phone service, so employees in a basement, at a rural site, or in a building with no coverage still record real hours instead of falling back to paper.
What the crew needs
Any phone that can dial
Flip phone
Desk phone with a cord
The landline on the wall
Nothing to buy, install, or hand out
A flip phone, a desk phone with a cord, or the landline already on the wall all work. There is no app to roll out and no personal smartphone anyone has to be willing to use for work.

A call becomes an ordinary time entry. Review it, approve it, and export it to payroll with the rest of the week.
The number belongs to the building
Accept clock-ins only from phone numbers you approve.
A landline stays where it is installed, so a call from it could only have come from that address. List the numbers you approve and the workplace each one belongs to. Calls from those numbers become time entries with the workplace already on them. Calls from any other number are refused.

Who is calling
Know which employee made the call, even on a shared phone.
Each employee has their own phone clock ID and PIN, and every call ends with them saying their name out loud. That recording stays on the time entry, so you still know who worked the hours on a crew phone everyone shares.

Everyone works at this address
Choose a landline when everyone works at one address
The phone stays where the work is, so the call comes from the place every time, and you can accept clock-ins from that number alone.

Choose a cell phone when employees move between sites
The phone travels with the employee, so they can call in from every site of the day, and any cell phone that can dial works, smartphone or not.

Tap your name
Then enter your PIN
One screen by the door
Choose a kiosk when everyone comes through one door
A shared tablet or computer by the door lets employees pick their name and enter a PIN, which is faster than a call when there is a queue at shift change.
Live manager workflow
See a phone clock-in on the same timesheet as the rest of the week.
A call arrives as an ordinary time entry, so the same review that covers web and kiosk hours covers this one. Approve the week and export it.
No login or setup required.

Customer story
Replace manual time cards with a phone call.
“Letting employees call to clock in or out has helped us save a lot of time manually entering time cards.”

Common questions
What employees need to call in, and what the entry records.
- Any phone that can dial
- Calls can be limited to approved numbers
- Every call is a normal time entry
Do employees need a smartphone or an app?
No. Any phone that can dial will do, from a flip phone to a desk phone with a cord. Employees call the Clockspot number, enter their phone clock ID and PIN, and follow the prompts. Nothing is installed, and no internet is required at the job site.
Can I require calls to come from the job-site phone?
Yes, and it is off until you turn it on. Add the workplace number under approved phone numbers, then switch on the restriction. It covers clocking out as well as clocking in, so somebody cannot start the day on site and end it from a car.
Does a phone clock-in record GPS?
No. A phone call carries no location, so what the entry holds is the number that called, the workplace that number is approved for, and the recorded name. GPS comes from an employee clocking in on their own signed-in device instead.
Can employees pick a job on the call?
Yes. Give each job a phone code in Clockspot, and Clockspot asks for it on the call while the employee clocks in. Require it, or let employees press pound to skip. Either way the job lands on the time entry, so a crew working two jobs at one address still splits the hours.
Try Clockspot and collect hours from any phone, cell or landline.
Employees dial, the call arrives as an ordinary time entry, and you review the week with everything else.
