60TicksTools that give you time back.

Clock in from any phone on the shop Wi-Fi.

60Ticks Network Time Clock runs on one Windows PC at your shop. Employees clock in, go to lunch, change jobs and clock out from a web browser on their phone, a tablet or any computer on your network — nothing to install on the phones. Managers check and approve each pay period, then make a payroll file for ADP or QuickBooks Desktop. No internet connection, no cloud account, no monthly fee.

What it does

Clock in, lunch, change job and clock out from a phone, tablet or PC browser — bookmark it for one tap
Optional job and operation (department) tracking — or turn both off for a plain in/out clock
Employees see their own time sheet, fix mistakes, add forgotten time and request vacation or holiday hours
Every change is logged with who made it, and the original time is kept
Overtime over 40 hours per workweek; you pick the day the workweek starts
Weekly or every-two-weeks pay periods
Manager dashboard: who’s clocked in right now, with anyone over 12 hours shown in red
Pay period review with flags (overlaps, edits, added time), then Approve & Lock
Payroll export files for ADP Workforce Now, ADP RUN and QuickBooks Desktop, or a plain spreadsheet (.csv) — every column and code can be changed
Job Hours report for job costing, and printable time sheets with signature lines
Runs as a background Windows service and starts with Windows; a clock icon by the Windows clock shows it’s running
Light and dark themes

How it works

1. Install it on one Windows PC that stays on during work hours (about a minute)
2. Make your manager login, then add employees, jobs and operations
3. Give everyone the address it shows (for example http://192.168.0.117:8080) — they clock in from their phones
4. Each pay period: check the flags, fix anything, Approve & Lock, and download the payroll file

Read the guides first

The download includes two short guides, and you can read them here before you try it: Manager Guide (4 pages: install, settings, pay periods, payroll files, backups) and Employee Guide (2 pages: clocking in and out, time sheets, vacation and holiday).

About the payroll files The ADP and QuickBooks Desktop formats were built from ADP’s and Intuit’s published import formats. Every payroll company sets up its codes a little differently, so try your first file with your payroll company before you rely on it. ADP RUN’s time sheet import has to be turned on by ADP for your company. QuickBooks Online can’t import time files, so for QuickBooks it’s the Desktop version only. Payroll files only come from approved, locked pay periods, and the program warns you if a period was already exported.
Want a touchscreen by the door instead? The original 60Ticks Time Clock runs on a touchscreen PC: employees tap their name to clock in, no phones or passwords. Want the same tap-your-name clock on wireless tablets? See Tablet Time Clock. Network Time Clock is the one for shops where people clock in from their own phones or from several places.

Why I built it

I first wrote this time clock for the office staff at a metal fabrication company I worked for, as a web page they could clock in from. When I moved on, the code came with me and has been sitting on this website ever since.

Now I’ve rebuilt it as a stand-alone Windows program, so any shop can run it on its own PC and its own network, with no web hosting and no monthly fee.
