Payroll Review & Timecard Approval Software

Payroll review

Close every pay period with confidence.

Every employee, their hours and gross pay in one view. Configurable guardrails watch every punch for missing clock-outs, skipped breaks and hours creeping toward overtime. Before you export, you see exactly what was caught, what's fixed, and what's ready to go.

Sound familiar?

The payroll-day scramble.

✕

Chasing timesheets

Half the crew's hours arrive Monday morning. The other half arrive after you've asked twice.

✕

Fixing punches by memory

A missed clock-out Thursday becomes "probably 3:30?" on payday.

✕

Retyping into payroll

Hours copied from one screen to another, by hand, every two weeks. One typo is a wrong paycheck.

✕

Hoping the numbers are right

You send payroll and find out next week what was missed. The fix costs more than the error.

Payroll review in PunchPro

Set the rules once. PunchPro catches what you'd otherwise miss.

Guardrails

Configurable timecard rules: Off, Warn or Block.

Twelve rules watch every punch for the things that turn into payroll problems — missing punches, skipped breaks, hours creeping toward overtime, punches far from the assigned site, edited timecards. Set each one to Off, Warn or Block, so your review matches how your business actually runs.

  • Missing clock-in/out, long shifts, short breaks, early/late punches
  • Overtime threshold, off-site punch, edited timecard, unscheduled work
  • Warn flags it for review; Block holds the timecard until it's fixed
Review

Every pay period in one view — employees, hours, gross pay.

Open the period and see every employee with regular hours, overtime, PTO and gross pay at the current rate from their record. Clean timecards approve in bulk in seconds. Anything the guardrails caught is front and center with a one-click fix, and every fix is logged.

  • Weekly, biweekly or semimonthly periods
  • Bulk approve clean timecards; work the flagged list
  • Full audit trail: who changed what, when
What happens after the punch
Export

Approve → export → import. PunchPro doesn't replace your payroll provider.

The moment a period is approved, download payroll-ready hours and import them into the system you already run payroll on. PunchPro prepares the numbers — regular, overtime, PTO, by employee and cost code — and your provider calculates pay, withholds taxes and pays people.

  • Export formats for QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex and Paycom
  • Hours by employee, and by job and cost code when you need them
  • Period locks after export so numbers don't drift

All period long

Problems surface on Wednesday, not payday.

Guardrails don't wait for the end of the period. Overtime building, a missed punch, an off-site clock-in — they show on your daily checklist the day they happen, so by the time you open payroll review there's usually nothing left to fix.

  • Overtime projected from remaining shifts
  • Missed punches fixed the same day
  • Time off reconciled as it's approved

What accurate hours are worth

Padded minutes add up.

Ten employees padding ten minutes a day at $22/hr is roughly 35 hours a month — about $770 — before a single admin hour is counted. Try your own numbers.

Illustrative — assumes 21 workdays per month. Your numbers depend on how time is tracked today.

Common questions

Payroll review, answered plainly.

Does PunchPro replace my payroll provider?

No — it prepares your payroll. PunchPro collects, reviews and approves hours, then exports payroll-ready data you import into QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, Paycom or another provider. Your provider calculates pay, withholds taxes and pays people.

Do I have to switch payroll providers to use PunchPro?

No. PunchPro works alongside your existing payroll system; most teams keep exactly what they have.

What are guardrails?

Twelve configurable timecard rules — missing punches, skipped breaks, overtime threshold, off-site punch, edited timecard and more. Each can be set to Off, Warn (flag for review) or Block (hold the timecard until fixed).

How do fixes work?

Flagged timecards show the problem and a one-click correction — add the missing clock-out, confirm the off-site punch, adjust a break. Every fix is logged with who made it and when.

Which pay periods are supported?

Weekly, biweekly and semimonthly. Periods lock after export so approved numbers don't drift.

Does the export include overtime and PTO?

Yes. Regular, overtime and approved time-off hours by employee, with job and cost-code breakdowns when you need them.

Does PunchPro produce certified payroll reports?

No. Export hours by job and cost code to the payroll or reporting tool that produces certified payroll.

What does it cost?

$39.99 per month per business plus $7 per active user per month, every feature included. 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
