THE FOUNDATION

Clock In / Clock Out workflows that stay connected.

Record employee clock-in and clock-out events from biometric devices, GPS punches on Enterprise and a secure punch feed so daily attendance, working time, late arrival, missing checkout and overtime calculations have a reliable event source.

Device-first capture

Punches come from synced biometric devices or a secure punch feed for your own systems — the portal shows the record read-only, with a regularization form for corrections.

First-in, last-out

The day pairs the first arrival with the last departure, with a per-device option to honor explicit in/out flags.

Exception handling

Missing, late or out-of-window punches can be reviewed.

BUILT FOR CONTROL

Details that make clock in / clock out dependable.

01

Start and end events

Clock-in/out creates a clear time trail.

02

Missing-punch reminders

Reminder emails go out around shift start and end at a configurable offset — never duplicated, and skipped on leave, holidays and exempt shifts.

03

Envelope pairing

First-in/last-out pairing keeps multi-punch days sane, with per-device in/out flag support.

04

Overnight shifts

Cross-midnight shifts calculate on absolute timestamps, so night crews are never shortchanged.

05

Overtime basis

Worked hours provide overtime context.

06

Portal punching where enabled

Employees see their punches in the portal. On Enterprise they can also clock in and out from it when they are inside a site you defined; otherwise the view stays read-only and corrections go through regularization.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What HR teams usually ask about clock in / clock out.

Both events are needed for complete worked-hour and exception review.

On Enterprise, yes — GPS attendance lets an assigned employee clock in from the portal while they are physically inside a site you defined. Otherwise punches come from devices or the secure feed and the portal stays read-only, with a regularization form for corrections.

Yes. Biometric devices can feed punch activity.
