Sound familiar?
Clocking goes wrong in the same few ways in every business that runs shifts. Here's what TimeSpark does about each.
I don't know who's in.
Paper sheets and card readers tell you nothing until someone adds them up. TimeSpark shows it live: at work, late, booked off, and not accounted for.
He clocked in for his mate.
A card or a PIN can be lent to a friend. A face can't, and every clocking keeps a photo.
Nobody trusts the timesheets.
Hours typed up from paper get rounded and guessed. TimeSpark works them out from the clockings, shows its workings for every day, and records every correction with who made it and why.
The overtime just happened.
TimeSpark flags it and holds it until a manager approves it. Nothing gets paid that nobody agreed.
Nobody chased the no-show.
Not accounted for sits on the first screen every morning until someone explains it: sick, on holiday, or genuinely missing.
The broadband's down again.
The site agent keeps every clocking safe and sends them when the connection's back. Nothing is lost.
Holiday lives in emails and a wall planner.
Book it, approve it, and see everyone's leave and rota on one wallchart.
It shows its workings.
Every hour on a timesheet traces back to the clockings behind it, photos included. When someone asks why it says 7:59, the answer is one click away.
16:31−08:02−0:30 break=7:59
Clockings are never changed.
What the terminal recorded is evidence, so it stays exactly as it was. When something needs fixing, a missing clock-out or a no-show that was really sickness, the correction sits on top with a name, a time and a reason.
Withdrawn corrections stay on the record too. When hours are disputed, you can show exactly what happened and who decided what.
From the door to payroll, in three steps.
Clock in at the door
A face terminal recognises each person in under a second. No cards to lose or lend.
The site agent sends it up
A small service on a PC at the site collects every clocking and sends it to TimeSpark. If the internet drops, it holds on to them.
Everything's in TimeSpark
Who's in right now, holiday, the wallchart, and timesheets ready for payroll, on any browser or phone.
Clockings are arriving as people come through the door.
Nothing at your site needs opening up.
The agent only ever makes outbound connections, the same as a web browser. No firewall changes, no VPN, nothing for your IT people to worry about.
Built for shifts, not offices.
- Rotas of any lengthFour on, four off. Two-week cycles. Two people on the same rota, on different halves.
- Nights that cross midnightA shift that starts on Monday and ends on Tuesday is one shift, not two halves.
- Leave in hours, from each person's patternA day off for a twelve-hour shift is twelve hours. A half-day for a part-timer is right automatically.
- UK bank holidays built inEngland and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland each get their own.
One system, four people who'll stop chasing.
