Alobri Time · the United States
Pre-payroll with an online time clock in the United States
Alobri Time is Alobri's online time clock for the United States. When the period closes, Alobri Time delivers pre-payroll with days worked, overtime, late arrivals, absences, breaks and exceptions per employee, ready for your payroll system or Alobri payroll. It runs on the app, a tablet or the web portal, is set up the same day and sends every punch to the cloud so HR and payroll work with reliable data.
What is Pre-payroll?
When the period closes, Alobri Time delivers pre-payroll with days worked, overtime, late arrivals, absences, breaks and exceptions per employee, ready for your payroll system or Alobri payroll.
Here you will see what it includes, which businesses it suits, how to implement it step by step, what the rules are and what it costs. If you would rather see it live, book a demo or message us on WhatsApp and a specialist will walk you through the platform.
Why you need it
Payroll closes stall when punches live in one system and exceptions in another. With connected pre-payroll, the payroll team receives clean, validated data and the close drops from days to hours.
What is included
These are the main capabilities; all are included in Alobri Time and are turned on according to each role's or location's rules.
Integrated exceptions
Pre-payroll
PTO, leave and absences appear next to hours, with no double entry.
Export to your payroll
Pre-payroll
Download the file in your payroll system's format or connect to Alobri payroll.
Validation before pay
Pre-payroll
Managers review and approve their department before the close, with alerts for outliers.
How it looks on the platform
The dashboard shows today's attendance by location with color codes: green for on time, amber for late and red for absent. At period close you see, per person, days worked, overtime, late arrivals, absences and exceptions, with the detail and evidence of every punch. Supervisors can drill down from any number to the individual record, add a note, approve or correct it, and every change is saved with who made it and when, so payroll, HR and auditors always see the same version of the truth.
Which businesses is it for?
These are the situations where US employers get the most value. Alobri Time works the same for 20 or 20,000 employees.

How to get started with Pre-payroll

A specialist reviews your headcount, locations and shifts and the best punch method for each role.
Set up your company
Upload employees from a spreadsheet and define locations, geofences, shifts and grace rules.
Choose how people punch
Mobile app, tablet kiosk with facial recognition or web portal, by role.
Punches start
Every punch reaches the cloud instantly and the dashboard shows who arrived, who is missing and who is on overtime.

Review exceptions, approve overtime and download data ready for payroll.
Good practice and privacy
Tell your team how and why attendance is recorded, get written consent before using biometrics or location, and limit access to those who need it. Alobri Time reads location only at the punch, never tracks people during the day and logs every adjustment.
Pre-payroll in the United States
Alobri Time adapts to how US companies work and to the rules that apply. These are the points employers ask about most.
In the United States this is usually called an online time clock, and each record is a punch. Alobri Time prepares the data payroll needs, including FICA considerations, and serves companies in Nueva York, Los Ángeles, Chicago, Houston / Dallas and every other state.
Biometric privacy laws apply to facial recognition
States such as Illinois (BIPA), Texas (CUBI), Washington and Colorado regulate employee biometric data, and New York, Connecticut and Delaware require written notice before electronic monitoring such as GPS. Alobri Time lets you capture and store written employee consent.
Technology, AI and security
TalentIA, Alobri's AI assistant
TalentIA, the platform's artificial intelligence assistant, answers setup questions, summarizes period attendance and flags unusual tardiness or overtime patterns.
Validation algorithms
Every punch is checked against the geofence, face and assigned shift; anything that does not match is flagged for review instead of being paid unchecked.
Integrations
Export to your payroll system or connect to Alobri HCM payroll and employee records, and use the API for your own analysis.
Security and privacy
Encrypted connection, privacy notice, consent for biometrics and location, role-based access and change logs.
