CLOCKTRAIL WALKTHROUGH
From new account to approved payroll week.
Use this guide before you sign up, while you set up the company, or when a teammate needs a quick answer.
CREATE THE COMPANY
Start with your company rules
Create the owner account, enter the six-digit email confirmation code, then choose the company time zone, workweek start, and overtime threshold.
START THE TRIAL
Add the card on Stripe’s secure page
ClockTrail sends you to Stripe to collect payment details for the seven-day trial. After checkout, you return directly to the owner dashboard.
ADD THE TEAM
Invite employees—or track your own time
Add each employee’s name and email, optionally assign an employee ID, and send the invitation. Owners and administrators can enable time tracking for themselves without another login.
TRACK WORK
Clock in, take a break, and clock out
The employee clock uses the secure server time. Current-day and current-week totals update automatically, and employees can request a correction if a punch needs attention.
Ready to start?
Your punch time comes from the secure server.
REVIEW THE WEEK
Resolve exceptions before approval
Owners and administrators see open shifts, overlapping records, corrections, and time-off requests. Review the details, make a decision, and approve complete weekly timesheets.
Week of Aug 24–30
