Job site time clock, without the hardware
Add a job site by address with the days it runs. Every punch from the crew's phones is matched to the site they were on, and hours come out by site for payroll and invoices.

No Box on the Wall
Nothing to buy or mount. A site is an address, a radius and two dates, added in a minute from a phone.
Matched, Not Assigned
Whoever punches inside a live site's radius is stamped with it. Three crews on three jobs need three addresses and nothing else.
Hours by Site
Timesheets, the payroll export and the day view show hours per job site, with overtime attributed to where it was worked.
Sites Close Themselves
A job past its last day stops catching punches. The history keeps the site's name; the same address can be reused for the next job.
Frequently asked questions
What is a job site time clock?
A time clock that records hours against the place the work happened. Each job site has an address, a radius and dates; phone punches inside the radius are stamped with that site so payroll and invoices show hours by job.
Do I need hardware at each job site?
No. Crews punch from their own phones and the location proof comes from the phone. A free tablet clock is available for a yard or shop where a shared screen makes sense.
What happens if someone punches away from the job site?
The punch is recorded and flagged off-site with the street address it came from, for a manager to accept or query. A business can switch this to block such punches instead.
How much does it cost?
GPS job sites are part of Premium at $59 per location per month, unlimited employees, with a 30-day trial that begins on the first phone punch. The office tablet clock is free at one location.

What a job site time clock is
A job site time clock records hours against the place the work happened, not just the company. Instead of one clock in one building, the business keeps a list of job sites, each with an address, a radius and the days it runs, and every punch a worker makes from their phone is matched to the site they were standing on. Payroll then shows hours by site, and a customer invoice can carry the hours the crew actually spent there.
Two ways to run it, and why we do both
The rugged-hardware approach puts a weatherproof clock in a box at each site, with badges or a keypad. It works, and it costs several hundred dollars per site plus a monthly fee, which is why it suits a six-month commercial build and not a roofer with a new address every Monday. The phone approach uses the crew's own devices: no hardware, sites added in a minute, and the location proof comes from the phone. Kloqk is the phone approach, with a free tablet clock for the yard where a shared screen makes sense.
Setting up a job site takes one minute
- Open Job Sites in the dashboard (phone or laptop), type the job name and the address from the work order.
- Set the first and last day. Leave the last day blank for an open-ended job.
- Keep the 150-metre radius or widen it for a large lot. The address is placed on the map for you.
- Tell the crew to punch from their phones as usual. Anyone inside the radius on a live day is stamped with the site.
Punches made outside every live site are flagged with their street address for a manager to accept, or blocked, per your setting. A job with punches on it is closed when it ends, never deleted, so the history keeps its name. The same address can be added again for the next job at that property.
What the office gets
- A day view: which sites were live, who punched at each, and the off-site punches, with map links.
- Hours by location on the timesheet and in the payroll export, with overtime attributed to the site where it was worked.
- A record of every off-site decision: the flag, the address, who accepted it and when.
- Managers can add sites (a permission you can switch off), so the foreman enters tomorrow's address from the truck.
