> Employee time clock and scheduling tied to QuickBooks payroll

QuickBooks Time, formerly called TSheets, is Intuit's employee time tracking product. Staff clock in from a phone app, a web browser or a shared kiosk, managers build schedules by job or shift, and approved hours sync to QuickBooks for payroll and invoicing. Pricing combines a monthly base fee with a per-user fee, and the pricing page states that a QuickBooks Online account is required.

## Key features

- **Mobile time clock:** Employees clock in and out and sign and submit timesheets in the QuickBooks Workforce app on iPhone, iPad and Android, with GPS location points recorded while on the clock.
- **Time kiosk:** A shared punch clock for on-site teams that runs on a tablet, desktop or laptop. It is part of both the Premium and Elite plans.
- **Scheduling:** Managers create schedules by job or by shift, then edit, publish and share them with the team.
- **Payroll and invoicing sync:** Tracked hours sync to accounting and payroll rather than being re-entered. Intuit says QuickBooks Time integrates with more than 50 accounting and payroll apps.
- **Projects and mileage:** Time Elite adds GPS mileage tracking, project tracking with estimates against actual hours, a project activity feed and timesheet signatures.
- **Reports and time off:** Customizable reports cover job costs and payroll planning, and both plans include time-off management with alerts and notifications.
