One of my employees experienced an injury in the work environment before they had "clocked in" for the day. They just started their work a little early. Is the case considered work related even if that employee was not officially "on the clock" for pay pu

Yes. For purposes of OSHA recordkeeping, injuries and illnesses occurring in the work environment are considered work-related. Punching in and out with a time clock (or signing in and out) does not affect the outcome for determining work-relatedness.
