# Clock out

`PATCH /attendance/employees/{employeeId}/entries/clock-out`

Record clock-out for the employee identified by the path. Updates the most recent open clock-in entry for that employee with the given clock-out time. Returns the updated entry ID.

## Path parameters

- `employeeId` string, required

## Request body

- ClockOutRequestBody — Request body for clock-out when using PATCH /attendance/employees/{employeeId}/entries/clock-out (employeeId is in the path).
  - `clockOutTime` string, date-time, required — Clock-out as a **timestamp** (date + time) in date-time format (e.g. ISO 8601).
