Time clock and hours

Clock the work. Lock the hours. Hand payroll a file — not a mystery.

ShiftSideKick is the authoritative record of punches and hours. Payroll systems import files. We do not become a payroll processor, file taxes, or cut checks.

Employee entering a PIN at a wall-mounted time clock kiosk

Phone or kiosk — one punch writer

Employees punch from My schedule. Shared tablets use a PIN kiosk. Managers can correct with an audit trail. Optional GPS is a location policy, not a separate hours engine.

Unlocked hours cannot be exported. That is deliberate: a CSV with wrong hours is worse than no CSV.

What you download

Free includes the ShiftSideKick canonical hours file after lock. Plus adds Gusto and QuickBooks templates — column mappers over the same hours document, not a second math engine. Hours are hours, not dollars.
