Everything you need to set up Knockoff, run your first week of timesheets, and get your crew's hours into payroll. Come back any time — this page isn't going anywhere.
Head to app.knockoff.co.nz/owner.html and enter your email. The first time, tap Email me a sign-in link — we'll email you a link, click it and you're in.
Once you're in, tap Password at the top of your dashboard and set one (8 characters or more). From then on you can sign in straight away with your email and password. Forgotten it? Tap Forgot password? on the sign-in screen and we'll email you a link to choose a new one — and the emailed sign-in link always works too, so you can't get locked out.
The first time you sign in, Knockoff sets up your business and starts your 7-day free trial automatically. From there, a quick 5-step setup wizard walks you through the basics below.
In the setup wizard (or later from your dashboard), add each crew member by name and give them a 4–6 digit PIN. That PIN is how they'll log in on their phone — so pick something they'll remember, and keep them all different.
Add the job sites your crew work across — a name for each is all you need (e.g. "12 Kauri Rd" or "Westfield fit-out"). Your crew pick their site before they clock in, so you always know who was where.
Got a long list? On the Job sites tab, use Add lots of sites at once: paste your list with one site per line (straight out of Excel or an email is fine) and tap Add all. Blank lines and sites you already have are skipped.
Crew on more than one site a day? When they move, they pick the new site under Clock In/Out and tap Arrived. Knockoff records the time at each site and splits their paid hours across them — see it on the Reports tab under Hours by job site.
As your crew submit their days, entries land on your admin board in real time. Breaks are already deducted, so paid hours are worked out for you. Your job is just to check and approve.
Once the week's hours are approved, click Export. Knockoff gives you a CSV that opens right in Excel — formatted ready for Smartly, and works with Xero, MYOB or any other payroll system. Because it opens in Excel, you can check the numbers before you commit them to payroll.
Need to bill clients by job? The Hours by job site report on the Reports tab shows each person's paid hours per site for the week, with its own CSV download.
When your trial ends, pick the plan that fits your crew size and add your card. Payments are handled securely by Stripe. Prices are GST-exclusive and 15% GST is added at checkout.
From the billing portal in your dashboard you can:
