Intuit is best known for its accounting suite and payroll solution for small businesses, Quickbooks. In 2018, they acquired Tsheets to include time tracking to the list of services they offer. In addition to time tracking, Quickbooks Time also functions as a scheduling software which helps you manage tasks and employees to get productivity at its best possible level. 

Quickbooks excels in scheduling and team management. Administrators can schedule work for their staffers from the schedule section on the dashboard. To schedule shifts, all you need to do is choose the time and day, team member you want to assign it to, and share it when you’re ready. Your team members will be immediately notified of these changes.  

Quickbooks ‘Who is Working’

Another interesting feature that can help managers with their scheduling process is the “who is working” window. This lets you see who is working and who is available, which is useful for quickly assigning tasks to those ready to work. Quickbooks Time also syncs with third-party calendar applications such as iCal, Google calendar, and so on. This feature can be used to import events from your calendars and register them as entries on our timesheets.

With Quickbooks TIme, employers and managers do not have to handle every single task or project. They can simply set permissions and add members as workers, managers, admins, or anything in-between. This feature is useful for designation work and creating a structured hierarchy within your organization. 

Quickbooks Time Kiosk & Geofencing Features

Perhaps the most standout Quickbooks Time feature is what they call the Time Kiosk. This functions as a traditional time clock where everyone has to clock in and out from. Quickbooks has digitized this concept  for businesses that still require something of the sort. 

Examples of  businesses that would benefit from the implementation of this feature include restaurant businesses, construction businesses, hospitals, and any organization that has a central work location, really. 

This time kiosk can be set up on a tablet and mounted at the entrance of your business organization. The manager would have registered the employees of the organization using their biometric information (facial recognition). So a worker would be immediately clocked in when they go to use the central device. Employees are also allowed to set up a four-digit pin as added log in security.

Quickbook’s geofencing feature allows you to build a virtual fence around your job sites. If you are a home services business for example, you will appreciate this feature as Quickbooks Time will automatically clock your employees in when they reach a set job site. Using GPS technology, you can also monitor mobile employees as they are on the go.

Quickbooks Reports & Leave Management

Quickbooks offers three top reports - payroll reports, projects reports, and approval reports. They also provide other reports to give you an overview of how your team tracks time. The payroll report gives you a breakdown of how much time your employees tracked with respect to their hourly rates. This report can be filtered by date ranges and/or team members and exported as CSV and PDF files. 

The project reports employs more visualization to display tracked data as pie charts. This report contains information on how much time was spent on each task, how much time your employees dedicated to the project, and so on. 

The approval report makes it possible to view detailed information on timesheets that are approved and those that are yet to be approved. Within this report, you can decide to approve the timesheet or send it back to the employee for correction.

Quickbooks Time also allows you to set up and customize your paid and unpaid time-off policies. Employees can request for paid time off from their devices and the admin personnel can approve from their end.
