How do employees clock in and out?

Employees clock in using a terminal app on a phone or tablet by scanning a QR code or NFC card. Clock-ins follow organisation-specific shift rules.

Does WorkClocking support overnight shifts?

Yes. WorkClocking correctly pairs and calculates clock-ins that cross midnight, including overnight and split shifts.

Can I export hours for payroll?

Yes. Payroll-ready exports include worked hours, overtime, absences, and anomalies, ready for payroll processing.

Is location tracking required?

No. Location tracking is optional and can be enabled or disabled depending on your organisation’s needs.

Is WorkClocking suitable for small businesses?

Yes. WorkClocking is designed to scale from small teams to multi-site organisations with simple setup and flexible pricing.
