Connect Clock allows your employees to clock in/out with ExakTime Connect. This can be useful for office personnel with access to a computer who need to log hours and do not want to use other options such as ExakTime Mobile or JobClocks.

Enabling Connect Clock is a matter of checking the right boxes, but there are some additional steps needed to make sure the necessary employees have what they need in order to use it.
