What is time tracking for small business?
It replaces paper timesheets and "I started at 9" messages with a clock-in system. Employees punch in and out; the software adds up hours, breaks and overtime and hands payroll a clean total.
For a small team the point is simple: pay for the hours actually worked, and stop spending Friday afternoon fixing timesheets.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best time tracking software for a small business?
Look for clock-in that employees will actually use, automatic overtime, and an export your payroll accepts. TimeClock 365 covers all three: employees clock in from the web, the iOS or Android app, Microsoft Teams, Slack or a time clock; overtime is calculated from each contract; and approved hours export to QuickBooks, HiBob, Excel or CSV.
How much does time tracking cost for a small business?
TimeClock 365 attendance starts at $3.90 per user per month, billed annually. Attendance + Access Control is $4.90 per user per month, and door access alone starts at $1.90. There is a 14-day free trial of the full platform with no credit card.
Do I need hardware to start?
No. Employees can clock in from a browser or the mobile app from day one. Biometric time clocks and door readers are optional and can be added later.
Can employees clock in and out from their phones?
Yes. The TimeClock 365 app for iOS and Android records each punch with its GPS location, and you can limit punches to a geofence around your workplace or job sites.
Does it work with Office 365?
Yes. Employees can punch in from the free TimeClock 365 app for Microsoft Teams, and companies using Azure AD can sign in with single sign-on.
Can I connect time tracking to payroll?
Yes. Approved hours go straight to QuickBooks Online, sync with HiBob and GreytHR, or download as Excel, PDF or CSV for your accountant. A Payroll Report gives one summary row per employee.
Can the office door clock employees in?
Yes. TimeClock 365 is a cloud door access control system first. Employees open the door with a card, phone or fingerprint, and the first entry of the day can start their workday - no separate clock-in.
