Your techs clock in and out in the POM app all week — GPS-verified, corrected by a manager when something’s off, with the whole trail kept. Payroll shouldn’t mean re-typing those hours into another system. The time clock API reads them straight into whatever runs your payroll.
Friday payroll from data your crew already created
How the pattern works
A scheduled job — or your bookkeeper’s tool of choice with an HTTP step — pulls the pay period from the API:
- Read the entries:
infiniteClockingsreturns each clock-in/clock-out withhoursWorked(rounded to two decimals), timestamps, and the team member — filterable by date range for your exact pay period. - Trust the numbers: entries carry an audit trail of administrator corrections, so what payroll sees is what a manager approved.
- Feed the system: map hours per person into Gusto, ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks Payroll, or a plain CSV — whatever your accountant already runs.
The key uses the read:timeclock scope and nothing else — your payroll tool can’t see customers, invoices, or the schedule.
Why it’s built this way
Read-only, on purpose
One source of truth
Hours are recorded where the work happens — the tech’s phone — and corrected only in POM, by a manager, with the change logged.
No re-keying, no transposition
The most common payroll error is a human copying numbers between systems on a Friday afternoon. This pattern deletes that step.
Least-privilege access
A payroll key reads the time clock and nothing else. Revoke it in one click if your bookkeeper changes.
No API? The built-in reports still beat retyping
If you’d rather not wire anything up, POM’s time reports already roll clock data into daily, weekly, pay-period, and overtime views — exportable to CSV or PDF for your payroll provider. The API pattern is for companies that want Friday to run itself.

A concrete example
Every other Friday at 6am, a job pulls two weeks of clockings, sums hoursWorked per tech, flags anyone over 40 in a week for overtime handling, and drops the file into the bookkeeper’s inbox — or posts it directly to the payroll provider’s import. The office’s Friday payroll block shrinks from an afternoon to a review.
What a POM customer built
One owner’s techs clock in and out in POM. He connected the API to his payroll system, so the hours carry over when it’s time to run payroll and nobody keys them in by hand.
The honest details
Time entries are read-only through the API by design — external systems can’t write or alter hours, which is exactly what you want for payroll integrity. Overtime and pay-rate rules live in your payroll system, not in the API; POM supplies the verified hours. No webhooks today, so the pull runs on your pay-period schedule.

FAQ
Payroll questions
Can POM send hours to Gusto, ADP, or QuickBooks Payroll?
Through the time clock API, yes — infiniteClockings returns GPS-verified hours per team member for any date range, ready to map into your payroll system’s import. Without code, the built-in pay-period reports export CSV/PDF.
Can a payroll system change hours in POM?
No — entries are read-only through the API. Corrections happen in POM, by an administrator, and carry an audit trail.
How is overtime handled?
POM reports daily, weekly, pay-period, and overtime views; the API supplies raw verified hours and timestamps. Your payroll system applies your pay and overtime rules — they stay where your accountant expects them.
Does POM run payroll itself?
No — POM is the verified source of hours, not a payroll processor. That separation keeps your payroll provider’s compliance handling intact.
