Time recording software instead of paper chaos

Every employee has access to his or her individual account via the browser or the time tracking app. With one click, time recording is started, paused and stopped at the end of the working day. Alternatively, time entries can also be created retroactively. As an administrator, you can determine which time recording options you want to give your employees.
The same applies to the type of time recording. In addition to a pure software solution, we also offer our Terminal App you can use with your tablet.

Automation and flexibility

absence.io takes a lot of work off your hands.

  • Overtime and negative hours can be compensated automatically.
  • Employees receive notifications when they exceed certain thresholds.
  • Our software generates automatic reports on the hours worked by your employees.

At the same time, you remain flexible as an admin.

  • Time schedules can be entered individually and adjusted at any time.
  • You determine which types of time recording you want to use and offer to your employees.

The right hardware - or not

absence.io offers the counterpart to the "classic" solution of a permanently installed time recording terminal with employee cards or tokens, we offer an app. You install this on a tablet and the employee "clocks in and out" via an individual QR code on their smartphone.
Of course, we also have a solution without hardware. This runs directly via browser or app. Ideal for home office, business trips or mobile jobs.
