Track employee hours without busy work

Busy work makes time tracking difficult — often leading to user error, inaccuracies, or missed payroll. Our employee timesheet software means you can spend time on creative tasks, not manual work.

When an employee tracks time, that time is added directly to an invoice. This reduces the time to run payroll or double-check hours worked. So, every minute an employee works is a minute they’ll be paid for, on time and accurately.
