Work Checklists keep classroom and facility closeout routines consistent.

Clockspot opens the checklist that applies when an employee clocks out from their own account. Use it for administrative routines, and keep student or child details in the appropriate school or care system.

  • Give employees the same program closeout steps

  • Bring supply or facility issues into view quickly

  • See which checklists were submitted and which are still waiting

Employee clock-ins

Keep each clock-in ready for review.

Clock in quickly from one shared device.

Each employee uses a personal PIN on the same tablet or computer.

See where mobile employees clock in.

An employee can use a browser and share GPS with the clock-in when location is available.

See hours by classroom, program, or campus.

The selected work area stays with the time entry for manager review.

Employees can also clock in by phone when a browser is impractical.

Common questions

Get answers about school and childcare staff time.

  • Use the devices staff already know
  • See hours by classroom or program
  • Spend less time preparing payroll
Does Clockspot replace our school or childcare software?

No. Clockspot handles employee schedules, time, corrections, approvals, and payroll reports. Keep student attendance, classroom ratios, family communication, tuition billing, licensing, and education records in the systems built for those jobs.

Can employees share one time clock?

Yes. Run a shared clock on a tablet or computer at the front office or another employee area. Each employee uses a personal PIN to identify the clock-in.

Can employees check their schedule and request time off?

Yes. Managers can publish employee shifts, and employees can check their schedule and submit time-off requests in Clockspot.

Can we see hours by classroom, program, department, or campus?

Yes. Use Clockspot Jobs for the work areas or labels your organization already reviews. The selected Job stays with the time entry and appears in job-hours reporting.

Can GPS show where an employee clocked in?

Clock-ins from an employee's own account can include GPS, IP, and device details when the employee shares the required information. Shared-clock and phone entries keep different identity details instead.

How do corrections and approvals reach payroll?

Employees can request a correction with a reason. Managers review the workweek and approve time cards, then open payroll reports or download a configured export file. Clockspot prepares employee time but does not process payroll.
