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.

Automated productivity tracking = accurate timesheets

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.

Intuitive mobile, desktop, and web-based time tracking apps

Track time anytime, anywhere. Whether you use Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, Apple, or Android devices, you can always clock in and out quickly.

Principled and privacy-focused time tracking

We’re relentlessly driven by our mission of propelling teams towards their most productive workday through easy-to-use time tracking. While the time clock is running, Hubstaff enables activity tracking, but what we do with any recorded data is bound by our three principles of transparency, access, and control.

Transparency

You’ve got the power to see all the data the software has tracked — shifts, clock in/out times, and web and desktop activity. We don’t hide your own work from you.

Access

Behind-the-scenes bossware doesn’t help teams feel empowered. Instead, our time and activity tracking features give you easy and instant access to recorded work and privacy settings.

Control

End user control means you can view or delete any data you want, no questions asked. We never sell your information, and we protect it with multiple layers of security.
