Notes

The article does not list every FLSA recordkeeping field. It uses the DOL recordkeeping baseline to support the practical claim that employers need explainable employee time records before payroll.

The article says Clockspot helps with time tracking and payroll-ready records. It does not say Clockspot processes payroll, replaces EVV, manages clinical documentation, or handles payer billing.
