Track the payroll record
A transportation or delivery time clock should track:
- Clock-in and clock-out times.
- Missed punches.
- Manual edits and edit reasons.
- Route, stop, office, job, or location detail when it helps review.
- Travel, waiting, loading, or admin time when your process reviews it separately.
- Manager approval.
- Payroll export or summary status.
Keep dispatch separate
Dispatch, routing, ELDs, DOT compliance, fleet management, billing, payroll processing, HR, and accounting are separate systems.
The time clock should make employee hours clear enough that payroll does not have to rebuild the day from dispatch notes.
