ClockOn

ClockOn is an Australian workforce management platform that combines rostering, time and attendance, payroll, and HR records in a single system.

The main draw for accountants is award interpretation. Modern Award pay rules — penalty rates, overtime, allowances, and shift loadings — are applied automatically from recorded start and finish times, which is the part of Australian payroll most likely to produce errors when handled manually. Time is captured through a mobile app with GPS, a tablet kiosk, or biometric readers, and flows into the pay run without re-keying. Rostering includes drag-and-drop scheduling with reusable templates and live labour cost visibility against the roster.

Pay runs report to the ATO through Single Touch Payroll. The HR side holds employee records, onboarding, visa documentation, work health and safety incidents, and superannuation details.

The platform is built primarily around a single business rather than a firm running payroll across a client portfolio, so it is most relevant to accountants supporting award-heavy clients in hospitality, retail, aged care, and construction. Firms wanting one multi-client bureau dashboard will find KeyPay closer to that model.
