Alerts for you

Alerts surface a problem the day it happens, not at payroll review.

Get warned before an employee reaches overtime

Three separate alerts: overtime projected from published shifts, an approaching weekly threshold, and the moment someone crosses one.

Timesheet reviewTuesday 9:04 AM
Timesheet submitted Monday 9:04 AMWaiting for review
Reviewers remindedOnce per timesheet, after the wait you choose

Get a reminder when a submitted timesheet is waiting for review

Admins and the owner are reminded once per timesheet, so a submission is reviewed before payroll instead of after.

Common questions

Get answers before you turn on alerts.

  • Missed shift alerts
  • Overtime warnings
  • Employee reminders
What counts as a missed shift?

A published shift whose start time, plus the wait you choose, has passed with no clock-in from that employee. Alerts stop once the shift ends, so you are never alerted about yesterday.

Can employees choose how they get notified?

You decide which alerts and reminders the workspace sends. Each person then picks email, text, or both for themselves, and everything also appears in their Clockspot inbox.

Do reminders work for employees without smartphones?

Yes. Text reminders arrive on any phone that can receive a text message, and email reminders work anywhere. There is nothing to install.

Can clock-ins be limited to scheduled shifts?

Yes. Turn on the schedule restriction and employees clock in only within the early window you allow before a published shift. Clock-out is never restricted.
