A clock-watcher is someone who keeps looking at the clock instead of doing his work. It needn’t be an employee. It could be anyone. A student could be a clock-watcher as well.
Examples: “My father says that there are five clock-watchers in his department.” * “You stop being a clock-watcher when you are working on a crossword puzzle, though. You’ve been sitting with that one for two hours now”
