About

Crew Clock

Features
Read full description

Crew Clock is a time clock for field crews that proves every punch. Your crew clocks in and out by scanning a printed QR sign at the shop. The phone checks its location against the sign at that moment. Too far away, and the punch is refused with the distance shown. No scan, no punch. No buddy punching, no rounding, no "I forgot." FOR THE CREW • One button: Scan QR code. Clock in or out in seconds. • See the current shift ticking, today's hours, and this week's hours. • Works with no signal. Punches wait on the phone and send when service returns. • Forgot to clock out? Request a fix with a reason. A manager approves it. • English and Spanish, switchable on any screen. FOR OWNERS AND MANAGERS • Dashboard: who's on the clock now, days left in the pay period, and a list of what needs attention. • Team: approve joins with a company code, set pay rates only the owner can see, reset phones. • Stations: create a station from where you're standing, set the allowed distance, print the QR sign. • Reports: exact minutes per pay period, overtime figured per workweek, two CSV exports for payroll. • Pay periods: weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly, with the overtime workweek kept separate. • Lock a period after payroll. Locked time can't change, and a backup copy is stored independently. • Audit trail: every change, forever. Nothing is deleted. HOW IT STAYS HONEST • Every punch records the station scanned, the GPS distance, and the accuracy. • Records are never edited in place; corrections are approved and logged with names. • Owners sign in with email or username; crew with username and password. Reinstall the app and sign right back in. Made for landscaping, construction, cleaning, and any crew that starts the day at a yard or shop.
