A time clock kiosk for shared devices.

Kiosk benefits

Why employers use a shared kiosk.

A kiosk gives employees one place to clock in, without anyone needing their own device, while a personal PIN and optional photo capture keep each clock-in reviewable.

A shared tablet or computer plus a PIN per employee.

One shared device

A single tablet or computer at the door lets employees clock in without using their own device.

A PIN per person

Each employee clocks in with their own PIN, so a shared screen still ties every entry to the right person.

Set it up once

Register the device once; it stays on the clock screen and signed in across restarts.

Ready for review

Kiosk clock-ins become time entries you review, approve, and export for payroll, with photo context when enabled.

Do employees need their own phones?

No. A kiosk is a shared tablet or computer, and employees clock in with a personal PIN, so no one needs their own device.

What devices can run a kiosk?

Any tablet or computer with a web browser. You open the kiosk address once, register the device, and it stays on the clock screen across restarts.

How do employees get a PIN?

Email PIN setup links so employees choose their own, or set a PIN for them. The Kiosks page lists every employee with their PIN status.

Can a kiosk capture a verification photo?

Yes. Photo capture is optional per kiosk. When it is enabled, Clockspot attempts a photo on clock-in and clock-out, and camera issues do not block the punch.

Where do kiosk clock-ins appear?

A kiosk clock-in becomes a time entry you can review, approve, and export for payroll, alongside clock-ins from employee accounts and phone clocking.
