The product

One platform. Four jobs, done.

From the first punch to the last paystub — every number reconciles because it all comes from the same place.

Workforce

Workforce Management

See who's on, who's off and who's covering. A shift calendar that scales to your whole team, and everyone subscribes their own hours to any calendar.

Hours

Time Tracking

Every hour captured at the source: mobile clock-in, a live shift timer, GPS geofencing and missed-punch reminders — so you pay the hours that happened.

Mobile

Your team lives on the phone. So does Chronos.

AI admin copilot

A copilot for the boring parts

Admins get a copilot that reads live data — pending PTO, open shifts, employees — and proposes the write for you. It never acts on its own.

Every write passes a mandatory confirmation; the server replays the saved payload the model can't change
Actions expire after 5 minutes, and high-risk ones like payroll ask twice

Approve the pending PTO for Alex and run payroll for last week.

Alex has 1 PTO request (Jun 12, 8h) and last week has 3 open shifts closed. Here's what I'll do:

Success

What changes the week you switch

Chronos was built next to a real payroll that had to go out every week — hourly staff, overtime and commissions. These are the four situations it was designed to end.

Payroll day

Closing the week eats the weekend

Before Export the punches, add them up in a spreadsheet, redo overtime by hand, then type check by check into the payroll provider.

With Chronos Pick the period, review net pay per employee, liquidate. Paystubs freeze and go out by email, and the ADP RUN paydata file downloads for a single upload.

Commissions

The commission lives in a chat thread

Before What each person earned gets agreed by message, remembered at the end of the month, and argued about on payday.

With Chronos A commission line per employee — amount plus a note like ‘1st half of May’ — inside the same liquidation. It lands on the paystub and in the export, next to the hours it was paid with.

Time tracking

Nobody trusts the hours

Before Punches on paper or by message, clock-outs that never happened, and a Saturday somebody swears they worked.

With Chronos Clock-in from the phone with a live shift timer, a GPS geofence that flags off-site punches without blocking them, and a missed clock-out that emails a reminder and lands in the manager’s tray.

Month close

Three numbers, three places

Before The timesheet says one thing, the payroll spreadsheet another, and the accountant’s book a third. Reconciling is a day of work.

With Chronos One set of records. Paid hours lock so they can’t be paid twice, payroll posts to a double-entry ledger, and the accountant gets a QuickBooks CSV or a Google Sheet that syncs itself.

AI, with a leash

The copilot inside the app

How it works

The copilot inside the app

Admins chat with a copilot that reads live data — pending PTO, open shifts, a payroll run — and drafts the action. Nothing is written without an explicit confirmation, and high-risk actions ask twice.

Do we have to install anything?

No. Chronos runs in any modern browser. On phones it installs as an app (PWA) so the team can clock in, check their shifts and read their paystubs without going through an app store.

How is overtime calculated?

Under FLSA rules: 1.5× the rate over 40 hours in the workweek, with exempt employees classified so they aren’t paid overtime by mistake. Withholding presets ship per state and stay editable.

Can we keep our payroll provider and our accountant?

Yes. Chronos hands off files instead of replacing them: an ADP RUN paydata file, a QuickBooks Online journal CSV mapped to your chart of accounts, and a Google Sheets sync (webhook or service account) with a nightly sweep.

Who can see what?

Three roles: admin, manager and employee. Employees see their own hours, PTO and paystubs; managers see their team; sensitive HR records — health data, emergency contacts — are hidden from managers. Companies are isolated from each other on the server, not just in the interface.

What about time off?

The full cycle: the employee requests it, the manager approves, hours accrue monthly, the unused balance carries over according to your policy, and approved PTO flows into payroll as paid hours.

In what languages does it work?

English and Spanish across the interface, with a glossary of payroll terms in both. Your organization sets the default and each person can override it. A few outbound artifacts — some email bodies and export files — are still English-only.

How do we get started?

Write to lufes@chiwiro.com. We set up your organization, import your employees, agree the pay calendar and deductions, and run a first period together before you move off your current process.

Is it for me?

If you're running a business that pays by the hour…

…how many hours did you lose last month adding up timesheets, redoing payroll, and arguing over overtime?

Here's the cut

CHRONOS hands them back.

One period, one click — hours, overtime, PTO and commissions turn into net pay and emailed paystubs. The weekend is yours again.
