# Welcome to OpenTimeClock

OpenTimeClock is a reliable, secure, cloud and web-based time clock system that helps any size business manage time sheets. Our employee time management app was designed to help business owners, bookkeepers, and payroll professionals track employees' time, attendance, paid time off accruals, scheduled shifts, jobs, and shift notes. Our Free Plan is available with unlimited managers and employees with access to all features except reports. 

Open Time Clock allows you to manage your employees' access to the platform by restricting their access to specific networks, devices, or GPS zones. Web camera and face recognition are supported to prevent third parties from punching in and out.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.opentimeclock.com/docs/welcome-to-opentimeclock.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
