How does GPS-verified time tracking work?

Employees clock in from a phone or kiosk, and SmartClock Systems records the GPS location alongside the punch. Locations can be geofenced so punches outside the expected job site are flagged for manager review — hours still get paid, but you can see exactly where every clock-in happened.

Does SmartClock Systems run payroll?

Yes. SmartClock Systems runs full payroll — gross to net, taxes, deductions, pay stubs and direct deposit — straight from approved timecards. If you'd rather keep your existing provider, approved hours, overtime, PTO and lunch deductions also export via our Gusto integration or as a CSV file you can upload to any payroll system.

Can I schedule shifts across multiple locations and time zones?

Yes. SmartClock Systems supports multi-location scheduling with per-location time zone overrides, drag-and-drop shift assignment, open shifts, swaps, and AI-assisted templates.

Does SmartClock Systems offer a free trial?

Yes. You can start a free trial without a credit card. Paid plans are priced per employee per month — see the pricing page for current plan details.

Built for the floor and the back office

Every feature designed around the chaos of variable demand, hourly staff, and multi-location ops.

Kiosk clock-in

Tablet kiosks at every register or back-of-house station. PIN, badge, or photo verification — 3-second punches, zero buddy punching.

Seasonal scheduling

Auto-build schedules from forecasted foot traffic. Surge staffing for holidays, sales events, and weekend rushes — without manual rebuilds.

Shift swaps

Associates trade shifts in-app with manager approval and skill matching. No more group-chat chaos or last-minute no-shows.

Multi-location

One roster, every store. Float staff across locations, share schedules, and report labor cost by region, district, or banner.

Labor cost control

Live labor-vs-sales ratio per store. Alert managers the moment they exceed budget — before payroll posts.

Minor-worker compliance (coming soon)

Planned: auto-enforce state minor-work laws — max hours, school-night caps, and mandatory breaks. Not yet active; on the roadmap.

“Holiday scheduling used to take three managers a full weekend. Now it's one person, one afternoon — and coverage is better.”
