Clockspot is an interesting web-based employee time tracking application I ran across the other day. It allows employees to clock in via the Internet, or (for an additional cost) by telephone.

The telephone clock-in allows for “voice authentication” where employees speak their name for later audio verification. You can also track and restrict where employees can log in/out from (so, say, they’d have to be in the office, not logging in from home).

The system also includes built-in messaging and instant messaging systems, as well as the ability to assign employee tasks and track their time spent on each task.

Now, it’s not perfect. One major limitation is that it doesn’t seem to download directly to payroll applications or services (Quickbooks, Peachtree, ADP, etc.). But it does export to Excel or PDF. Plus you can use it to calculate payroll and print a payroll report, which could be helpful if you cut your own paychecks manually.

With base pricing of $10 per month plus $2 per month for each employee account and $5 per month for each supervisor account, it’s affordable for even small businesses. Telephone access costs an additional $0.12 per dial-in, and another $0.01 per voice authentication.

Particularly if you have a mobile workforce, the telephone clock in feature sounds interesting. And because even the non-telephone clock in is web-based, you don’t have to install any software on your end. (Another bonus!)

They have a demo (refer to the instructions at the bottom of the screen). Worth checking out, at least, I think.
