Being "on the clock" is a common phrase California residents and people elsewhere use to mean that they are working. However, it also means that individuals who receive hourly pay have clocked in and are performing their work-related duties. Clocking in is important to hourly workers because that timestamp helps keep up with their hours worked and, essentially, the amount of compensation they have earned between clocking in and clocking out.
