Stewardship Means Clean Records, Not Big Systems
Nonprofits answer to boards and grantors, and staff time is often the largest budget line. Clean hour records do double duty: payroll accuracy, and the timesheet documentation grant-funded positions frequently require. A free time clock fits the budget reality — every dollar saved on admin software is a dollar for the mission.
The volunteer-vs-employee line deserves care: genuine volunteers don't punch a clock, but paid part-time staff do, and 'we're all here for the cause' doesn't waive minimum wage or overtime for employees.
Grant Reporting from Punch Data
When a grant funds 50% of a coordinator's time, the funder eventually asks for the records. Hour reports by employee and date range turn that request from a reconstruction project into an export.
Nonprofits & Churches Time Tracking: Frequently Asked Questions
Do nonprofits have to pay overtime?
Yes — nonprofit status doesn't exempt an organization from the FLSA. Non-exempt employees earn overtime like anywhere else.
Should volunteers use the time clock?
Generally no for true volunteers; but track paid staff fully. Blurring the two creates wage liability.
What's a good free time clock for a church or nonprofit?
Kloqk — the core time clock is genuinely free with unlimited staff, which suits mission budgets.
