DESIGNED FOR REAL WORK
Everything your electrical crew needs;
Everything your electrical crew needs;
nothing they don't.
Whether you run two trucks or 20, OnTheClock helps you see what’s happening with your crew in real time.
Confirm Locations with GPS
Crews clock in as soon as they arrive at the job site. GPS tracking confirms their locations, so you can see exactly who showed up, when they arrived, and where they clocked in -- no more error-ridden time sheets filled out later from memory.
Overtime Alerts
Automatic alerts notify managers when an employee approaches 40 hours. That way, you can catch overtime early and fix the schedule before payroll runs, long before your client ever sees the invoice.
Role-Based Pay Rates
You can set different pay rates for apprentices, journeymen, and master electricians. Once the rates are in place, payroll calculates the correct pay automatically, so you don’t have to make manual adjustments each time.
Job Site Time Reports
Break down labor hours by job, crew, or date range. This helps you see exactly how much time went into each project. With that information, you can understand the true labor cost of each job.
Tamper-Proof Records
Every time someone clocks in or out, the system records the exact time and the employee’s ID. If a client or general contractor ever questions your billing, you have clear records that show exactly who worked and when.
Mobile-First for Field Crews
Field crews can clock in and out directly from their phones, no matter where the job takes them. Hours are recorded in real time, so you always know who is on the clock and where they are working.

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."
