Runs directly in the browser. No installation. No credit card.
Invite the team by email
The responsible person creates the workspace and invites employees. Each employee uses their own account.
Agree responsibilities first
Agree who reviews entries as an admin or manager and who records their own time as a member.
Test the first working day together
Practise clock-in, starting and ending a break, and clock-out. Review the daily status together afterwards.
Example: An owner introduces a time clock for five employees
Start with a shared trial day. The owner explains the booking steps, a responsible person reviews missing entries, and employees know whom to contact when something is wrong.
1. Prepare accounts and roles
Invite the five employees to the workspace and check that each can access it. Assign only the roles needed for their responsibilities.
2. Practise clock-in and breaks
Demonstrate clock-in at the start of work and separate break recording. Explain that the project timer serves a different purpose from attendance.
3. Clock out and report mistakes
Practise clock-out at the end of the day. Agree how missed bookings are reported and who reviews incomplete entries.
4. Review the first week together
Review attendance and breaks with the responsible person after the first week. The time clock runs in a browser without a separate terminal and needs an internet connection. Agree access and working-time recording rules internally.

Frequently asked questions
-
Do we need a separate time clock terminal?
The browser time clock does not require a separate terminal. Employees need access to the web app and an internet connection.
-
Do employees need to start the project timer?
For attendance, employees use clock-in, breaks and clock-out. Use the project timer additionally when tasks need to be assigned to projects.
-
What should we do about a missed booking?
Report the missed booking to the responsible person. Admins or managers review the entry and handle the correction using your internal process.
