Editor's Note: February's editorial focus is on Time-tracking. This is the first in a series of articles on Time-tracking. The collection will cover almost 60 apps for QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop this month.
Thousands of businesses use QuickBooks Time to track and manage employee time for payroll, invoicing and scheduling. In addition, millions post their time and project records each day with the QuickBooks Time app—the perfect app for construction companies, landscaping businesses, handymen, plumbers, painters and tradespeople of nearly any type. In addition, the app is perfect for small and large companies, including businesses like yours.
With QuickBooks Time, your employees can track time from any location using the devices they already have. For example, employees can quickly clock in using a smartphone, computer or time clock kiosk.
In addition, they can track time against different job codes, giving you valuable insights into your business with QuickBooks Time reports.
Speaking of job tracking, did you know you can use QuickBooks Time Project Tracking features to capture signatures for project sign-offs? For example, you can add signatures to timesheets so that your employees working on projects can capture a signature upon completion using the QuickBooks Time mobile app.
Need to know who's at work and where they're working?
Check out the Who's Working window to see where and what your employees are working on in real-time. QuickBooks Time also includes GPS location tracking so you can monitor where your employees are working when they are on the job.
And sometimes, you need to know when your employees are working as a crew rather than on particular assignments. QuickBooks Time lets you configure crew managers who can clock in team members using a crew time-card app. This enables you to track one or all of the employees assigned to a crew.
QuickBooks Time is the only time tracker that works directly inside QuickBooks. This means you will simplify both payroll and employee scheduling. All your QuickBooks Time data automatically syncs to your QuickBooks account in real-time.
From there, you can edit, review and approve employee timesheets for payroll, job costing, billing or invoicing—all without ever leaving QuickBooks. In addition, any changes you make automatically are synced with QuickBooks Time, so your employee time data is always accurate.
The QuickBooks Time Employee scheduling feature makes it easier and faster than ever to keep your workforce running smoothly because timesheets and schedules go hand-in-hand. Whether you schedule by the month, week, shift, job or task, your employees will get notifications of their schedule as soon as you publish or change it.
You also can sync your schedule with Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCal or Google Calendar.
In addition, you can use QuickBooks Time to track and schedule Paid Time Off (PTO). Use the mobile app to submit and track PTO, sick days and holidays anywhere, anytime.
When it comes to ProAdvisors, accountants and bookkeepers, one of the best features of QuickBooks Time is the free QuickBooks Time PRO program, which allows you to become an expert regarding QuickBooks Time, Payroll integration, use cases, client benefits, and much more.
Additionally, as a PRO, you can provide your clients with deep discounts on QuickBooks Time, and when you are ready, you can even get certified.
If you want more information, head over to the QuickBooks Time landing page at the Intuit QuickBooks App Store. If you are interested in using QuickBooks Time with QuickBooks Desktop, you will find the Intuit QuickBooks Desktop App Store also has a QuickBooks Time landing-page page.
