Is ClockShark DCAA-compliant?
Being DCAA compliant is not a certification, but rather a set of guidelines. It’s important to note that compliance relies on the users to follow these guidelines. However, you can offer more protection by choosing a system that is user-friendly, allows for accurate and detailed reporting, and offers features that help you stay compliant when used properly.
ClockShark offers features that allow your team to stay DCAA compliant. Our system tracks all of the necessary labor hours in real-time and allows you to easily create the necessary job codes. Details and accurate reporting will quickly provide you any information you may need for hours and cost projections.
When you have the right tools available, staying compliant is easier. ClockShark offers the right features to make it easy for your employees, supervisors, and administrative staff to follow DCAA guidelines.
Employee time tracking
With ClockShark, employees can easily track their daily hours, and you have the ability to send reminders to employees to clock in right from their mobile time-tracking app.
Once an employee has submitted their timesheet for review, the approval process is safe and secure. Contractors can designate managers who can review and approve hours. Any approved timesheets are locked to protect against edits from any staff that does not have appropriate permission. If there are any additional edits or changes made later, these are all saved in the system and documented.
Accurate hours you can trust and detailed reporting and documentation will keep your time tracking in compliance.

Sick and leave vacation
ClockShark not only tracks all paid time off (PTO) and sick leave for compliance purposes, but the system makes it easy for both your employees and accounting team to track as well. Our policy builder allows you to enter how much time is issued, how quickly it should accrue, waiting periods, and maximum balance limits. It takes about 90 seconds to enter your plan, and from there it automatically applies your policy to any employee in your system.
Both your accounting team and employees can see how much time they have used, as well as how much is available to them. Employees can request time off right through the app, and once approved any time off will also show up on a job schedule. This makes scheduling simple, and it takes the guesswork out of tracking any paid leave for auditing purposes.

Overtime
Tracking overtime has never been easier with ClockShark. Managers can easily enter any overtime rules that will automatically be applied to employee hours. Even if your overtime policy is unique, ClockShark makes it simple to set up the parameters. These rules can be changed at any time and can be applied to both past and future hour entries. Because the rules are applied automatically, there are no calculating hours and they are available daily.
All labor hours must be accounted for in order to be compliant with DCAA guidelines. This feature allows you to not only track labor hours accurately, but it also eliminates the possibility of calculation errors in pay. This becomes especially important when you have both employees that either make different wages or who are paid differently (hourly versus salaried). In the event of an audit, you will need to have records of both labor costs and total hours. With ClockShark’s customizable overtime tracking features, they have you covered.
Reporting
Data is at your fingertips with ClockShark. You have the ability to pull time reports for not only payroll, but for job costing, labor codes, overtime, and more. These reports are easily configurable, allowing you to pull data in whatever context you need. Options range from generic reports that cover basic information to reports that drill down on very specific items such as individual employee hours, hours for certain job codes, and more.
Additionally, you have the ability to easily integrate these reports into your bookkeeping software. This eliminates both the need for time spent on data entry, as well as the margin of error that comes with transposing labor hours. Having quick access to detailed reports will allow you to show accurate labor hours and costs in the event of an audit.
