Time & Attendance Software

Workforce.com is entirely web-based, meaning staff can clock in and out of work on any device. You may download our kiosk app to use on a centralized tablet, or employees can download the Workforce.com app to their IOS or Android device to clock in right from their phone.

Time and attendance software helps prevent overtime in two main ways: real-time alerts and smarter scheduling.

First, managers get alerts when an employee is close to hitting overtime but hasn't clocked out yet. This gives them a chance to step in before overtime kicks in. Employees can also receive reminders if they forget to clock out at the end of a shift, helping prevent accidental overtime.

Overtime prevention also starts during scheduling. By using demand forecasts, managers can schedule the correct number of employees for each shift based on expected workload. This reduces overstaffing (which leads to unnecessary labor costs) and understaffing (which often forces employees to stay late).

Yes. Time and attendance software is designed to close common loopholes that lead to time theft.

Selfie clock-in and GPS tracking features prevent buddy punching and ensure employees clock in on time, clock out on time, and don't work outside their scheduled hours without approval. Built-in guardrails also flag unnecessary overtime so managers can review and correct issues before they impact payroll.

Together, these controls make sure employees are paid for the time they actually work.

Time and attendance and scheduling systems improve payroll accuracy by ensuring time data is accurate from the start.

The system links scheduled shifts with actual clock-in and clock-out times, making discrepancies easy to catch. It also accounts for things like PTO and last-minute call-outs. Because everything is tracked and approved before payroll runs, there's less manual correction and a much lower risk of overpaying or underpaying employees.

While Workforce.com’s attendance module only focuses on recording work hours, you can use Workforce.com’s shift scheduling platform to quickly build, fill out, and deploy schedules to your staff. Syncing Workforce.com’s employee scheduling tool with time & attendance gives you insight into real-time data - namely, wage & hour variances, attendance notifications, and employee productivity metrics. Syncing the two systems also helps you enforce overtime rules and avoid shift clashes.

Yes, very easily! You have the ability to set up as many teams and locations as you need on Workforce.com. With a live time clock feed, you can see who is clocking in and out at every location. At the end of the pay period, you can view timecards per location or all your timesheets simultaneously and filter by location.

Yes. Workforce.com notifies managers when an employee misses a clock-in or clock-out. Employees also receive reminders if they haven't clocked in or clocked out for their scheduled shift, helping catch missed punches early.

Yes! We designed our software to streamline shift work for hourly employees; this means our software is accessible, intuitive, and highly user-friendly.

No, the time & attendance module is simply for tracking employee hours and generating timesheets. In order to pay your staff, you'll need to export timesheets to either Workforce.com's payroll software or to an integrated third-party payroll provider.

Workforce.com includes built-in compliance guardrails that help catch issues before timesheets are sent to payroll. The system flags common discrepancies, such as missing clock-ins or clock-outs, unrecorded meal or rest breaks, and partially completed time entries. Managers can review these issues, make corrections where needed, and approve timesheets with confidence. This review process helps reduce payroll errors and supports more consistent, compliant timekeeping.

Absolutely! You can run a CSV or SFTP export for all your timesheets if you have an external payroll system. While this method does work, it does add more time to your overall payroll process – that’s why it's best practice to seamlessly push all approved timesheets to Workforce.com's payroll system for a faster pay run.

Workforce.com's mobile app uses GPS tracking, meaning it captures the exact location of an employee each time they clock in and clock out. It does not track an employee's location throughout a shift; rather, it only records in-the-moment GPS data with every punch of the time clock.

Several ways. Geofencing functionality lets you define clock-in areas to ensure employees begin shifts in their designated workplaces. Photo identification and optional biometric face scanning confirm the identity of the person clocking in as well, eliminating buddy punching.

While small businesses and large enterprises use Workforce.com, our platform best suits shift-based organizations with 20-3,000 staff, primarily in retail, hospitality, and healthcare. Organizations with a large number of employees typically use Workforce.com's all-in-one HCM package, as it gives managers more control over and deeper insight into their workforce management operations.

No. Workforce.com is primarily used by shift-based organizations to track time for on-site staff. As such, it's not the most practical tool for remote employees, freelance professionals, or contract workers.
