Employee Time Clock Software

Staff clock in and out from the phone already in their pocket. Every punch records how far it was from the worksite, breaks are tracked as they happen, and the hours roll straight into timecards for the pay period.

No hardware to buy, no terminal by the door, and no paper timesheet to decipher at the end of the fortnight.

A time clock that records what actually happened

The point of a time clock is not to catch people out. It is to end the argument about what the hours were, with a record both sides can look at.

Clock in from a phone

Employees start and end their shift from their own device. Nothing to install at the worksite and no queue at a shared terminal.

Geofenced punches

Each location carries its own geofence. Punches record their distance from the site, so you can see at a glance which ones landed inside it.

Breaks tracked properly

Breaks are punched in and out like shifts, so paid and unpaid time are separated in the record rather than estimated afterwards.

Who's in, live

See who is currently clocked in, who is on a break and who has not shown up for a shift that has already started.

Timecards for the pay period

Hours roll up per employee across the pay period, ready to be reviewed and handed to whoever runs payroll.

Corrections stay on record

An admin can add or fix a punch, but every correction needs a written reason and is kept, so a disputed timecard has an answer.

From punch to payroll

  1. 1

    The shift starts

    The employee clocks in from their phone. The punch is stamped with its time and its distance from the worksite.

  2. 2

    Breaks are punched

    Break start and end are recorded as their own punches, keeping unpaid time out of the worked total.

  3. 3

    The admin reviews

    Timecards show the period's hours per person. Anything odd — a missed clock-out, a punch well outside the fence — is visible for review.

  4. 4

    Corrections are logged

    If a punch genuinely needs fixing, the admin records the correction with a reason. The original and the change both survive in the audit log.

Why the audit trail matters

Time records are the evidence in any dispute about pay, and a system that lets an administrator silently rewrite history is worth very little when that dispute arrives. Scheduling Pilot treats every punch correction as an event in its own right: who changed it, when, and the reason they gave.

The same applies to the schedule the hours are measured against. Publishing, trades and time-off approvals are all recorded, so the question of what someone was rostered to work has a documented answer rather than a recollection.

None of this requires a separate system. The clock, the timecards and the schedule are the same platform, which is why the hours can be compared against the roster without exporting anything.

Role-based access

Employees see their own punches. Admins see their company's. Per-company isolation is enforced in the database itself.

Scheduled against actual

Because the roster and the clock live together, planned hours and worked hours can be read side by side.
