Go2Clock - Updates

The ClockRite team are constantly looking to update and develop the system to increase functionality and fix bugs. Please find the updates released below.

October 2026

Mobile Clocking – Geofencing

You can now decide how the geolocation is used for users clocking in via mobile. This is set company-wide within System Settings → System Config Settings → Employee Dashboard.

• When 'Disable location services for mobile clocking' is enabled, the user's location isn't recorded and geofencing is ignored.
• When location services are enabled and geofencing is OFF: Employees can clock in or out from anywhere, provided their device can obtain a valid GPS location.
• When location services are enabled and geofencing is ON: Employees can only clock in or out when they are at an approved location.

Holiday & Sick – Appointment Leave

We have added Appointment Leave, allowing paid absences to be recorded without affecting an employee's holiday entitlement or sickness score. This is ideal for medical appointments or training courses, where the employee needs to be paid but is unable to clock in or out at a terminal. Appointment Leave is applied as a rule to your existing Holiday & Sick leave types. Once enabled, the recorded hours are calculated as standard hours rather than holiday or sickness hours.

Clock Editing – Recalculate Button

We have made editing clock records quicker. Previously, adding a clock record would recalculate the totals and reload the report straight away, which slowed things down when adding several entries. Totals are now only recalculated when the Recalculate button is selected, so you can add all the clock records you need and update the totals once.

Recruitment – New Module

We have released a new recruitment module, available as a paid add-on. You can create recruitment posts, set the requirements for each role and build questionnaires for applicants, which can then be attached to job adverts. The module supports full-time, part-time and temporary positions, keeping applications organised in one place.

September 2026

Visitor Management – New Module

We have released a new Visitor Management module, replacing the paper visitor book with a self-service kiosk. The kiosk runs in a web browser on any tablet or laptop, so there is no specialist hardware to buy and nothing for visitors to download. Visitors enter their details, choose a visit type (visitor, contractor, delivery or interview), agree to your site policies and select who they are visiting. Their host is emailed as soon as they check in, and the visitor receives a checkout code by email to use when they leave.

Checked-in visitors appear on a live list alongside your staff and are included on the fire roll call until they check out. Every visit is stored in a searchable visitor log.

User Interface – Visual Improvements

We have made a number of visual improvements to give the system a more consistent, modern look. Selectable options throughout the system now use the same colour scheme, and the tab you are currently on is highlighted in light grey in the left-hand sidebar. No setup is required.

Sidebar – Independent Scrolling

The left-hand sidebar can now be scrolled separately from the main page. Previously the sidebar was fixed, so reaching options such as System Settings could mean scrolling to the bottom of the page. Simply hover over the sidebar and use the mouse wheel to reach any option.

Shift Rules – Arrive Late Threshold

We have added an 'Arrive Late' rule within Shift Rules, allowing you to set your own late arrival threshold. Previously, the Legacy and Tardy reports used a fixed three-minute grace period that could not be changed. Employees who clock in after their scheduled start time but within the threshold are marked as on time and are only marked as late once the threshold has been exceeded.

Messaging – Send Messages to Employees

You can now send messages to employees from within the system. This can be used to share updates such as site changes, annual closure reminders and other announcements.

Super Admins can message individual employees, specific departments or the whole company. The ability to message the whole company or an entire department can be enabled/disabled per user role.

August 2026

Clock Devices – Biometric Sync

We have updated the clock devices' communication to support facial, fingerprint and palm sync. You can set which biometric types you want to sync per device under System Settings → Time Clock Devices → Update Device → Biometric Template Types

Employee Screen – Send to Device

We have added the option to upload an employee to the clock devices from within the employees list.

Within the employee list, click on 'Send to Clock Device'; a popup will then open where you can select which devices you want to upload the employee to. Click 'Send User' and the employee will be uploaded along with any biometrics stored within G2C

This function can be enabled by role under System Settings → System Config Settings → Customise Roles.

Legacy Timesheet – Save Editable Totals

We have added the ability to save changes made to the totals within the Legacy Report v6-Beta. Previously, any adjustments to the totals were lost once the report was closed. Saved changes now stay in place when the report is reopened and are visible to every manager with access to the report.

Edited totals are highlighted in red so it is clear an adjustment has been made. Once payroll has been approved, the totals return to black and are locked. To make further changes, the payroll approval must first be removed.

July 2026

View Upcoming Leave on the Dashboard

This feature displays all employees alongside a week-by-week view of their scheduled leave, making it simple to see at a glance who is off and when. Instead of cross-referencing multiple reports, managers can now view the full picture of upcoming employee leave in one place.

