Manufacturing
Manufacturing payroll is uniquely complex — shift differentials, union rules, high-traffic shift changes, and multi-facility operations. EasyClocking handles all of it with biometric time clocks and software built for oily hands, harsh conditions, and the demand for accuracy that factory teams deserve. Up to 99.9% accuracy (manufacturer specifications).
Trusted by 10,000+ teams in America's toughest industries
Fair records by design
Biometric clocks verify every punch by identity — not PINs or badges that can be shared. The process can't be gamed by workers or managers. Both sides held to the same standard.
20+ payroll integrations
One-click sync to ADP, QuickBooks, Workday, and more. The same data that records the punch generates the paycheck — no re-entry, no transposed digits, no honest mistakes.
Shift differentials handled
Automatic pay rate adjustments for day, evening, overnight, and weekend shifts.
Rugged industrial hardware
Proven in dusty, wet, oily, and extreme-temperature factory conditions.
Days, not months
Simple wall mounting, PoE or WiFi connectivity — most facilities are live within days.
The Challenge
Day, evening, overnight, weekend — each shift carries a different rate. Manual tracking across 2-3 shifts with union and non-union workers creates payroll errors every cycle. Workers end up with the wrong paycheck through no fault of their own.
How EasyClocking Solves It
EasyClocking automatically applies the correct pay rate by shift, department, and union agreement. The 700 and 500 handle high-volume shift changes on the factory floor — workers clock in and the system does the math.
The Challenge
FLSA rules, state labor laws, union agreements, and production deadlines collide. Without real-time visibility, overtime costs spiral before anyone notices — and overtime access often goes to whoever the supervisor knows best, not whoever earned it.
How EasyClocking Solves It
Real-time overtime alerts notify managers before thresholds are crossed. EasyClocking calculates overtime based on FLSA, state laws, and your union rules simultaneously — no spreadsheet juggling.
The Challenge
Production orders drive labor demand. When schedules change, workforce allocation needs to follow — but paper timesheets and manual processes can't keep up. Workers get assigned unfairly, or miss opportunities for premium shifts.
How EasyClocking Solves It
Built-in scheduling with auto-assign and swap management lets you reallocate workers as production demands shift. Job costing by department, work order, and production line gives you real-time labor visibility.
Every feature designed for plant managers, payroll teams, and HR directors managing shift-based, multi-facility manufacturing operations.

EasyClocking biometric time clocks use multispectral fingerprint sensors that read below the surface of the skin, so dust, oil, grease, and moisture don't affect accuracy. They're rated for industrial environments and consistently deliver up to 99.9% read rates on factory floors (based on manufacturer specifications).
Yes. EasyClocking offers one-click export to ADP, QuickBooks, Workday, Paylocity, BambooHR, and 20+ other payroll systems. Time data flows directly into your payroll without manual re-entry or file reformatting.
EasyClocking supports unlimited shift configurations with automatic pay rate adjustments for differentials. Workers can clock in at any terminal, and the system assigns the correct shift, department, and rate based on their schedule and job assignment.
Many manufacturers see payback within the first few months. Inaccurate time records cost the average company 2-5% of gross payroll, and manual timesheet errors can add up to $2,300 per employee annually. Biometric clocks create accurate records by design — fair for workers and reliable for payroll.
Yes. EasyClocking is designed with biometric privacy compliance in mind, including BIPA (Illinois), CUBI (Texas), and similar state regulations. Fingerprint templates are encrypted and stored securely — actual fingerprint images are never retained.
Most manufacturing facilities are fully operational within days, not months. EasyClocking provides guided onboarding, and the hardware is designed for simple wall mounting with PoE or WiFi connectivity — no complex IT infrastructure required.
EasyClocking is part of the WorkEasy Software family of time tracking tools.
