Attendance is easy. Exceptions are where the work starts.
ClearOps Time helps organizations manage attendance, additional work, leave, corrections, approvals, and reviewed hours in one operational workflow — without requiring dedicated time-clock hardware.
The clock-in is only the beginning.
Most organizations can record basic attendance. The real operational work starts when something does not fit the normal schedule.
Additional work
Extra assignments, after-hours work, special duties, or other exception work often end up in text messages, email, or spreadsheets.
Corrections & approvals
Missed punches and time corrections create follow-up, unclear ownership, and last-minute payroll cleanup.
Leave & attendance review
Leave, absences, late arrivals, and approved exceptions need to be reviewed together before hours are finalized.
The goal is not another time clock. It is one operational workflow for the full attendance lifecycle.
One workflow from check-in to reviewed hours
Regular attendance and exception work become part of the same review trail.
- 01Check in / out
- 02Record exception
- 03Manager review
- 04Resolve corrections
- 05Review hours
- 06Export / handoff
No separate spreadsheet should be needed just to explain what happened during the pay period.
Simple for employees
Employees can use existing phones or computers for attendance — no dedicated time-clock device is required.
- Check in and out from an existing device
- View attendance records
- Submit leave requests
- Submit correction requests
- Submit additional or exception work when needed
Capture the work that normal attendance misses
Exception work can be submitted, reviewed, and approved as its own operational workflow.
- Additional duty or after-hours work
- Temporary or substitute coverage
- Special event or operational assignment
- Work that requires manager confirmation before payroll review
Exceptions become visible instead of disappearing into text messages or memory.
Managers see what needs attention
Pending attendance issues can be reviewed from one place instead of being chased across messages and spreadsheets.
Approve
Confirm valid attendance or exception work and move it forward.
Return / Correct
Send back inaccurate requests or resolve attendance corrections.
Audit Trail
Keep the request, decision, and change history together.
A manager should be able to answer “What still needs attention?” without reconstructing the pay period manually.
Review first. Export second.
ClearOps Time is designed to prepare reviewed hours for payroll — not to replace the payroll engine.
Regular attendance
Standard clocked work appears alongside reviewed exceptions.
Exception visibility
Additional work and corrections remain identifiable rather than being buried in notes.
Payroll-ready handoff
Reviewed records can be exported or handed off to the organization’s existing payroll process.
Try ClearOps Time with a real workflow
The pilot is designed to test ClearOps Time without forcing a large implementation project.
- 01
Basic setup
Organization, employees, roles, and relevant policy settings.
- 02
Location validation
Use IP and/or GPS validation where appropriate.
- 03
Run one pay period
A small group of employees and managers uses the workflow during normal operations.
- 04
Review the results
Compare attendance, exception handling, corrections, approvals, and reviewed hours with the organization’s current process.
A practical pilot focuses on one real pay period with a small group — enough to see whether attendance, exceptions, corrections, and approvals become easier to manage.
Organization-aware access
Each organization's records are separated, and access follows the person's role — employee, manager, or administrator.
