What is Clock-In / Clock-Out?

The process by which employees record the exact start and end times of their work shifts, providing timestamped data for payroll processing, overtime calculations, and labor law compliance.

Why it matters in hiring

Clock-In / Clock-Out comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
