Time and Attendance Software for Employee Timekeeping

Accurate timekeeping is the foundation of accurate payroll. But for many businesses, managing time cards, punches, overtime, and time-off requests is time-consuming, error-prone, and stressful. Outdated spreadsheets or old punch clocks lead to mistakes, compliance risks, and unnecessary costs.

With Paper Trails’ online time and attendance software, you can automate time tracking, integrate it directly with payroll and HR, and get full visibility into your workforce—whether employees are in the office, on a jobsite, or working remotely.

Reliable Punches, Fewer Mistakes

Say goodbye to manual timecards and missed punches. Our system captures hours in real time, whether employees are clocking in from a jobsite, the office, or at home. With options for physical clocks, mobile punching, and geofencing, you get reliable, accurate data every time.

Simple, Transparent Time Off Approvals

Manage time-off requests with ease. Employees submit PTO requests digitally, managers approve with a click, and schedules update automatically across the team. No more sticky notes or endless email chains—just simple, transparent time off management.

Control Labor Costs Before They Add Up

Missed punches and manual edits often lead to payroll mistakes. Our tools flag issues like unapproved overtime, missed breaks, or out-of-bounds punches before payroll runs—helping you control labor costs and keep payroll accurate.

See Who’s Working, Anytime

Track attendance, overtime, and labor costs by department, job, or location. Managers have instant access to who’s working, who’s approaching overtime, and where labor dollars are being spent. That visibility makes it easier to make smart staffing decisions.

Consistent Rules, Audit-Ready Records

Labor laws are complex, but your time system doesn’t have to be. From overtime rules to break requirements, our software applies your policies consistently and keeps detailed records. That means you’re always prepared for audits and aligned with state and federal regulations.

Efficient Punching

Move beyond paper timecards or outdated punch clocks. Employees can clock in and out using mobile devices, web portals, or physical time clocks, with options like geofencing to ensure punches only happen in approved locations.

Workforce Management

Easily manage shifts and reallocate labor across locations, departments, or jobs. Managers can spot gaps in coverage, approve shift swaps, and ensure the right people are in the right place—without endless emails or sticky notes.

Time Off Process

Stay on top of time-off requests, holidays, earned leave, and overtime alerts in one centralized system. Employees can request PTO digitally, managers can approve with a click, and schedules update automatically.

Reduce Errors

Manual entry leads to missed punches, unapproved overtime, and incorrect totals. With automated rules for breaks, overtime, and holidays, errors are flagged and corrected before payroll is finalized.

Easy Integration

Because our time and attendance software is part of isolved People Cloud, it connects seamlessly with your payroll and HR processes. Hours flow directly into payroll, deductions stay accurate, and data is always in sync.

Comprehensive Reporting

Pull detailed reports on labor costs, overtime, scheduling, and attendance patterns. Filter by department, job, or location to understand where your time and money are going-helping drive smarter staffing decisions backed by data.

Time and Attendance FAQ's

What does time and attendance software do?

Time and attendance software tracks when employees start and end work, manages PTO requests, monitors overtime, and integrates this data into payroll. It can track time by location, department, labor group and more. It automates manual tasks, reduces errors, and ensures employees are paid accurately.

What is the best way to track employee time?

The best way is with an automated, online system that allows employees to clock in and out via mobile, web, or physical devices. Features like geofencing, biometric login, and integration with payroll ensure accuracy and reduce the risk of errors.

Do your time and attendance solutions integrate with payroll?

Yes. Our time and attendance software is fully integrated with payroll in the isolved People Cloud platform. That means employee hours, PTO requests, and overtime flow directly into payroll without the need for manual entry. Managers approve time cards once, and the data is automatically ready for payroll processing. This reduces errors, saves hours each pay cycle, and ensures employees are always paid accurately.

Do I need to track time for remote employees?

Yes. Even if employees work remotely, you are still responsible for accurate time tracking under wage and hour laws. Our software allows remote staff to clock in and out from their devices, with geofencing to ensure location accuracy.

How do payroll services help with compliance?

Time and attendance software applies your company’s work rules consistently and keeps accurate records to meet federal, state, and local labor laws. It can automatically calculate overtime according to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), enforce break and meal period rules, and track paid leave balances.

For Maine businesses, it also helps manage requirements like earned paid leave. Having a digital audit trail means you’re prepared if questions arise from employees or regulators—saving you from costly penalties and disputes.
