Getting set up as an employee

Accept your invite, install Clox, and clock in for your first shift.

Your company uses Clox to track work hours. Once you're set up, you'll use your phone to clock in and out, take breaks, check your schedule, and review your hours.

Get the Clox app
Install Clox from the App Store on iPhone or Google Play on Android. You can also use Clox from your phone's browser at app.getclox.com.

1. Accept your invite

Your manager will send you an invite by email, text, or another messaging app.

Open the invite and tap Continue to sign up. Your email is already filled in. Create a password, then open the confirmation email from Clox and tap the link. When you first sign in, Clox adds you to your company.

2. Get the Clox app

Install Clox from the App Store on iPhone or Google Play on Android.

Open it once it's installed. If you'd rather not install it, use app.getclox.com in your phone's browser.

3. Sign in

Sign in with the email shown on your invite and the password you created.

In the Clox app, you'll land on the clock screen with the Clock in button. In a browser, you'll land on Today.

4. Clock in

  1. If Clox asks you to choose a project, pick the one you're working on.
  2. Tap Clock in.
  3. Work your shift. You can close Clox and the timer will keep running.
  4. When you're done, open Clox and press and hold Hold to clock out until the button fills. In a browser, tap Clock out instead.

Clox also works with no signal. The punch is saved on your phone and sent to Clox once the phone has a signal and Clox is open, within a day of the punch.

For most shifts, that's all you need to do.

You can also take breaks, switch projects, check your schedule, and see your hours in Clox.

If Clox asks for your location or a photo

Your company may require a location check or photo when you clock in.

If Clox asks for your location, allow it when your phone asks. If it asks for a photo, take one.

Your company may also require the job site's Wi-Fi when you clock in. If so, connect to that Wi-Fi and clock in from the Clox app. A browser can't check which Wi-Fi network you're on.

What you can do in Clox

As an employee, you can:

  • Clock in and out
  • Take breaks
  • See your own timesheet and past shifts
  • Check your schedule
  • Request time off at app.getclox.com
  • Ask for a correction if a shift is wrong

You can't change company settings, and you can't see other employees' hours unless your manager gives you access to the Team page.
