I was in the exact same situation - I use Org-mode clocking, and we use
Toggl at our company, so I wrote a simple tool to fire API requests to
Toggl on clock start/cancel/end: https://github.com/mbork/org-toggl
It's a bit more than 200 lines of Elisp, so you might try to look into
it and adapt it to whatever tool your employer is using.

Wow, another awesomewm user here; could you share your code?
