Yes. ClockIt connects to ZKTeco, eSSL and NGTeco biometric terminals over the ADMS push protocol, so face, fingerprint, RFID and PIN punches sync to the cloud in real time with no local PC. Employees can also enter a job or project code on the terminal as part of the punch. ClockIt sells compatible terminals as well, so hardware and software come from one vendor.
Managers build schedules by dragging and dropping shifts onto a calendar with month, week, day and list views. Each shift shows the employee's live clock-in status (In, Out or Missed Punch) as it happens, and approved and pending time off appears on the same calendar, so you can schedule around who is actually available. Shift scheduling is included on the free plan.

ClockIt tracks hours against project budgets, applies cost and billable rates per team member, and reports billable versus non-billable time for job costing and client billing.
Yes, on the Pro plan. ClockIt records the GPS location of each punch made in the mobile app, and geofencing restricts clock-ins to your job sites or office locations, on both phones and shared kiosk tablets.

ClockIt prepares payroll data; your payroll provider runs payroll.
ClockIt has 35+ notification types, including late and early clock-ins, clock-in and clock-out reminders, absences, missed punches, overtime warnings, and time off and correction approvals. Each notification can be sent by email, mobile push, browser, Slack or Microsoft Teams, and you choose whether admins, managers or employees receive it.
