Clock In vs. Clock Out

The terms “clock in” and “clock out” are specific to the context of employment. They refer to the process of recording the start and end times of an employee’s work shift. Clocking in officially registers the beginning of an employee’s work hours, while clocking out marks the end of their work hours, ensuring accurate tracking for payroll and attendance purposes. 

To “clock in” means to log the time when an employee starts their work shift. This is typically done using a timekeeping system, which may include physical time clocks, biometric scanners, or clock-in and clock-out apps.

Conversely, to “clock out” means to log the time when an employee finishes their work shift. Similar to clocking in, this process is recorded through the same timekeeping systems.
