Clocking in and out

Cleaners clock in and out from the CleanLog mobile app at the start and end of a shift. Each clock-in and clock-out is timestamped on the record, so the hours you pay come from what actually happened, not a memory at the end of the week. If someone forgets to clock out, the entry is flagged for review, not silently dropped.

How does a cleaner clock in?

A cleaner opens the mobile app, finds their shift, and taps to clock in. The app records the time the moment they tap, so the start of the shift is exact. They clock out the same way when the shift is done. That single timestamped pair, clock-in and clock-out, is the worked time that flows into the timesheet. No paper, no texting a manager the hours later.

What if a cleaner forgets to clock out?

A missed clock-out is flagged for review, not silently dropped. CleanLog keeps the clock-in on the record and marks the entry as needing attention, so it surfaces in the timesheet review instead of vanishing or guessing a random end time. You correct the clock-out time during review, the change is logged, and the hours stay accurate. Nothing slips through the cracks, and no cleaner loses hours because they forgot one tap.

How do I fix or approve the hours?

You review flagged entries before payroll, not during it. Open the pay period, find anything marked for review (missed clock-outs, edits), correct the time, and approve the hours. The correction is logged on the record, so you have an audit trail. See reviewing and approving timesheets for the full review pass.

Where to go next

Once time is captured cleanly, close the period with exporting payroll-ready timesheets. To understand how worked hours turn into pay, see overtime, breaks, and travel time.
