Time tracking for remote and hybrid teams

The shift to remote and hybrid work has transformed how businesses operate—but it’s also introduced new challenges, especially when it comes to tracking employee time and attendance.

Without the structure of a physical office, it’s easy for hours to blur, productivity to dip, and accountability to become a grey area. For employers, this can mean inaccurate payroll, reduced visibility, and a lack of clarity around team performance. That’s where our clocking-in app steps in.

How clocking in apps help with compliance

Clocking-in apps help Australian businesses meet labor law requirements by ensuring accurate, real-time tracking of employee work hours, which is essential under the Fair Work Act 2009 and Fair Work Regulations 2009.

These laws require employers to maintain precise records of start and finish times, breaks, and overtime for all employees. Clocking-in apps, like Blip, automate this process, reducing the risk of manual errors and ensuring that employees are paid correctly for the hours they work

How do employees clock in remotely?

Designed specifically for the demands of modern work environments, cloking in apps offer a seamless, intuitive way to track time across distributed teams.

Employees can clock in and out from anywhere—whether they’re working from home, a co-working space, or the office—using just their phone or desktop. With built-in features like geolocation, automated time logs, and real-time reporting, managers gain instant insight into who’s working, when, and for how long, reducing the risk of time theft. No more chasing timesheets or second-guessing attendance.

But it’s not just about oversight—it’s about trust. App's like Blip, help foster a culture of transparency and accountability, where employees feel empowered to manage their time responsibly, and employers can make informed decisions based on accurate data. Employees can clock in and out with a tap, while managers gain instant visibility into attendance patterns, overtime, and productivity metrics.
