What is OnTheClock?

OnTheClock is simple, cloud-based employee time clock and payroll software for small businesses that need an easier way to manage hourly employees. The platform connects time tracking, employee scheduling, attendance, paid time off (PTO), and payroll, so employees, managers, and business owners can complete everyday tasks without complicated training or disconnected systems. For employees, clocking in and out is easy using a smartphone, web browser, or shared time clock kiosk. Workers can review their hours, view schedules, and request time off. For managers, OnTheClock makes it straightforward to correct missed punches, approve timecards, monitor attendance, track overtime, and see hours worked by job or department. Administrators get accurate time records and a direct path from approved hours to paychecks. Time clock capabilities include GPS location tracking, geofencing, fingerprint biometrics, and IP restrictions. Scheduling, PTO accrual management, and job costing give businesses greater visibility into staffing and labor costs. With built-in payroll, OnTheClock lets employers pay hourly and salaried workers by direct deposit. It also calculates, files, and pays payroll taxes on their behalf. Businesses can instead keep their existing payroll provider and use integrations with QuickBooks, ADP, Gusto, Square, Thomson Reuters, Paychex, Sage, and Paylocity. Founded in 2004, OnTheClock serves 16,000 businesses and approximately 160,000 employees, with access to real U.S.-based support by phone, chat, and email. It's designed for industries including construction, restaurants, retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and field services.

What is InStaff?

InStaff is an employee self-service portal for businesses that still hand out paper paystubs. Employees get their pay history, tax forms, timesheets, time-off requests, documents, and expenses in one place, on any device. It sits alongside your existing payroll rather than replacing it, delivering your PDF paystubs as-is and sorting them to the right employee automatically. Compatible with Sage 300, QuickBooks, Viewpoint Vista, Deltek Costpoint, and any system that produces PDF pay documents. Common in construction, manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, retail, and staffing. 400,000+ employees onboarded, most teams live within a few weeks, 14-day free trial, and free support on every plan.

Additionally, the portal includes an employee directory, organizational charts, company announcements, and survey functionalities, all in one convenient location. InStaff offers modular pricing, allowing users to activate only the features they need and expand as necessary. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified, provides multi-factor authentication at no additional cost, and complies with PIPEDA regulations. It supports multiple languages, including English, French, and Spanish, and is accessible through any web browser without requiring app installation.

Pay Stub Generators

InStaff does not create paystubs; instead, it utilizes the paystubs generated by your existing payroll system. Simply upload the PDF from your payroll processing, and InStaff will automatically organize, divide, and distribute each stub to the correct employee without altering the original document created by your payroll software. Employees can access their complete payment history and tax documents at any time, from any web browser, eliminating the need for reprint requests that typically burden the payroll department each pay cycle. The default retention period for these records is seven years. InStaff is compatible with any payroll system that produces PDF paystubs, including but not limited to Sage 300, Sage 300 CRE, Sage 50, Sage 100, QuickBooks Desktop and Online, Viewpoint Vista, Viewpoint Spectrum, Deltek Costpoint, Foundation, and Microsoft Dynamics NAV. If your payroll system isn’t listed but generates PDF paystubs, it is likely still compatible. There’s no need to change your payroll processing, and there’s no requirement for manual data entry into another system.
