Punch clock

Worked hours you can trust, from clock-in to payroll.

Real-time overview

See who's clocked in, the moment they do.

Clock-ins land in Shiftbase as they happen. Open the floor view and see who started, who's on a break, and who's running late, without sending a single message.

Forgot to clock out? You'll see it the same day.

A missed clock-out doesn't wait until payroll to surface. Shiftbase flags the gap the same day, so you fix it while people still remember the shift.

Payroll-ready

Surcharges, plus-minus hours, and breaks, already calculated.

Night rates, weekend surcharges, break deductions, and plus-minus balances add up on their own. Worked hours arrive payroll-ready, not as a spreadsheet to untangle.

No. The Kiosk runs in the browser, so any tablet, phone, or computer will do, even an old one. Your team clocks in on it with a PIN. If you'd rather keep a physical clock or POS, you can connect that instead.

Three ways, and you can mix them per location: a shared Kiosk device with a personal PIN, each person on their own phone, or a connected clock terminal or POS.

Yes. Restrict clock-ins to a location with geolocation or a fixed IP address, so hours only start where the work happens.

Shiftbase flags the missing clock-out the same day, not at payroll. You correct it while the shift is still fresh in everyone's mind.

Surcharges, breaks, and plus-minus hours are calculated as clock-ins come in, so worked hours export payroll-ready in one click.
