Why it matters

Paper time cards lie.

Spreadsheet timesheets are creative writing. Group texts about "who's on site?" get ignored. And payroll Monday is the worst day of every month — every month — for as long as you've been doing this.

What's inside

Hours that match what actually happened.

Every punch verified, every minute attributed, every export payroll-ready.

GPS punch with geofence

Staff clock in from their phone — but only when they're physically at your property. "I forgot to clock out" on a paid Saturday becomes "the system clocked me out when I drove away."

Real-time on-site roster

Open the dashboard and see who's clocked in, where, and what they're working on — cross-referenced with active work orders. The "is the maintenance guy here yet?" thread disappears.

Kiosk mode for shared devices

Mount a tablet at the entrance; staff punch with a PIN and a photo. Faces match badges, and buddy-punching ends — for crews that don't carry personal smartphones.

Payroll-ready exports

CSVs formatted for QuickBooks, ADP, and Paychex — hours, overtime, breaks, and classifications, exactly how your payroll system expects them.

Shift scheduling

Build the week, assign by role, publish to staff phones. Conflicts surface before they become payroll mistakes; staff acknowledge their shifts and you see who hasn't.

Activity audit log

Every punch, edit, and approval — time-stamped, attributed, immutable. The labor-audit trail builds itself.

Staff broadcasts

Push a message to assigned staff. Schedule change today, storm tomorrow — one click to the whole crew, in their language.

Role-based permissions

Owners see everything, property managers see their property, staff see themselves. A janitorial lead doesn't see the maintenance manager's hours — both feed the same export.

Bilingual EN / ES

The entire mobile app, kiosk, and dashboard in Spanish — your maintenance and janitorial crews use it in their language.

Built for the field

For crews that don't sit at desks.

Spanish-speaking maintenance, hourly janitorial, on-call security — the app meets them where they punch.

Mobile-first

The punch is on the phone; the dashboard is for admins.

Bilingual EN / ES

Full Spanish app, prompts, and notifications.

GPS-verified

Geofenced punches, with auto-clockout when staff leave.

Photo-on-punch

Kiosk mode confirms identity — no buddy-punching.

Works better with the suite

One staff record, powering every module.

Your team's clock-in status drives dispatch, attribution, and reporting across SquareKeeper.

Common questions

Employee Manager, answered.

Does it work if our staff don't have smartphones?

Yes — kiosk mode runs on a shared tablet at your office or break room, and staff punch with a PIN and a photo. It handles janitorial crews, day laborers, and anyone you don't want to require a personal phone from.

How accurate is GPS verification?

Punch verification uses device GPS with a configurable radius (typically 100–500 feet). Indoor accuracy can vary, so you can disable the geofence per property and rely on photo or PIN verification instead.

Can we customize overtime rules per state?

Overtime rules are configurable per property — daily OT thresholds (California's 8-hour rule), weekly OT, double-time, and meal/rest break compliance flags. Exports tag OT and double-time as separate line items.

Does it integrate with our payroll provider?

The CSV export is pre-formatted for QuickBooks, ADP, and Paychex, and other providers typically accept the same format. We're happy to walk through your specific setup during the trial.

Can a staff member work at multiple properties?

Yes — set their accessible properties in Settings and they clock into whichever they're at. Hours roll up per property for accurate cost allocation.

What about breaks and California labor compliance?

Meal and rest breaks are tracked via clock-out/clock-in or dedicated break punches, California premium-pay flags appear on the export, and the audit log preserves every edit — which is what a wage-claim audit asks for first.

Can we use it in Spanish?

Yes — the entire mobile app, kiosk, and admin dashboard are bilingual EN/ES. Each user picks their language, and notifications go out in the user's chosen language.
