Time tracking for electrical contractors that knows which job the hours went to.
Electricians clock in at the job site, service techs at the customer's panel, and the office sees it immediately. Each punch carries the job and cost code, overtime shows up on Wednesday instead of payday, journeyman and master licenses get expiry alerts, and approved hours export to your payroll provider.

Built around how an electrical job actually runs.
GPS on the punch, by job and cost code.
Electricians clock in on their phone when they arrive at the site and pick the job and cost code. PunchPro records the location at that moment and shows it against the job. Nothing is tracked between sites.
- Job and cost code selected at clock-in
- Switch codes mid-day without clocking out
- Location shown against the assigned job
Bid hours vs. actual hours, while you can still do something about it.
Every punch carries a job and a cost code, so rough-in, wire pulls, trim and service labor roll up separately. Compare actuals to the bid while the job is open, and see overtime by job before it hits payroll.
- Cost codes assigned per job and per electrician
- Hours by job, code and employee, exportable
- Overtime shown by job before payroll
Licenses, OSHA cards and sign-offs that don't expire quietly.
Each electrician's state license, OSHA 10/30, driver's license and safety acknowledgments live on their record with expiry dates. PunchPro alerts you weeks ahead, and new hires sign the handbook and safety policies before their first punch.
- Expiry alerts on licenses and certifications
- Documents filed to each electrician's record
- Handbook and safety policies signed on a phone
Guardrails before you approve. Export to the payroll you already run.
Timecards with missed punches, unexpected overtime or edits are flagged before the period locks, with one-tap fixes and an audit trail. Approved hours export to QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex or Paycom, so nothing changes on the payroll side.
- Configurable guardrails: Off / Warn / Block
- Flagged timecards surfaced first, bulk approval for the rest
- Export to QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, Paycom
Running by the next pay period.
No implementation project. Most teams are set up in an afternoon.

Electrical contractor time tracking questions, answered plainly.
Does PunchPro do estimating or change orders?
No. PunchPro handles people, time, scheduling, PTO, HR and payroll prep. It works alongside your estimating and project software; electricians clock in on PunchPro and the office keeps its existing tools.
Does it track employees all day?
No. Location is recorded at clock-in and clock-out only. PunchPro does not record routes, mileage or where anyone is between punches.
Can electricians switch cost codes during the day?
Yes. An electrician can switch from one job or cost code to another without clocking out, and hours split accordingly.
Does it handle certified payroll for prevailing-wage jobs?
PunchPro gives you hours by employee, job and cost code with an audit trail, which is what certified payroll reports are built from. It does not generate the government forms themselves.
What payroll providers does it export to?
QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, Paycom. You review and approve hours in PunchPro, then export to the payroll you already run.
How much does PunchPro cost for an electrical contractor?
$39.99 per month per business plus $7 per active employee per month, every feature included. A 12-person team is $123.99 per month. 14-day free trial, no credit card.
