Punch tracks your team's hours from punch in to payroll ready, in one app. Your crew punches in and out with a tap. You review the pay period. Payroll is ready. No spreadsheets, no paper timesheets, no guessing who worked when. And all of this verified data flows seamlessly into CRMb, once paired. Try Punch free. Every feature is on every plan, forever. You pay one flat price for your whole organization at every plan size. Punch in where it counts. Add optional geofenced job sites and an iPhone punch in only counts at the right place, so paid hours are worked hours. Punch in and out anywhere the work is done. Your schedule, in the app you punch from. If your company also runs CRMb, our companion app for scheduling and jobs, employees see their next two weeks of assigned shifts under My Shifts. Tap one for the customer, the job, the job site with its address, and the scheduler's notes - perfect for dispatch. One iPad for the whole crew. Kiosk mode turns a shared iPad into a punch station: pair it once and everyone punches in with their name and a PIN. QuickBooks Online and Square, built into the app. Connect either one, map your people, and push a whole pay period of approved hours straight through, no double entry. Re-exporting never creates duplicates. Approve in one tap. Review shifts, approve or reject a whole pay period at once, and mark it paid. Add a shift when someone forgot to punch, move it to the right job site, split it across sites or shifts, or delete it. Roles that fit how you work. Managers approve their own crew, and a senior manager can oversee other managers and their teams. Hand payroll to a dedicated Payroll role that marks the ready periods paid and cannot approve or reject a shift. Same with the Accounting role. Paid time off that accrues. Punch tracks balances that build with tenure across vacation, sick and personal time. Commission, bonuses, and paid travel. Employees log sales with a tap, managers approve them, and approved sales pay out with the pay period, a percent of sales or an amount per unit. Owners add bonuses by pay period, month, quarter, or year. Record in-transit time as its own shift with its own rate. Punch counts all of it toward overtime. Overtime and pay, done for your country. Pick your country at signup and Punch attaches your local overtime rules automatically, across 60 countries, and bills you in your own currency in 35 of them. Coverage spans the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Ireland, 20 countries of the euro area, the Nordics, central and eastern Europe, India, Brazil, Japan, Korea, southeast Asia, Australia, all six Gulf states, and Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Chile. Pay periods land on any day you choose, weekly or bi-weekly. Run more than one company. Switch organizations from your account and the whole app follows, notifications included. Rename an organization, or delete one you no longer need. Works on iPhone, iPad, and the web, offline too: punches, lunches, and requests sync the moment service returns. Available in Spanish and Canadian French. Punch también está disponible en español. Punch parle aussi français (Québec). Owners get unlimited job and project sites, pay rates by hour, salary, or location, and exports to CSV, Excel, or PowerPoint. Employees get a tap to punch, their lunch, their shifts, their time off, and their own export. Built for accountability and privacy. Every change is recorded with a reason and the manager who made it. No background tracking, no photo on punch, and no facial recognition. Plans for every size, every feature on every one: Punch Solo: 1 member Punch Startup: up to 3 members Punch Crew: up to 5 members Punch Team: up to 10 members Punch Company: up to 20 members Punch Premier: up to 50 members Punch Scale: up to 100 members More than 100 members runs on Punch Enterprise, managed from your Punch account on the web.
