This quick-read answers one practical question: should cleaning crews track travel between jobs? The claims were checked against federal travel-time guidance, IRS mileage guidance, cleaning-company workflow review, and Clockspot's job/location workflow.
No contradictions found. The quick-read does not claim every drive is paid, does not give state-specific reimbursement advice, and does not claim GPS alone creates a complete payroll record.

Mileage is framed as a separate record, not a replacement for time tracking.
GPS is context, not the whole payroll answer
The quick-read keeps GPS in a review-support role.

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.
