Time Clock

Employee Time Clock Software That Keeps Punches, Breaks, Exceptions, and Schedules Connected

Track time, review exceptions, approve corrections, and prepare cleaner timesheets without separating the time clock from the schedule.

Shiftaro connects employee punches, break tracking, missed clock-outs, punch corrections, manager review, and payroll-ready reporting into one operating layer for shift-based teams.

Most time clock tools capture punches. Shiftaro helps managers understand what those punches mean against the schedule, the rules, and the workday.

The manual timekeeping problem

Time Tracking Breaks Down When Punches and Schedules Live Apart

Clock-ins, breaks, missed punches, corrections, approvals, and payroll prep all affect labor accuracy. But many teams still manage those pieces across separate tools, spreadsheets, texts, and manager memory.

That makes it harder to know who is working, whether breaks were taken, why a punch is wrong, and which timesheets are actually ready for payroll.

When the time clock is disconnected from the schedule, managers spend more time fixing time than running the team.

Employee clock-in experience

Give Employees a Time Clock That Understands Their Shift

Employees should be able to clock in, clock out, start breaks, end breaks, and see their current shift without guessing what they are supposed to do next.

Shiftaro is designed to connect mobile time tracking to the employee’s assigned shift, location, activity, and punch history.

Surface Timekeeping Issues Before They Become Payroll Problems

Managers should not discover timekeeping problems at the end of the pay period. Shiftaro helps surface exceptions during the workweek so managers can review what needs attention while the context is still fresh.

Late clock-ins

See when employees clock in after the scheduled start time.

Missed breaks

Flag breaks that were skipped, missed, or not recorded correctly.

Open punches

Catch missed clock-outs before hours become messy.

Unscheduled time

Identify punches that do not match a scheduled shift.

Early clock-ins

Spot labor cost drift before it becomes a pattern.

Location exceptions

Review punches with location or device concerns.

Punch corrections

Route time edits to managers with context and history.

Overtime risk

Understand when time decisions may create labor cost risk.

Manager review

Review Punch Corrections With Schedule Context

A punch correction should not be approved in isolation. Managers need to know the scheduled shift, recorded punches, break activity, time impact, overtime risk, and request history before making the call.

Shiftaro connects punch exceptions and corrections to manager review so decisions can be faster, clearer, and more consistent.

Payroll-ready timesheets

Prepare Cleaner Timesheets Before Payroll Export

Payroll should not start with a scramble to fix missing punches, missing breaks, unresolved corrections, or unapproved timesheets.

Shiftaro helps managers review timekeeping status, approved hours, overtime, pending corrections, and export readiness before payroll needs to move.

Cleaner timekeeping means fewer payroll questions, fewer last-minute fixes, and better labor visibility.
