What it does
Day.io is a time and attendance system with shift scheduling, clock-ins, timesheets, time off, and payroll-ready hour review. Its pages describe online and mobile clock-in, kiosk use, overtime and break rules, facial recognition, GPS and device checks, and e-signatures on timesheets. Day.io says the free plan supports up to 10 employees without a time limit; paid feature and team terms were not fully reviewed.
Day.io is aimed at hourly teams whose time records need to move toward payroll rather than remain as isolated timers. Its official pages describe clock-ins, shift scheduling, timesheets, overtime and break rules, time off, and manager review of exceptions before a pay period closes. The product also lists GPS, facial recognition, device checks, and kiosk workflows for verifying attendance.
The site says its free plan supports up to 10 employees without a time limit and includes scheduling and timesheet e-signatures. That gives a small team a way to trial the workflow with real shifts, although larger organizations should confirm the current paid plan and data controls before relying on biometric or location features. I reviewed the official product, timesheet, and startup pages; I did not configure a time clock or payroll integration.
