Clock in against the job
Tap clock in when you arrive and clock out when you leave. The hours land against that exact job, not a vague weekly total — so you always know where the time went.
Jobs & Scheduling

Gaffer's time clock lets you and your team clock in and out against jobs from any phone. Every hour is captured against the right job — so labour is costed accurately, timesheets build themselves, and payroll stops being a Friday-night guessing game.

How the time clock works in Gaffer
GPS & time stamped
Each clock event is stamped with the time and location, giving you a clear, honest record of who was on site and when — handy for disputes and proof of attendance.
Whole-team visibility
See who is clocked in right now across every job from the office. No more ringing round to find out where everyone is or whether a job has started.
Automatic timesheets
Clock-in and clock-out events roll straight into per-person and per-job timesheets. The week is already added up before you sit down to do the wages.
Accurate labour costing
Logged hours feed into each job's labour total, so you can see real margin on completed work and quote future jobs with confidence instead of gut feel.
Bill the time you worked
For time-and-materials and day-rate work, recorded hours flow into the invoice — so you bill every hour you actually spent, not a rounded-down estimate.

Common questions about the time clock
How does the team clock in and out of a job?
Each person taps clock in when they start a job and clock out when they finish, straight from the Gaffer mobile app. The time is logged against that specific job so you always know who worked where and for how long.
Does the time clock work without signal?
Yes. The field app is offline-first, so your team can clock in and out on site with no mobile data and every entry syncs automatically once they are back in coverage.
Can I use the recorded hours for invoicing and payroll?
Yes. Logged hours roll up into timesheets and labour totals per job, so you can bill time-and-materials work accurately and export hours for payroll without re-keying anything.
Is the time clock included in the free trial?
Yes. The time clock is part of Gaffer's all-in-one platform and is fully available during the 14-day free trial. No credit card is required to start.
