Ordinary commuting is different from travel between job sites during the workday
DOL guidance distinguishes normal home-to-work travel from travel that is part of the employee's principal activity, including job-site-to-job-site travel during the workday.
The policy should make route facts clear enough for review
This is operational guidance. It does not decide whether every trip is paid or reimbursed.
2 claims
Client/job selection can matter for payroll review, billing, job costing, manager approval, and record lookup
The article frames this as business workflow guidance, not a universal legal requirement.
GPS should be treated as context, not the whole policy
The article lists benign explanations for GPS mismatches and avoids adversarial framing.
1 claim
Missed punches and wrong-job entries should include correction reasons
This is record-quality guidance. The article uses a neutral tone and says the reason is not an accusation.
1 claim
Clockspot is not positioned as route optimization, dispatch, booking, inspections, invoicing, mileage reimbursement, or full cleaning-business management software
The page limits Clockspot's role to employee time tracking, job/location context, corrections, approvals, and payroll-ready records.

Clockspot helps small businesses track employee time and keep payroll-ready records. Used in all 50 states since 2007, we focus on getting time and pay right — including the wage-and-hour rules that shape both.
We build Clockspot for the same reason we publish these reports: time records should be understandable, reviewable, and tied to the rules that affect payroll. See how Clockspot works.
