Clox has two sides: managers set up the work and review the hours, while employees clock in and out. At the end of the week, you approve the hours and send them to payroll.
The two roles
Managers and owners use the web app at app.getclox.com to run Clox. You can set up projects and worksites, invite your crew, create schedules and pay rules, review and correct hours, approve timesheets, and export payroll. You can also manage shifts, schedules, and approvals from the mobile app when you're away from your computer.
Crew members clock in and out from their phones. They can take breaks, switch jobs during a shift, see their schedule and past shifts, and request a correction if something is wrong. Clox also works offline and syncs when the connection returns.
The three ways to clock in
Most crews use the Clox app. The other options are useful when employees work at a computer or share a device.
- Clox app on a phone. The standard option. Each employee installs Clox, signs in, and taps Clock in. The app works offline and syncs when the connection returns.
- Web browser. Employees can clock in at app.getclox.com from a computer or phone browser. This works well for office staff or anyone who already works at a computer. If you require the job site's Wi-Fi for clock-in, Clox won't let that employee clock in from a browser, because a browser can't verify the Wi-Fi network. They clock in from the Clox app or the shared kiosk instead.
- Shared tablet kiosk. Set up one tablet at the job site and let employees clock in with their own PIN. You can also require a clock-in photo. Kiosk punches don't record any location. They rely on the tablet being at the site and each employee's PIN.
How it fits together
- Set up Clox. Sign up at app.getclox.com, name your company, and add your projects and worksites.
- Invite your crew. Send each employee an invite. They create their account and join your workspace.
- Your crew clocks in. Employees use the Clox app, a browser, or a shared kiosk.
- Their hours appear in Clox. Punches sync as they happen. If a phone or browser is offline, Clox saves the punch and syncs it when the connection returns. The shared kiosk needs a connection to record a punch.
- Review and approve the week. Fix anything that needs correcting, approve the hours, and send them to payroll.
