What the kiosk is for and who it suits
A business that clocks staff in at one shared point, such as a back office tablet or a site terminal, has to choose between buying a wall-mounted punch clock and using a device it already owns. QuickBooks Time Kiosk, which was previously called TSheets Time Clock Kiosk, takes the second route. It runs on any tablet or internet-connected device and links to an existing QuickBooks Time account, so the hours it records end up in the same system as the rest of the service.
The kiosk is one part of a wider cloud-based scheduling and time tracking service. The same account also reaches a mobile app for staff working away from a fixed point, and a web dashboard for managers on a desktop or laptop. The listing describes the kiosk as the way to track time from one central location, with the other two covering people who are in the field or out of the office.
Clocking in and out at a shared device
Employees clock in and out by entering a 4-digit PIN at the device. Photo capture is listed as a way for admins to see who is actually punching in and out, which matters where several people share one screen.
Once clocked in, a person can switch between job codes, pause tracking or take a break without ending the shift. Time can be recorded against multi-level job codes, projects, locations and clients. Employees can also clock into new shifts and jobs directly from the schedule, so they do not need a separate step to start work on an assigned task.
Tracking hours and location in the field
The tracker runs as a real-time virtual time clock, so hours show as they accrue rather than only after a shift closes. Managers can see who is working and where from one dashboard, including when they are on the go. Mobile staff can be placed on one map view using GPS, and each timer's history can be viewed with its location on a map.
Totals are shown for the day and the week at a glance. Hours can be broken down by job, customer or location, which is the level most businesses need when they bill clients or cost out projects.
Scheduling shifts and sending alerts
Schedules can be built by job or by shift, and shifts are moved or created by dragging them into place. The schedule syncs with Apple iCal, Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar, so staff see their shifts in the calendar they already use.
When a schedule is published or a shift changes, employees can be notified by push notification or text. Managers are told if someone does not clock in to a job or shift as scheduled. Overtime alerts can be set to warn both employees and managers as a limit approaches. Those alerts are configured from the web dashboard.
Approving timesheets, leave and audit history
Employees can submit their time for approval from the kiosk itself. Managers can edit, delete or approve timesheets with a click. From the web dashboard they can also set up custom approval steps, manage PTO, leave and holiday time, and track vacation, sick and holiday accruals for each employee.
Every edit and deletion is kept in a history that the listing calls a black-box record, intended for use in an audit. The listing also mentions configurations for DCAA and DOL compliance and a detailed time log that it presents as support in FLSA lawsuits and audits.
Reports and connections to payroll and accounting software
Reports can be produced in PDF, CSV, HTML or viewed online. The kiosk connects to QuickBooks Online and to QuickBooks for PC in its Pro, Premier and Enterprise editions. Other named integrations are Xero, Square and Gusto, and the listing refers to further payroll, accounting and invoicing packages. A developer open API is also offered.
The listing puts the possible saving at 2 to 8 percent of gross payroll costs and says that electronic records replace paper timesheets. Support is listed as free and unlimited by phone, email and chat for all customers.
