Staff clocking in system

Clocking in,
without the machine.

Staff clock-in and out from a tablet by the door, their own phone, a computer, or even a landline. Every clock in lands on a timesheet, matched against the rota and ready for payroll.

We’ll invite you as soon as early access begins.
Time Clocking is a feature of the Rota and Time Clock plan.

Which situation best describes your employees?

Staff at one site

Staff at one site

Your team works the same place every shift: a restaurant, a shop, a surgery, a warehouse.

Employees on the move

Employees on the move

Your employees work wherever the job is: client sites, care visits, installations that change week to week.

Office and remote staff

Office and remote staff

Your team works at a desk, in the office or from home, so a wall clock by a door helps nobody.

On-site clocking in system

A modern time and attendance solution.

Your online clocking in station

A simple time clock app

Turn a tablet or computer into the clocking in point by the door. Install the Timetastic Rota and Time Clock software, give everyone a PIN, and the first shift can clock in the same day.

End time theft for good

Clock cards never knew whose hand was holding them. Turn on optional facial recognition and every clock-in is confirmed against the person on the rota, so nobody clocks in for a mate who's still on the bus. Goodbye "buddy punching".

No "clocking machine" needed

A wall-mounted clocking in machine costs hundreds up front, and the data stays stuck in the box. Timetastic runs on the iPad, Android tablet, or computer you already own, and the numbers go straight where payroll needs them.

Clocking in and out, on the go

Keep track of staff who work wherever the job is

Online clocking in without the internet

The landline clock-in "machine"

No signal, no WiFi, no smartphone? No problem. Staff ring from the phone numbers you approve, the system recognises them, and their hours land on the right timesheet. Any phone, anywhere, becomes a clocking in point.

Employee time/punch clock system

Mobile employee time clock with geolocation

Use the Timetastic mobile app to provide your employees with the addresses of their various workplaces by date and time. Then, create a perimeter around these locations within which they must be to clock in and out.

Address-based geolocation perimeter
Automated out-of-range clock-in alerts
Office time tracking

For office and remote workers

Self-service timesheets

Self-service timesheets

If your employees are responsible for filling in their own timesheets, simply give them access to Timetastic, where they can do it themselves in a matter of seconds. Perfect for paperless time tracking.

IP-restricted computer clocking

IP-restricted computer clocking

Enable your employees to clock in and out from their work computer. To tighten security, you can also restrict clock-in/clock-out to specific IP addresses, such as the office or the employee’s home.

RFID time punch clock

RFID time punch clock

Turn the tablet or computer of your choice into an RFID electronic punch clock by simply connecting the appropriate reader. Works with RFID cards, chips, badges, and tokens.

Barcode punch clock

Barcode punch clock

Integrate Timetastic’s time and attendance system with any barcode reader connected to a punch clock terminal. The perfect solution for companies already using barcodes to manage access to their premises.

The simplest HR solution for busy managers

Built with the input of people who actually give a shift

We’ve been working closely with some of Timetastic’s most experienced admins, leaders who have been managing shifts and rotas for years. Here’s what they have to say about the experience.

