FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to all your questions about our service and plans.

What is time card software?

Time card software digitally records when employees start and end their workday — replacing paper punch cards or physical time clocks. Beyond recording clock-in and clock-out times, it calculates daily and weekly hours automatically, flags overtime against scheduled hours, tracks time off, and exports data directly to payroll — eliminating manual transcription and the errors that come with it.

What’s the difference between a digital time card and a punch clock?

A punch clock records a timestamp when an employee clocks in or out. A digital time card does that and more: it calculates total hours automatically, applies work schedule rules, tracks overtime against expected hours, logs time off alongside attendance, and feeds that data into reports or payroll exports without manual re-entry. The core action is the same; what you can do with the data is entirely different.

Why switch from paper time cards or punch clocks to software?

Paper cards and punch clocks create data that lives in a physical record — someone has to transcribe it, calculate totals, and cross-reference against schedules manually. Software eliminates those steps: hours are calculated automatically, overtime is flagged in real time, and the data is ready to export for payroll without re-entering anything. It also creates an audit trail that paper records can’t provide.

How do time cards connect to payroll in TrackingTime?

TrackingTime’s time cards consolidate each team member’s daily hours worked — including overtime against their defined work schedule — into a structured dataset that can be exported as CSV, PDF, or Excel. This gives HR and finance teams the data they need for payroll without manually aggregating from multiple sources. Time card data sits alongside time off and holiday records in the same system. Time cards are available on the Pro plan.

Does TrackingTime track overtime automatically on time cards?

Yes. When you define a work schedule for a team member — expected daily or weekly hours — TrackingTime uses that as a baseline. Any hours logged beyond that schedule appear as overtime in the time card view. Managers can see overtime by individual or across the team without manual calculations, making it easier to catch workload issues before they affect payroll.

Can time card records be exported for payroll processing?

Yes. Time card data in TrackingTime can be exported to CSV, PDF, or Excel at any time. Exports include individual daily totals, overtime, and time off, organized by person and date range — structured to match what payroll systems or HR teams typically need.

How does time card tracking work in TrackingTime?

TrackingTime’s time card records attendance separately from project time tracking. Team members log their workday start and end — via the web app, desktop app, or mobile — and TrackingTime calculates their daily total against their defined work schedule. Overtime is flagged automatically. The same system also tracks time off and holidays, so the complete attendance picture is in one place.

What’s the difference between a time card and a timesheet in TrackingTime?

In TrackingTime, these capture different dimensions of time. A timesheet records what work was done — hours logged against specific projects, tasks, and clients. A time card records when someone worked — daily attendance, total hours, and whether they exceeded their scheduled hours. Both live in the same system, which means you can see not just how many hours a person worked, but how those hours were distributed across projects and clients.

Does TrackingTime’s time card work alongside project time tracking?

Yes, and that’s one of its key advantages. Most time card tools are attendance-only — they tell you someone worked 8 hours but not on what. In TrackingTime, attendance data and project data live in the same workspace. HR sees total hours and overtime for payroll; managers see the same hours broken down by project and client. No reconciliation between systems needed.

Does TrackingTime keep auditable records of employee work hours?

Yes. TrackingTime maintains a structured record of each team member’s daily hours, overtime, time off, and holidays — with timestamps showing when entries were logged. Time audits let managers review and flag incomplete or inconsistent records before they become a payroll or compliance issue. For organizations with formal audit requirements, the Business plan includes audit logs that track changes across the workspace.

How does TrackingTime help with overtime and labor regulation compliance?

TrackingTime lets you define work schedules per employee — expected daily and weekly hours — and automatically surfaces overtime when logged hours exceed that baseline. Time off policies can be configured by team, role, or country to reflect local labor rules. The result is a system that tracks the data labor regulations typically require — hours worked, overtime, leave — without building it manually in a spreadsheet.

Can TrackingTime time card records be used as documentation for labor inspections?

Yes. Time card data in TrackingTime — daily totals, overtime, time off, and schedule compliance — can be exported to CSV, PDF, or Excel at any time and for any date range. This gives HR and legal teams a structured, exportable record of work hours that can serve as documentation for labor inspections, payroll audits, or internal compliance reviews.

Does TrackingTime’s time card work for remote or hybrid teams?

Yes. TrackingTime runs as a web app, desktop app, and mobile app, so team members can log their workday from anywhere — no physical kiosk or shared terminal required. Managers see attendance data consolidated in one view regardless of where each person is working. The system is designed for distributed teams from the ground up, not retrofitted from a physical punch clock model.

Does TrackingTime use GPS or location tracking for time cards?

No. TrackingTime does not use GPS, geofencing, or location data of any kind. Attendance is recorded through the employee’s own device — web, desktop, or mobile — without capturing where they are. For organizations that want reliable attendance data for remote or hybrid teams without location surveillance, this is a deliberate design choice, not a limitation.

How does a remote employee clock in with TrackingTime?

Remote employees log their workday start and end directly in TrackingTime — via the web app, desktop app, or mobile app on iOS or Android. There’s no shared terminal, no PIN pad, and no photo verification. The time card records when they started, when they finished, and calculates their total hours against their work schedule automatically. The same entry is visible to their manager in real time.
