Clockwise provides role-based access based for all users so that each can have the access they need to do their jobs but no more. An employee can be assigned multiple roles as needed for their jobs, including:

• Employee: The default role, providing access to the employee's timesheet, leave balance, schedule, and leave requests
• Supervisor: Can approve timesheets and leave requests for employees assigned to them
• Client Manager: Can approve an employee's client-specific job charges while guarding the privacy of the rest of an employee's charges
• Scheduler: Can schedule employees by shifts or other time blocks and monitor employees' scheduled versus actual time
• Accountant: Can process payroll, configure groups, charge codes, and pay types, define employee shift types, and import/export data
• Administrator: Controls system configuration and manages all aspects of system workflow, user configuration, automated alerts, and employee roles

Clockwise Administrators can create almost limitless combinations of time charging codes to accommodate the work of any type of employee and their work categories, tasks, and projects. Charge codes can be defined using several levels defined in the system.

• Group -- Useful for timesheet approvals or charge code assignment. Supervisors assigned over a group will be allowed approve their employees' timesheets as well as leave requests
• Charge Code -- Jobs, projects, clients or other classification items to choose for time charging
• Pay Type -- Pay categories such as regular, overtime, vacation, jury duty, among many others
• Organization -- Company or association labels that can be used to further break down data in reporting
• Task -- Detail about what the employee is doing for a job. Easily customized and can be helpful for payroll integrations

Clockwise can be configured to automate a DCAA-compliant timesheet approval and correction process:

1. Employees submit and certify their timesheets with a digital signature
2. A designated supervisor approves the submitted timesheet
3. Supervisors can make changes and submit a timesheet for an employee if they are not available
   
   
   
   • When that happens, the employee receives a notification and must sign the modified timesheet
   
   
4. Employees can “Unsubmit” a timesheet after signing it to make further changes as long as the timesheet has not been processed for payroll
   
   
   
   • An unsubmitted and re-submitted timesheet must be certified and approved again
   
   
5. An employee cannot change a timesheet once it has been processed for payroll, but can create a “correction timesheet” for any historical modifications that are needed
   
   
   
   • Stored separately as a new timesheet version
   • Must go through the same approval process as the original timesheet
   
   
6. An activity log attached to the timesheet is un-editable and tracks all timesheet activity
7. Employee and supervisors can add comments and attach documents to the timesheet activity log to clarify any timekeeping entries on the record
