For electricians
Time tracking built for electrical contractors.
A geofence, a GPS radius around the job site, blocks a clock-in from the truck for the electricians you choose. Clox works out daily and weekly overtime for every journeyman and apprentice. You export a payroll file for QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, or Paychex.

The problem Clox solves
Adding up the week by hand, with a public job's overtime rule on top, takes the whole evening.
The hours live on paper timecards and in text threads, and some public jobs add their own overtime rule. Adding it up by hand takes time, and the numbers are rarely exact. Clox records each punch on the phone as it happens and splits regular hours from overtime with each electrician's own thresholds. The week is then ready to export.
What you get
What Clox does for electricians.
Keep track of electricians moving between service calls, residential work, and commercial jobs without paper timecards or end-of-week texts.
A geofence around each panel job
Set a GPS radius around every job site. You choose per employee whether it applies, and for an employee held to it, an off-site clock-in is blocked. Clox reads location at clock-in only.
Daily and weekly overtime are worked out for you
Set each electrician's daily and weekly overtime thresholds and multiplier once, including the daily overtime some public jobs require. Clox splits regular hours from overtime on every timesheet.
Apprentices clock in on a shared tablet
Set up a shared tablet as a kiosk at the trailer. Apprentices clock in with their name and PIN, with nothing to install.
What the manager sees
Timesheets and job sites in the web app.
Your crew's punches become timesheets on their own. In the web app at app.getclox.com, from a computer or phone browser, you see who is on each job site and the hours on every project. There is nothing to key into a spreadsheet.
Timesheets
Approve a week of hours
Clox lays out every shift, break, and overtime hour by week. You fix a wrong punch, close a shift someone forgot to clock out of, and approve the week.
Worksites
See who is on the job site
Set a geofence, a GPS radius around each job site. For the employees you choose, an off-site clock-in is blocked. The check is a deterrent, not a scanner. You see who is on the clock and where. With pay rates set, the Clox app on your phone also shows an estimate of today's labor cost.
How it works
Set up Clox in three steps.
You run Clox from the web app. Your crew clocks in from the Clox app on their phones. Employees without a smartphone clock in with their name and PIN on a shared tablet at the job site, set up as a kiosk.
Sign up and invite your crew
Create your account, then send your crew an invite link by text or email. They sign up and clock in from their own phones.
They clock in and you see the hours
They clock in from their phones or the shared tablet. Clox checks phone clock-ins against the geofence and applies your automatic lunch deduction and overtime rules.
Export the hours for payroll
When payroll is due, export a payroll file for QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, or Paychex. Nothing gets added up by hand.
Questions
Questions about Clox
Will my crew use it?
They open the Clox app and tap Clock in. Employees without a smartphone clock in on the shared tablet with their name and PIN.

How much does it cost?
$29 a month includes your first 3 users, then $6 per user. Every feature is included on every plan. The trial is 14 days with no credit card.
Does it handle overtime and breaks?
Yes. Clox calculates daily and weekly overtime, automatic lunch deductions, and California's daily overtime and double-time tiers.
Can I get the hours into QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, or Paychex?
