What Kloqk does about it

  • Cost codes on the hours

    Pro

    Code hours to a project, grant, fund or event. One report adds them up by code and by person.

  • Supervisor sign-off

    Pro

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

  • Every edit has a name on it

    Free

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

  • One payroll file

    Free

    Hours, breaks and overtime are added up and exported for QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, Gusto and others.

  • Closed pay periods

    Pro

    Close the period before payroll. Nothing changes after that unless someone reopens it, and the reopen is recorded.

  • GPS on phone punches

    Premium

    Where each phone punch was made, job sites by address, and off-site punches flagged or blocked.

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
