Frequently asked questions
How does ClockIt handle scheduling for part-time and seasonal retail staff?
ClockIt's flexible scheduler allows you to create templates for different roles and employment types. You can easily adjust hours, set availability, and onboard seasonal staff quickly.
Can employees easily swap shifts through the app?
Yes. Our mobile app allows employees to post their shifts for swapping or covering. Other eligible employees can pick them up, and managers simply approve the change with one tap.
Does the system enforce meal and rest break policies to maintain compliance?
Absolutely. You can set up custom rules for paid and unpaid breaks based on your state's laws. The system can remind employees to take breaks and alert managers of missed or short breaks.
How can we track sales commissions or tips within ClockIt?
While ClockIt focuses on time, you can use our integrations or API to connect with POS or sales systems to correlate hours worked with sales performance for commission calculations.
Is it possible to manage multiple store locations from a single account?
Yes, ClockIt is designed for multi-location businesses. You can manage schedules, run reports, and set policies for all stores from a single admin account, while giving store managers access only to their location.
What are the best clock-in options for a busy retail environment?
Our most popular option for retail is the Tablet Kiosk, often placed near the POS or in the breakroom. It's fast, easy to use with a PIN, and the photo capture feature prevents buddy punching.
How does ClockIt help with early clock-ins or late clock-outs?
You can set up 'rounding' rules to snap punches to the scheduled start/end times (e.g., a 7-minute rule). You can also block punches outside of a certain window before or after a shift.
