For fire departments

Station clock-ins, corrections and timesheets, checked before payday.

What Kloqk does about it

  • 7(k) work periods

    Pro

    Pick a work period from 7 to 28 days. Overtime is counted past the threshold for that period.

  • Comp time with the caps built in

    Pro

    Overtime banks as comp time at 1.5 hours per hour, up to 240 hours or 480 for public safety. Past the cap it is paid in cash.

  • A photo at every punch

    Free

    Each clock-in and clock-out keeps a photo and a time, so nobody punches for a coworker.

  • Every edit has a name on it

    Free

    A changed punch keeps the old time, the new time, who changed it and why.

  • Supervisor sign-off

    Pro

    Each person signs their period, a supervisor approves it, and payroll gets only approved hours.

  • On-call, call-back and differentials

    Pro

    Night and weekend differentials, on-call pay and minimum call-back hours, paid by the rule.

Free is free for good, with unlimited employees. Pro and Premium are priced per location, not per person, and can be billed by invoice, Net 15. See pricing
