Landline time clock

A landline time clock for job sites without internet.

Employees can dial in from any landline or cell phone, enter their phone clock ID and PIN, and say their name for a voice check. It is built for sites where a browser clock-in is not always practical.

Landline or cell phone

Employees can dial in from the phone available at the site.

ID and PIN

Clockspot identifies the employee before saving the entry.

Voice check

A recorded name check helps managers review the entry.

Calling number

Entries show the number that placed the call.

Landline clock-in benefits

Clock in employees when internet is not reliable.

Some job sites have low coverage, shared phones, or employees who do not use a smartphone for work. Phone clocking gives them a simple dial-in path.

Useful for job sites, field crews, and shared office phones.

Works from any landline

Employees can call from an office phone, site phone, or other landline when mobile data is not dependable.

Works from cell phones too

The same phone clock-in flow works from cell phones when employees do have one available.

Confirms identity for review

Phone clock-ins use an ID, PIN, calling number, and voice check so managers can review who clocked in.

Feeds payroll records

Phone entries become time records managers can review, correct, approve, and export.

Customer story

The phone-in system works perfectly. It has allowed me to manage the time of caretakers in Houston while I am in Austin.

How landline clock-ins work

Employees call, identify themselves, and the entry is saved for manager review.

Dial in

Employees call the phone clock-in number.

A landline time clock is useful when the phone at the site is more reliable than a browser clock-in.

Review

Phone entries still go through manager review.

Phone clock-ins are not a separate timesheet workflow. They become entries that managers can inspect, correct, approve, and export.
