BUILT FOR THE FIELD
Simple time tracking that makes payroll and job costing easy
Works where your crew works. They clock in on site, and you get the hours you need without chasing anyone.
GPS + Geofencing
Workers can only clock in when they’re actually at the job site. You don’t have to second guess hours or worry about billing the wrong time.
Job & Cost Code Tracking
Each punch ties to the job and task, so hours land where they should. You see labor costs in real time, not after payroll hits.
Mobile Time Clock
Let your team clock in from any device they already carry. No extra steps, no frustration, even on the job.
Automatic Overtime Rules
Overtime rules and state laws are applied automatically, so you can stop worrying about getting it wrong
Photo Verification
A quick photo at punch-in helps confirm who’s on site. It keeps time honest without getting in the way.
One-Click Payroll Export
Send approved timesheets straight to QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, or Paychex. What used to take four hours now takes ten minutes.

FROM REAL PRACTICES
Trusted by electrical crews of all sizes
★★★★★
"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."
