Time Clock by Homebase (Clover)

Time Clock by Homebase is the Homebase time clock app that runs on Clover point-of-sale devices and comes preinstalled on new Clover devices. Employees clock in with a PIN, and hours, breaks and overtime flow into timesheets and, with the wider Homebase product, into scheduling and payroll. It is aimed at small businesses with hourly teams, including restaurants.
