What is QuickBooks Time?

QuickBooks Time (formerly TSheets) is a cloud-based employee time tracking and scheduling product from Intuit, designed to work alongside QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Payroll. Employees can clock in and out from a web browser, mobile app, or time kiosk, and managers can track hours by job, customer, or project for more accurate payroll and billing. The product requires a QuickBooks Online account to use.

Core capabilities include GPS tracking and geofencing, employee scheduling, time-off management, alerts and notifications, photo attachments, and timesheet approvals that flow directly into QuickBooks payroll and invoicing. A higher Elite tier adds mileage tracking, project tracking, estimates-versus-actuals reporting, a project activity feed, and timesheet signatures. QuickBooks Time is aimed at small and mid-sized businesses, particularly field service, construction, and hourly-workforce companies that already use or plan to use QuickBooks for accounting and payroll.
