How the Employee Time Clock Works

Updoot's employee time clock connects every part of your workforce -- from the admin dashboard to the employee hub to the kiosk -- so hours are tracked accurately, approved fast, and ready for payroll without touching a spreadsheet.

1

Employees Clock In

Employees punch in and out from their own device, the shared kiosk, or admins clock them in directly from the dashboard.

2

Managers Approve Hours

Admins review, adjust, and approve time entries before anything goes to payroll or billing -- no surprises, no disputes.

3

Export or Invoice

Click the payroll export to send hours straight to Gusto, ADP, or Paychex -- or hit invoice to bill the client directly from tracked time.

Admin Command Center

The real-time operating dashboard for running your business.

The Admin Command Center is where everything comes together. Instantly see who is working, who is out, clock employees in or out, see pending PTO requests, scheduling, total hours, overtime and more all in one place.

With one-click access to time tracking, projects, SOPs, billing, invoicing, payroll reports, and performance tools, Updoot replaces the chaos of disconnected systems with one clear dashboard to run operations.

Every tool is export-ready to Excel or Google Sheets, making it easy to share, audit, and stay organized even outside the platform.

The Employee Hub

Your team's one-click dashboard for the workday.

The Employee Hub is where your team starts and ends their day. Employees can clock in and out in seconds from desktop or mobile, track time by job, location, or project, and instantly see 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 fast, simple employee clock-ins.

The Time Clock Kiosk turns any tablet, front desk computer, or shared workstation into a secure employee punch station.

Admins launch Kiosk mode with one click, and employees clock in or out instantly using their ID -- no logins, no confusion, and no wasted time.

Every punch flows directly into the Admin Command Center for time tracking, totals, overtime, payroll reporting, and invoicing so hours stay accurate, accountable, and ready to review.

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.

An Employee Time Clock Built for the Way Small Businesses Actually Operate

Paper timesheets get lost. Spreadsheets get fudged. Text messages asking "what time did you clock in?" waste everyone's time. If you are managing a team and still tracking hours manually, you are not just dealing with an inconvenience -- you are leaving money on the table every single pay period.

Updoot's employee time clock lets your team punch in and out in seconds from desktop or mobile, from their own employee dashboard, a shared kiosk, or directly from the admin panel. Time entries are tied to specific jobs, locations, and projects so you always know not just how many hours were worked, but where and on what.

Optional GPS capture means every punch comes with a location stamp -- no more employees clocking in from the parking lot or a job site they have not reached yet. For field teams, service crews, and multi-location businesses, that accountability alone pays for itself.

Every hour tracked flows directly into payroll reports and invoicing. Managers review and approve time entries before anything goes to billing or payroll which means no surprises, no disputes, and no re-entering data across three different systems.

Whether you are running a five-person service crew or a growing company with dozens of employees across multiple sites, Updoot gives you one place to see who is working, approve hours, manage PTO, and turn time into revenue without the chaos of disconnected tools.
