Staff clock-ins

Give employees simple ways to clock in around busy shifts.

Is Clockspot school or childcare management software?

No. Clockspot is focused employee time tracking for payroll-ready records. It does not replace classroom ratios, student attendance, parent billing, lesson plans, licensing records, staff credential tracking, scheduling, HR, or payroll processing.

Can staff clock in from classrooms or program sites?

Yes. Employees can clock in from a phone or computer with internet. If a site uses a phone-only workflow, employees can also dial in from any landline or cell phone using phone clocking.

Can we track hours by room, department, or program?

Yes. Jobs can represent rooms, programs, departments, locations, office work, or support roles. Employees can choose the job when they clock in, or enter a job phone code during a phone clock-in.

Does GPS track employees all day?

No. GPS can be captured when employees clock in from their own account and the device shares location. Phone entries instead capture the calling number and voice check so managers can check the record before payroll.
