Overnight work breaks most basic time tracking tools because “days” don’t match “shifts”. The key is shift-aware pairing across midnight.
Common problems
- Clock-out appears on the “next day” and looks missing
- Payroll totals split incorrectly
- Managers chase staff for “missing” clock-outs that aren’t missing
What to configure
- Overnight shift handling
- Maximum shift length
- Auto pairing rules across midnight
- Exception reporting (only show what needs attention)
WorkClocking tip: Use overnight-aware rules so the system reflects how your business actually operates.
