ClockShark Time Tracking + QuickBooks Canada Integration
Accurate time, compliant payroll, and better job costing for Canadian contractors
ClockShark helps Canadian construction, trades, and field-service companies capture accurate hours (with optional GPS), reduce payroll errors, and feed timesheets into QuickBooks Canada for faster, CRA-ready payroll and job costing across provinces.
What is ClockShark? Features & benefits for Canadian field teams
ClockShark is a mobile-friendly time tracking and job scheduling app built for field teams. Workers clock in/out on their phones or a shared kiosk; managers get GPS-verified timesheets, job codes, and reports you can export into QuickBooks — helping Canadian businesses meet payroll, billing, and provincial labour compliance requirements.
ClockShark collects location/time metadata only with user permission — making it suitable for provincial compliance and union reporting where required.

How ClockShark works for Canadian crews
A simple workflow that fits Canadian payroll and job costing processes:
Clock in/out on mobile or kiosk
Employees use the mobile app or a site kiosk to clock hours, record job codes, and breaks — perfect for multi-site crews across provinces.
Optional GPS & geofence verification
Enable geofencing to ensure clock-ins occur on the jobsite — useful for invoicing and meeting provincial audit expectations.
Export to QuickBooks and CRA-ready reports
Export timesheets to QuickBooks (or CSV) to support payroll runs and CRA remittances (T4 preparation, EI/CPP reconciliation) — ask us how to map hours to Canadian payroll accounts.
Job costing & project profitability
Track labour by job or phase and push labour costs into QuickBooks Canada for accurate project P&L and better bid estimates.
Integrate with payroll providers
Sync time to QuickBooks Payroll or export for Canadian payroll providers — reduces manual entry and payroll errors.
Attach photos & notes
Capture photos and job notes on site — attach to timesheets for client billing or claims documentation in Canada.