Once leave has been assigned to an employee, it will appear clearly within the dashboard view, giving managers the confidence that leave is being tracked accurately.

Clock Devices – Device Permissions

Users/employees can now be given access to the Clock Devices admin menus.

This can be enabled within Employees → Edit → Clock Device. Once set, the user needs to be reuploaded to the clock device for the new permissions to be available.

The functions available can be edited within the clock device, allowing you to give supervisors restricted access compared to the admin card.

This can be used to enable supervisors to register employees without needing the admin card.

June 2026

Holiday/Leave Entitlement – Calculations in hours instead of days.

This new Go2Clock feature adds a new option to calculate leave in hours, as well as days/half days.

This feature allows employee leave to be calculated and recorded in hours rather than days, giving payroll administrators far greater accuracy when processing leave. Instead of calculating in full/half days, managers can now account for precise leave durations.

To get started, simply enter each employee's maximum hours holiday allowance in the Holiday Entitlement section of their employee profile. The feature can then be enabled by navigating to System Settings → System Config Settings → Leave Settings and switching on track leave in hours. Switching this off will revert back to tracking leave in days and half days. Once enabled, an overview of leave totals can be viewed at any time from the Holiday & Sick menu by selecting the Leave Reports tab and choosing totals for a given period.

Schedule – Hide the labour cost column by role

We have added a role permission to show/hide the labour cost column within the schedule.

  3. The status filter has been updated to support selecting multiple statuses at once.

  

• Legacy Timesheet – Hide Approved Timesheets

  We have added the option to hide employees whose timesheet has already been approved. This setting can be toggled on/off within the report and can be used in conjunction with the 'hide day rows' feature and 'hide employees with zero hours'. If this option is selected before exporting, these employees will also be hidden on the export.

  

• Leave Reports – Leave Requests

  We have released a new report for showing 'Leave Requests'. This report will show all requests regardless of status. Allowing you to show 'approved', 'rejected' and 'pending' requests in one place.

  

April  2026

  We have added the option to hide employees with a total of zero hours. This setting can be toggled on/off within the report and can be used in conjunction with the hide day rows feature. If this option is selected before exporting, these employees will also be hidden on the export.

  This feature is available on Legacy Timesheet v6 onwards

  

• Shifts – The 'Calculated Work Hours' can now be adjusted independently of the shift start and finish times, allowing daily overtime calculations to take into account clocked unpaid breaks. This also allows the schedule planner 'Shift Hours'  and 'labour cost' to take unpaid time into account.

  

March  2026

• Exceptions Report – We have added a 'Compliance Exceptions' report to the system. This report will display the following working time directive violations:

  i. Possible missing 20-minute break

  ii. Daily rest under 11 hours

  iii. Absent 2+ times in the last 30 days

• System Users – The system users page has been updated to include details on the custom dashboard level and departments users have been given access to.

  

• Weekly Overtime Support – Legacy Timesheet V6 onwards has been updated to support weekly overtime calculations.

  i. When this option is enabled, any hours worked after the employee's contracted hours will be counted as overtime.

  ii. Hours worked within a time band don't count towards this threshold.

  iii. Individual shifts can be excluded from weekly overtime calculation.

  

December 2025

• Customise Roles – You can now edit the user roles within the system. Customisable options include editing the role name and assigning role permissions. This function is only available for the super admin account.

  

• Fire Evac/Roll Call – The Evac Report has been updated to support mobile clockings. To determine which site an employee is clocking in or out from using their mobile device, the system compares the GPS location of the employee’s device with predefined site coordinates. If this is within the radius the clocking will be marked with the site location.

  

  

• Absence Calendar – New report designed to display holidays and sickness in a calendar view. Ideal for printing to use as a wall chart.

  

• Cash Adjustment – Legacy Timesheet V6 onwards has been updated to support a cash adjustment that is applied from within the shift.

• Legacy Timesheet – We have added the option for the legacy report to be summarised. Clicking this option will hide the rows which contain the daily clockings and daily totals. Any additional information that has been enabled such as pay will still be displayed. If this option is selected before exporting this information will also be hidden on the export.

  This feature is available on Legacy Timesheet v6 onwards

  

• Time Band Support – Legacy Timesheet V6 onwards has been updated to support a time band. The time band is applied within the shift setup. Any hours worked within the time band are not attributed to basic or overtime and are instead calculated at their own rate of pay. Hours worked within the time band also do not contribute towards the daily overtime threshold.
