"clock" essentially means to perform work and record the amount of time spent. In many situations, you could just say "record". Bruce |

My take on it: "clocked" generally means "achieved" or "registered" - it is a reference to racing "I clocked the horse at 40 miles per hour"-- which means he used his clock (watch or other measuring device) to determine the horse�s speed and the result was... This reference has moved into most forms of racing and into everyday life where it refers to achieving or registering some measurable total (usually) in a competitive kind of way.
In your example it refers to the time clock used to register/record working hours. |

Just to add to what has
already been said:
Phrasal verb � �clock on� =
when workers clock on at a factory or office, they put a special card into a
device to show what time they arrive and �clock out/off� when they leave.
Examples:
They arrived to clock on and
found the factory gates locked.
She had clocked out of her
bank at 5:02 pm using her plastic card. Janet
