The dashboard is the first screen you see after signing in to PayPunch as a bookkeeper. It gives you an at-a-glance picture of every client company and employee you manage, surfaces work that needs attention, and links you straight into the most common tasks.
PayPunch is in beta. Features and screens are actively evolving, so a label or button you see in the app may look slightly different here. If something doesn’t match, let us know.

Reading your stats

Four cards across the top summarize your whole organization: The System Overview card lower on the page repeats these numbers with a short label (for example, “timesheets awaiting” and “hours in pending timesheets”) so you can confirm what each figure represents.

​
Forgotten clock-out alerts

If any employee has been clocked in for more than 8 hours, a Forgotten Clock-Outs Detected banner appears at the top of the dashboard with an amber border. It lists each affected employee and how long ago they clocked in.
