The problem

Paying a mobile, multi-site workforce is hard to get
right by hand

Guards work across sites, shift patterns, and pay rules, and many teams still move those hours from timesheets into a separate payroll system. Every manual step adds time and risk of error, and paycheck mistakes land on the frontline staff you’re working hardest to keep.

What you can do with TrackTik

Pay people accurately and spend less time doing it

01

Pay from verified time.

Clock-ins and clock-outs from the guard app feed payroll directly, tied to the shift and the site.

02

Apply pay rules automatically.

Overtime, shift differentials, holiday pay, and site-specific rates are calculated from the schedule, so payroll reflects the rules without manual adjustments.

03

Handle payroll taxes and filings in the same system.

Run payroll and manage tax obligations without exporting to another provider.

04

Keep every employee record in one place.

Hiring, onboarding, licenses, certifications, and employment history live alongside scheduling and pay.

People Management
05

Give guards self-service.

Guards can see their schedules, pick up open shifts, and access pay information from their phones.

“What used to take hours in compiling clock-in and clock-out data can now be confidently handled within minutes.”

Why Trackforce

One platform for hours,
pay, and people

  • Payroll built for security scheduling. Split shifts, multiple sites per guard, and billable versus payable hours are handled as standard.
  • One source of hours for pay and billing. The same verified time drives both payroll and invoicing, which keeps the two in agreement.
  • People data connected to operations. A guard’s certifications and availability inform scheduling automatically.
