One app for the whole workday

The whole workday, in one place.

Your people manage their whole day in one app — see the schedule, clock in from their phone, request time off, and keep up with the work assigned to them. No paper, no calling the office to ask what's next.

Built for every kind of employer — private businesses and public agencies alike, from a corner shop to a city department.

How a day runs

Scheduled, worked, and counted — without re-keying anything.

The same loop whether someone's opening a storefront or finishing a late shift. Every step feeds the next, so the hours that reach payroll are the hours that were actually worked.

1

Build the schedule

Post shifts by role, location, and department. When you need to fill one fast, overtime and open-shift lists do the asking for you — no phone tag.

2

Clock in

Your team punches from a phone or a shared tablet — checked by time and place when you want it. No shared clock to walk to, no paper time sheet to chase down at the end of the week.

3

Do the day's work

Everyone sees what's assigned to them and marks it done — with notes or photos when the work needs a record to stand on.

4

Hours flow to payroll

Time is totaled against your workweek with the right pay codes, approved at period end, and exported in the format your payroll system reads.

What's inside

The timekeeping backbone a real team needs.

Not a generic punch clock bolted onto a spreadsheet. The rules, codes, and leave buckets an hourly workforce actually runs on are first-class.

Scheduling & timecards

Build schedules by role, location, and department; employees clock in and out; the timecard tallies the week automatically and holds for approval at period end.

Overtime done right

Set when your workweek starts and how overtime is figured, so hours come out right the first time — including FLSA and union rules, and comp time for the workforces that bank it.

Time off & accruals

Vacation, sick, personal, and holiday balances that accrue by your rules and show right on the timecard. Requests route for approval instead of living in an inbox.

Pay codes & leave types

Model the codes your payroll actually uses — regular, overtime, holiday, and tagged leave like FMLA — so hours land in the right bucket and stay reportable.

Jobs & fleet

For the teams whose work leaves the building: dispatch jobs, clock in on site, and close out with photos — with the vehicles and equipment behind it tracked in the same app.

Licenses & certifications

A food-handler card, a nursing license, a CDL — tracked against the people who hold them, with expirations you can see before they lapse.

Timekeeping that fits the rules

Your rules, not a vendor's defaults.

Hourly time is governed by the law, your agreements, and your own policies — not a generic HR template. EmployeeBrief lets you set the workweek, the overtime trigger, holiday pay, and the leave buckets the way your organization actually runs them.

  • Define the workweek and overtime threshold your way — FLSA and union rules included.
  • Tag hours by project or grant and keep them as their own codes.
  • FMLA-tagged leave stays separable in reporting and export.
  • Approvals at period end — the way a pay period is meant to close.

For work that leaves the building

Dispatch it, do it, document it.

A service call, a delivery, an install, a repair someone reported — when the work happens away from a desk, it becomes a job you dispatch, your team works on site, and closes out with photos. And the vehicles and equipment behind it live in the same app.

  • Internal and customer requests become dispatched jobs.
  • On-site clock-in is checked against the job location.
  • Before/after photos are the record a work order rests on.
  • Fleet maintenance and pre-trip checks tracked alongside the work.

A phone app your team will actually use.

Most of an hourly team never sits at a computer. EmployeeBrief puts today's shift, clock-in, time-off requests, and the company feed in a phone app — so the schedule and the hours stay current without anyone coming back to the office to do paperwork.

  • Today's shift and clock-in, right in a pocket.
  • Time-off requests and balances without a trip to the office.
  • Announcements and a team feed that reach everyone.
  • Open-shift and overtime offers that go out down the list.

Hours out to your payroll system

The export is the whole point.

Timekeeping only matters if the hours land clean in payroll. EmployeeBrief totals the pay period against your workweek and pay codes and hands off a file your payroll system can read — so no one re-keys a time sheet, and leave and tagged hours arrive already separated.

  • Format-agnostic export — mapped to the layout your system expects, including Munis-compatible output for public agencies.
  • Pay codes carry through — regular, overtime, holiday, and leave.
  • Period approved before it exports — no surprise corrections after the run.

Questions

What buyers usually ask.

Does it export to our payroll system?

Yes. EmployeeBrief totals the pay period against your workweek and pay codes and produces a file mapped to the layout your payroll system reads — including Munis-compatible output for public agencies. The export is format-agnostic, so it's fitted to your system's import rather than forcing you onto ours.

Can it handle our overtime and union rules?

Yes. You define when the workweek starts and how overtime is figured, and set holiday pay and leave rules to match your policies — including the FLSA and any union agreements. Comp time is available for workforces that bank hours instead of paying them.

How does the team clock in without a time clock at every location?

Your team clocks in and out from a phone app, checked against the location when you want it — so there's no shared wall clock to walk to and no paper time sheet to collect. (A shared PIN-kiosk mode for a single device is on the roadmap; mobile punch is what's live today.)

Can we track leave types and tagged hours separately?

Yes. Hours can be tagged by project or grant and kept as their own codes, and FMLA leave is tagged so it stays separable in reporting. Hours draw from the correct balances and arrive already split for accounting.

Do you cover field work and fleet too?

Yes — if you need it. Dispatch jobs, clock in on site, and close out with photos, and track the vehicles and equipment behind that work in the same app. For a team that never leaves the building, you just leave those modules off.

Can managers or customers submit work requests?

Yes. Requests come in with the location, urgency, and a photo, land in one place to triage, and convert into a job assigned to someone on the team.
