End Timesheet Errors and Time Theft With an Employee Time Clock

Here is how the Updoot employee time clock works for admins, employees and shared kiosks.

Clock In From a Phone, Tablet or Computer

Phone

Employees clock in from their own phone with GPS punch locations. It runs in the browser like an app, with no download.

Tablet

Turn any tablet into a shared time clock kiosk, with a photo captured at every punch.

The Time Clock Admin Command Center

Run the time clock from your phone, computer or tablet.

The Time Clock Admin Command Center is where managers run the workday, from their phone, their computer or a tablet. Instantly see who is working and who is out, and clock employees in or out yourself when someone forgets to punch, even when you are away from your desk. On a phone it works right in the browser with nothing to download.

Daily and weekly hours, overtime and time entries are all on one screen, so you can review, edit and approve hours before anything goes to payroll. Approve the week to finalize overtime, then send hours to payroll or invoices without re-entering a thing.

Every edit is captured in the audit log, and every timesheet is export-ready to Excel or Google Sheets for payroll, audits and job costing.

The Employee Hub for Clocking In and Out

Employees clock in from their phone, computer or tablet.

The Employee Hub is where your team starts and ends their day, on whatever device they have. Employees clock in and out in seconds from their phone, their computer or a tablet, with nothing to download. On a phone it works right in the browser and looks and feels just like an app.

From any device, employees can track time by job, location, or project and instantly see their upcoming shifts.

If GPS tracking is enabled, punch locations are captured automatically for added accuracy and accountability -- no paper timesheets, no manual math, and no chasing down hours.

Everything stays connected. Time entries flow directly into payroll reports, projects, and invoicing so managers can review, approve, and bill with confidence. Employees also get quick access to SOPs, goals, performance reviews, and the tools they need to stay aligned and productive.

The Time Clock Kiosk

A dedicated punch station for teams that share one device.

Kiosk mode turns any tablet or shared computer into a punch station, with photo capture at every punch so hours belong to the person who worked them.

The Team Punch Location Map

See where your workforce is operating in real time.

The Team Location Map gives managers instant visibility into where work is happening across the organization. Every clock-in can capture a secure GPS location so leaders can quickly confirm job site coverage and team distribution.

Instead of guessing who is where, the map displays employee punch locations in one simple view. Field teams, service crews, and multi-location operations can verify activity across every job site without constant check-ins.

Combined with time tracking and scheduling, the map helps organizations improve accountability, verify attendance, and maintain accurate records while keeping leadership informed throughout the day.
