GOOD QUESTIONS, STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Frequently asked questions

Is the Business License required?

Yes. Each business purchases the one-time Business License. Cloud hosting is an optional $24/year add-on; you still receive the software download either way.

Do I pay for each employee?

No. The Business License covers unlimited active employees for a business installation, whether self-hosted or using the optional hosting add-on.

Will the hosted clock and downloaded copy share timecards?

No. The hosted clock and a self-hosted installation maintain separate records. Use one as your primary clock. Export and retain records before changing installations.

Does the hosted plan renew automatically?

No. Hosting is purchased for one year at a time. You receive renewal reminders and can pay for the next year from My account. No automatic recurring billing is enabled.

Does my local computer need internet?

Internet is required to redeem a purchase code initially, but a signed activated license can be verified locally afterward. Your PHP server must remain running while the team clocks in.

Can I use QuickBooks?

The optional QuickBooks Time CSV add-on creates a preparation export. It is not a live QuickBooks connector. Your QuickBooks Time account must support CSV import, and its required template may vary.

Are my records safe?

The application uses separate business databases, encrypted connections on HTTPS deployments, secure logins, and audit records. Your business is responsible for protecting administrator access, verifying retention rules, and making backups.

Can I change an incorrect punch?

Authorized managers can correct timecards with a recorded reason. Original values are retained in the audit trail.

What happens if hosting expires?

New employee punches are paused when the paid term ends. Managers retain access to sign in and export existing records. Renew to restore active clocking.

Is the software payroll or legal advice?

No. The product records time and prepares exports, but it does not calculate gross wages, taxes, benefits, deductions, or determine compliance with every wage-and-hour rule.
