Track the staff time record
A dental office time clock should track:
- Clock-in and clock-out times.
- Missed punches.
- Manual edits and edit reasons.
- Breaks, if your process tracks them.
- Role, location, or department when it helps review.
- Manager approval.
- Payroll export or summary status.
Keep it separate from dental systems
The time clock is for employee hours. It should not replace patient scheduling, dental practice management, payroll processing, or HR records.
For more detail, read time clock app for dental offices. If you need a starting policy, use the dental office time tracking policy template.