I've been saying it over and over again recently. Timetastic is brilliant — really feel like the founders sat down and said “what is a real pain about managing leave/holidays, right, let's fix it. All of it.”
Chris Hayward
Honestly this saves time, effort and all my employees like the simplicity of this system! Its brilliant and saves so much admin time!! Even the non-computer literate in my team is a fan! Well done Timetastic Team, I'm happy!
Sisse Jensen Fitzgerald
We started using Timetastic a couple of months ago and it is brilliant. It is so easy to customise and so easy to use. The team love it and I love not having to constantly update an excel spreadsheet! It is also exceptional value for money.
Helen Sanson
The best staff leave planner ever. Really recommend.
Roman Melíšek
So much easier to keep track of time off now, and the whole team can view it which means clashes are avoided, and with the working from home feature we don’t need to worry if someone hasn’t arrived at the office.
Catherine Holcombe
Very happy with the user friendly platform. The price to use it is also very good value.
Roisin Bennett
We have found Timetastic very useful with staff holidays. It is easy to use for the employee and excellent to use for the employer to add in sick days and unpaid leave etc. It also reminds you weekly of who is off, so you can always see who’s off in the week at the start, helping book jobs in around them.
Connor McDowell
A fantastic, simple to use platform for managing staff leave. The web based interface is great, but the real benefit is with the smartphone app that allows quick booking / management of leave for staff.
Matt P
A simple to use platform. Fantastic for a small team at a great price point. As an administrator, it is easy to onboard the team and manage their leave allowances. Approval system is seamless. Customer service has been very prompt and professional. Highly recommended.
Ridzuani Muin
Great app and highly recommended for less than 100 employee companies.
Arjun Mathew
Very simple to use. The team love it. It provides the data I need and has saved me time.
Nikki King
Really great product to use for leave management. It is simple to use, able to set-up and onboard new staff very easily. Integrates well with Slack allowing for leave approvals within our communication platform. And great value for price.
Angelique Klawansky
Timetastic is a game changer for our vacation and timeoff management. With the easy to install app and the detailed inventory of our multiple types of leave, it brings our vacation management out of the dark ages. Awesome tool that our HR department is thankful for.
Tim Spence
Timetastic is excellent. It is good value for money and a great way to track people's leave. It is user friendly and I wouldn't be without it now. Anyone with more than 8 employees should have a similar tool I would recommend this one.
Shona Mannering
It's user-friendly and intuitive for an admin user and normal users. Reporting is helpful. The burnout function is really useful.
Oliver O
Software works just as needed. It's very intuitive and easy to learn and provides the right integrations and reports
Graham Schwikkard
Timetastic has made the management of my team a breeze.
Kriss Cox
Great tool - does the simple things well and for a very reasonable price.
Ben Walker
Pays for itself in the time you save! Staff love it — they get clear visibility of how much holiday remaining and can easily book time off.
Ben Collier
Timetastic makes managing holiday requests much easier than any manual system I’ve used in the past.
Ronnie Davies
Fastest and simplest way to manage staff holidays.
Daniel Nelson
Timetastic is really easy to use. Each of member of staff has a time off calendar, and I can see how many days they have remaining from their holiday allowance.
Rowan Johnson
Beautifully simple.
Robin Blandford
Great for staff as they can book leave as and when the need arises (evenings and weekends) and the leave can be approved or declined by managers with the click of a button.

Leave management software FAQs

What if some of my staff don't have smartphones?

They clock in anyway. The shared tablet kiosk covers anyone with a PIN or their face. The landline option covers locations with no internet at all: employees call in, the system logs the clock-in or login. Nobody needs to install anything, and employees don't need an email address to be added to the system.

Is rounding time legal? What's the 7-minute rule?

In the US, the 7-minute rule lets employers round the time entry to the nearest quarter-hour: 7 minutes or less rounds down, 8 or more rounds up, and the Department of Labor requires the rounding to stay neutral over time rather than consistently favouring the employer. In the UK, the safer practice is paying actual minutes worked, especially near minimum wage. Timetastic's Rota and Time Clock records the exact hours and minutes clocked-in either way, so whichever policy you run, the underlying record is true to the minute.

Will my team actually use it?

That's the question that decides whether any time clock works. Clocking in with Timetastic's Rota and Time Clock is one tap on a phone or one glance at the kiosk, and employees get something back: their schedule, their hours so far, their timesheet, all visible in the same app. Teams that see their own data stop treating the clock as surveillance and start treating it as their record too. Similar apps report over 40,000 five-star reviews from frontline teams which say that the habit sticks.

How do the timesheets get to payroll?

On their own. Every clock-in feeds a timesheet that's already reconciled against the schedule, with anomalies flagged for approval. Approved timesheets export to your payroll software, including QuickBooks, ADP Workforce Now, Nethris, Sage 50, and Ceridian Powerpay, or download as a file your accountant can use. The pay period ends and the numbers are already there.
