Clox

Foreman quick reference

A one-page reference for running your crew in Clox. Print it and keep it in the trailer or job office.

About your role

Manage your crew from app.getclox.com on a computer or phone browser.
Your crew clocks in from their phones using the Clox app or a phone browser.
If your crew shares a device, you can set up a tablet in kiosk mode so everyone clocks in with their own PIN.

At the start of the shift, confirm everyone who should be working has clocked in.
Check any location flags. Yellow means the GPS fix was coarse at clock-in, but the punch still landed inside the fence. Red means Clox detected suspicious location data. Review the punch and ask the employee if needed.
If someone changes jobs during the day, they can tap the project name and choose the new project. They do not need to clock out.
For breaks, employees tap Take break when they leave and End break when they return.
Before the crew leaves, confirm everyone has clocked out.

Review each employee's hours and make sure they match what you expect for the week.
Fix any shifts that are still open or have incorrect times.
Review Pending approvals for time-off requests, shift corrections, and anything else waiting for review.
Check repeated location flags and follow up with the employee when necessary.
Finish corrections and approvals before payroll is processed.

Can't clock in: check the employee's location permission for Clox. If the site Wi-Fi check is on for them, they need to use the Clox app rather than a browser.
No signal: the Clox app works offline. Punches are saved on the phone and sync when it reconnects. The shared kiosk needs a connection.
Wrong project: open the shift in Timesheet, choose the correct project, and save.
Need to fix a shift on site: open Roster in the mobile app, choose the employee and shift, then edit the times.
Correction request waiting: review it from Approvals in the mobile app.
Forgot to clock out: open Timesheet and use Set clock-out on the open shift.
