Give Every Time Entry Enough Context

A useful time record connects a person, a date and the work being reviewed. Check missing punches, separate job labor from a whole shift, and resolve uncertain entries before exporting them.

Missing Punches

Review shifts left open or recorded against the wrong date. A timer cannot decide what actually happened on site.

Shared Devices

Kiosk mode supports a shared device. Review the selected employee and recorded entry; a location stamp is not proof of identity.

Entries to Review

Check recorded hours and configured overtime settings before sending records to your payroll process.

Job Labor Context

Compare recorded labor with your estimate. Costs depend on the saved rates and your access to financial details.

Configured Settings

Review break and overtime settings for your business. Software settings and exports do not establish legal compliance.

Lost Timesheets

Keep reviewed digital entries available for your payroll process, with notes for records that need clarification.

Time Records Your Team Can Review

Employees can clock in from a phone or kiosk. When the business enables GPS punches and the device provides a location, PocketBoss stores it with the entry for review.

From Recorded Time to Payroll Review

Capture entries, review them, and export the records for your separate payroll process.

1

Clock In

Record a punch from a phone or kiosk. Location is optional and depends on business settings, permission and device availability.

2

Track Time

Review recorded hours and overtime against the configured settings. Check that the settings fit your business.

3

Review & Fix

See all timesheets at a glance. Add manual entries or correct mistakes.

4

Export for Payroll

Export the reviewed timesheet records. The export does not run payroll or guarantee compliance.

Job Time and a Crew Timesheet Answer Different Questions

How long did this job take?

Jobs and the job timer record work against visits. Completed entries contribute to the visit total, and the job labor view brings together linked visits. Check running timers and duplicate manual entries before using the total.

Included on every plan. Solo is $19.99/month for one user.

Which crew hours need review?

Workforce tools record shifts and breaks, support timesheet review, and export payroll records. Use appropriate permissions and review missing punches, pay rates and configured overtime settings.

Essentials and above: from $29.99/month for up to 5 users. Payroll processing remains separate.

Compare current plans and included users

Recorded time and optional location stamps support a review. They do not prove identity, prevent every error, determine customer charges, or guarantee savings or legal compliance.

Time Tracking for Every Trade

Choose a plan that fits your team: Essentials includes up to 5 users, Pro up to 10, and Boss up to 25. Solo is for one user.

General Contractors

Track multiple crews across job sites. See hours per employee per job. Review CSV compatibility with your payroll process.

Electrical Contractors

Track service calls vs installation work. See apprentice and journeyman hours separately. Keep clean records of who worked what.

Plumbing Contractors

Quick clock-in for emergency calls. Track helper and journeyman hours separately. Review recorded labor against the relevant job.

HVAC Contractors

Keep installation and maintenance visits identifiable, then review recorded hours by employee and job.

Roofing Contractors

Review crew entries alongside job notes. Record context such as a delay yourself; the timer does not infer it.
