FREE OPTIONAL HOLIDAY PLANNER

Staff get a clear, responsive Holiday Planner showing allowance, approved leave, pending requests and remaining days.

Approve requests & cancellations

Requests go to the employee's existing line manager. Approved holiday cancellations also require manager approval before days are returned.

The company Holiday Calendar gives managers an at-a-glance view of approved and pending leave across the team.

LONE & MOBILE WORKER SAFETY

Rail work needs visibility across journeys, shifts and accommodation.

ClockOn keeps the whole field working day together so long travel, remote attendance and overnight working do not disappear into separate manual records.

Supports your procedures. ClockOn provides timestamped records, alerts and workforce visibility that can support health & safety, lone-working and working-time processes. It does not replace your organisation's risk assessments, emergency procedures or legal duties.

SAFETY + WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT

The safety layer sits on top of the operational information the business already needs.

ClockOn helps companies protect staff while producing a more accurate record of the working day.

Working-hour visibility

Driving and work events contribute to daily totals so unusually long days can be identified.

Overtime records

Actual event times help make sure additional hours are visible and reach Payroll faster.

Accommodation

Multi-day workers can finish at accommodation instead of being incorrectly shown as home.

Payroll preparation

Authorised users can review hours, overtime, pay settings, sickness and absence information.

Journey context

Google Routes comparisons can help managers understand travel time and larger journey variances.

Client Delay

Record time lost to access or client issues with notes and supporting images where relevant.

STAFF PRIVACY

Safety visibility without constant surveillance.

ClockOn does not need to continuously follow a worker around. GPS is requested at important actions such as Setting Off, Arrived, Leaving and Finished, and at defined safety events where the company has enabled them.

This gives managers useful evidence while keeping the employee workflow clear and proportionate.

SEE THE REAL PRODUCT
