Can BetterDesks track late arrivals and early departures?
Yes, BetterDesks stores scheduled times and actual clock-in/clock-out times on timesheets, so managers can compare them during review. Automated lateness alerts are not part of BetterDesks today.

Detailed answer
Each timesheet can include scheduled start and end times, actual clock-in and clock-out times, raw worked minutes, rounded worked minutes, payable minutes, and status. That gives reviewers the data needed to spot late arrivals, early departures, and missed clock-outs.
BetterDesks also reports missing attendance and unmatched schedules, which helps managers find schedule/attendance gaps.
If a record needs correction, admins and schedulers can edit actual times on unapproved timesheets or close active missed clock-outs.
Example
A cleaner is scheduled from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM but clocks out at 9:42 PM. The manager sees the scheduled and actual times in the timesheet review workflow and decides whether the record needs correction, rejection, or approval.
How BetterDesks helps
BetterDesks keeps scheduled and actual attendance data together so managers do not have to reconcile that information from separate systems.
