For city finance directors and clerks
Run payroll on hours a supervisor actually approved.
Paper sheets come in late, a supervisor is out in a truck, and payroll has a deadline. Kloqk gets every department's hours to you signed off, added up and locked before the run.

Sign-off by every employee and supervisor
ProEach person signs their timesheet for the period, then a supervisor approves it. You see who is still missing.
Closed pay periods
ProClose the period before payroll runs. After that no punch or leave can change unless someone reopens it, and the reopen is recorded.
Every edit has a name on it
FreeA changed punch keeps the old time, the new time, who changed it and why. The Adjustments report lists them all for the period.
One payroll file
FreeHours, breaks and overtime are added up and exported in the format QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, Gusto and others import.
Rules live in the system
FreePay periods, overtime and break rules are settings, not a spreadsheet only one person understands. History of every settings change is kept.
