BUILT FOR THE FIELD
Everything you need to keep labor clear, accurate, and under control
Built for crews moving between job sites, dealing with rough conditions, and working even when signal drops.
GPS + Geofence Clock-Ins
Set a job site boundary and only pay for time worked on-site. No more wondering if someone clocked in from the truck or down the road.
Job & Cost Code Tracking
Crews clock in to the proper job and cost code, so labor is tracked correctly from the start — not guessed later.
Never Lose Job Details
Add notes as work happens. Capture job details, issues, and updates so nothing gets missed and everyone stays on the same page.
Photo Punch
Put an end to buddy punching for good. Face photo verification works even on messy job sites.
Overtime & Prevailing Wage
Automatically calculate overtime, double time, and multi-rate pay, so you don’t find out you lost money after payroll.
One-Click Payroll Export
Approved hours flow straight into QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, Paychex, or OnTheClock's in-house payroll solution, so payroll that used to take hours is done in minutes.
BEFORE & AFTER
Sound familiar?
Most construction owners deal with the same headache: missing hours, messy timecards, and constant guesswork. Here’s what changes when you finally switch to GPS-verified time tracking.

Every punch shows up instantly. No more chasing crews on Friday afternoon.

You’re wasting five to 10 hours every week re-entering paper time sheets into payroll.
✓
Send approved hours to QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, or Paychex in one click, so payroll goes from a half day to just a quick break.
✕
Prevailing wage jobs get complicated quickly, and one wrong rate can cost you in an audit.

Multi-rate pay and prevailing wages are handled automatically for each job, cost code, and certification, so you don’t have to double-check.
✕
You know time is slipping, but you can’t prove it.
✓
Photo capture and fingerprint options stop buddy punching before it starts, with a date-stamped photo tied to every punch.
HOW IT WORKS
Get your team up and running quickly
From the first punch to payroll-ready reports, OnTheClock works the way your crew does on real job sites, even with a weak connection signal.
01 — Clock In
Punch in from anywhere on the job site
Your crew can clock in from their phones, a shared jobsite kiosk, or a fingerprint reader in the shop. GPS and photo capture confirm who’s working and where, so you’re not second-guessing hours later.

FROM REAL CONTRACTORS

★★★★★
"I looked at quite a few time card systems - including ones that were more expensive. OnTheClock was the best bang for the buck. I love how employees have it on their phone for easy punch in and punch out. Add tasks to know what people are working on and attribute time to it. If someone forgets to punch in or out, it is easy to fix and have hours recalculate. This is an excellent tool for keeping track of employee and contractor hours."
