Raken's suite of time tracking tools gives field crews, supervisors, and office teams everything they need to capture, manage, and approve time accurately and efficiently. Whether employees are clocking in on their own devices, a shared kiosk, or having time entered by a supervisor, Raken keeps payroll data accurate and ready to sync to your accounting software.
Time Policies
Time Policies are the foundation of time tracking in Raken. They define how time is captured, calculated, and categorized across your organization — including overtime rules, breaks, rounding, pay types, shifts, and employee assignments. Policies can be applied at the company level or overridden on a per-project basis.

Overtime Rules & Premiums
Raken automatically categorizes employee hours into pay types — Regular, Overtime, and Double Time — based on the overtime rules set in each Time Policy. Pre-built Overtime Rule Templates are available for common schedules including Standard 40, Standard 8/40, California, and more. Weekend, shift, and holiday premium rules can also be configured to automatically assign premium pay types for qualifying hours.

Time Clock
Raken Time Clock lets every field employee capture their own time directly from the Raken mobile app. By enabling workers to clock in and out themselves, supervisors can stay focused on managing the jobsite instead of tracking attendance. Time Clock also reduces time theft, buddy punching, and timecard errors.

Kiosk
Raken Kiosk allows all employees to clock in and out on a single shared device, centrally located on the jobsite. Workers select their name from the project list and clock in — no individual device or login required. Kiosk supports breaks, cost codes, and shifts.

Time Cards
Raken Time Cards allow supervisors to create and manage time entries for their entire crew from the mobile app or web app. Time cards can be entered individually or in bulk for a crew, and can be associated with cost codes, classifications, shifts, and pay types. Time cards are created from Daily Logs > Time Cards or the Time menu.

Crew Time Management
The Time tab gives supervisors a centralized view to clock employees in and out, create time cards for their crew, and review the status of all time entries for the pay period — all from one place on mobile or web.

Time Review and Approval
The Time menu on the web app is the central place to view, manage, and approve all time cards across your organization. Review time by Summary, Grid, or Entries view, filter by project or employee, and approve time cards individually or in bulk. Once approved, time can be exported to your accounting software.

Per Diem
Per diem requests can be submitted and reviewed directly within Raken's time workflows. Supervisors and admins can submit per diem entries on behalf of employees across categories including Travel, Lodging, Meals, and Other. Administrators can review and manage all per diem submissions from Time > Review > Per Diem.
