BUILT FOR FIELD CREWS
Everything a cleaning business needs to track time accurately.
From solo cleaners to 50-person crews across multiple buildings, OnTheClock makes it easy to track every hour, every job, and every location without the usual stress.
GPS-Verified Clock-Ins
See exactly where each cleaner punched in and out. Geofences keep clock-ins tied to the actual job site, not the parking lot down the street.
Per-Job Hour Tracking
Track hours by client, building, or route so you can bill accurately, price the next bid right, and spot jobs that quietly lose money.
Mobile App for Crews
Cleaners clock in from the phone they already carry. No shared kiosk, no paper sheets, no waiting on a supervisor to text in hours.
Stop Buddy Punching
Photo capture and GPS lock-in make it easy to track who’s really on the job, so you’re only paying for the hours actually worked.
Overtime Alerts
Get notified before someone hits 40 hours so you can adjust the schedule instead of dealing with overtime later.
One-Click Payroll Export
Push approved hours straight to QuickBooks, Gusto, or ADP. What used to take a Saturday morning now takes about five minutes.
BEFORE & AFTER
Sound familiar?
If you run a cleaning business, you’ve probably felt every one of these headaches. Here’s how things get easier once you switch.

Every clock-in shows up in one dashboard in real time, tied to the job and ready for payroll.

A cleaner clocks in from the car, then drives 15 minutes to the property and you end up paying for that time.

GPS geofences only let your team clock in once they’re actually on the client’s property.

One crew lead clocks in for everyone, even when half the team is late
✓
Photo verification and individual mobile logins make buddy punching nearly impossible

Per client and job reports show which accounts actually make you money and which don’t

Surprise overtime hits every other Friday, and you only notice after payroll runs.
✓
Real-time overtime alerts help you adjust schedules before anyone hits 40 hours, not after.

Cleaning business owners who got their time back.

"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."

Common Questions
Questions from electrical contractors
A 15-person cleaning business pays about $65/month — that’s $5/month per active employee, with the first two employees free. There are no setup fees, no contracts, and no per-feature upcharges. GPS, geofencing, and payroll exports are all included.
Most cleaning business owners are up and running in under an hour. You add your crew, draw a geofence around each job site, and your team downloads the app. You can run your first payroll the same week.
Yes. OnTheClock pushes approved hours directly to QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Gusto, ADP, Paychex, and SurePayroll. No more typing hours into your payroll system on Friday afternoon.
Will GPS work when my crew is cleaning inside a building with bad signal?
Yes. The app records the GPS location at clock-in and clock-out, and queues punches locally if the signal drops mid-shift. Once the phone reconnects, everything syncs automatically — no lost time.
Yes. The app records the GPS location at clock-in and clock-out, and queues punches locally if the signal drops mid-shift. Once the phone reconnects, everything syncs automatically — no lost time.
OnTheClock only records location when an employee clocks in or out — not while they’re off the clock and not in between punches. You see where work happened, not where your crew lives or shops.
Yes. You can mix W-2 employees and 1099 contractors on the same account, with different pay rates per person and per client. Part-time, on-call, and fill-in cleaners all use the same simple mobile app.
Each cleaner has their own login on their own phone, with optional photo capture at clock-in. Combined with GPS verification, it’s nearly impossible for one person to punch in for another without you knowing.
No contracts. Cancel anytime from your account settings — you keep access through the end of the month you paid for. Most cleaning businesses stay because the math works, not because they’re locked
