Employee time clock for hourly teams

Know who is working. Pay them right.

A one-tap employee time clock with a GPS stamp on every punch, schedules that catch no-shows, and a payroll export you never retype. Staff clock in from a phone, a shared tablet, or the web.

One button. No training.

Clock in, take a break, clock out. See the week's shifts, swap one, request PTO, check hours before payday. Nothing to learn, and nothing to install if they'd rather use the browser.

  • Shift reminders and confirmations
  • Swap and open-shift claims from the phone
  • Works offline, syncs when signal returns
What you get

Time, schedules, payroll. No second tab needed.

One-tap clock in

Phone, tablet kiosk, or web. Offline punches sync when signal returns.

GPS on every punch

A location stamp at the moment of the punch, optional geofences per site. Never tracked between punches.

Scheduling that flexes

Recurring templates, open shifts, one-tap swaps, and confirmations with reminders.

Exception inbox

Missed clock-outs, late arrivals, skipped breaks, and overtime creep, in one review queue.

PTO and accruals

Balances, requests, approvals, and availability the scheduler respects.

Payroll-ready export

Approve the week, lock it, export ADP, Gusto, QuickBooks, or CSV. No retyping.

How it works

From sign-up to payroll in three short steps.

01

Invite your team

Drop in names and a phone number, or share an invite link. Roles, departments, and locations take a minute.

02

They clock in

One tap from the app, or a 4-digit PIN at the kiosk. GPS, breaks, overtime, and compliance happen on their own.

03

You run payroll

Review the week. Approve. Export to ADP, Gusto, or QuickBooks. Done in the time it took to read this card.

Payday

Approve the week. Export. Done.

Lock approved hours and export the exact file ADP, Gusto, or QuickBooks imports, or a plain CSV for anything else. Overtime and breaks already applied.

Questions

Answered plainly.

Still curious? Email us, a human replies.

Is ClockOut really free?

Yes. The Free plan covers up to 2 employees forever, with no credit card required. Upgrade to Starter ($3/employee/month) when you grow past two, or to Pro ($5) when you need payroll runs and the compliance engine.

How does the GPS / geofence time clock work?

Employees clock in from the ClockOut app. We capture their coordinates and check them against the geofences you draw around each location. Out-of-bounds clock-ins are blocked or flagged, depending on your settings.

What if my team doesn't have phones?

Use kiosk mode. Mount any tablet at the door, post the kiosk URL, and employees clock in with a 4-digit PIN. No logins, no app installs, no personal devices required.

Can I export payroll to ADP, Gusto, or QuickBooks?

Yes. ClockOut produces payroll-ready CSV files in formats accepted by ADP, Gusto, QuickBooks, and most other major payroll providers. Generic CSV is also available for anything else.

Does it handle overtime and meal-break compliance?

Yes. Configure daily and weekly OT thresholds, mandatory meal periods, rest breaks, and max consecutive days. Violations show up in the Exception Inbox automatically.

How long does setup take?

About a minute. Sign up, name your locations, send invite links to your team, and you're tracking time. Most owners we talk to are running their first payroll within a week.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes, installable from the web on iOS and Android (PWA), no app store download. Push notifications work, and a clock-in or clock-out tapped without signal is saved on the phone and syncs when you reconnect.

Is ClockOut a punch clock app or time clock software?

Both describe the same product. ClockOut works as a timeclock app on each employee's phone, a clock in app for work with GPS-stamped punches, and time clock software for managers who review timesheets and export payroll.

Can ClockOut handle multiple locations?

Yes. Locations have their own geofences, schedules, managers, and rules. The owner sees everything; managers see what's scoped to them.

Your next shift could be the first one tracked properly.

Free for two employees. No card. Upgrade when the team grows.
