What it does
TimeStation lets employees punch in from smartphones or tablets using a card scan or PIN. The official site describes GPS tagging, offline use, and attendance or payroll reports. Its pricing page lists a free plan for up to ten employees and paid monthly plans from $19.95 for up to twenty employees to $59.95 for up to two hundred.
TimeStation is aimed at small organizations that need inexpensive attendance records from shared or mobile devices. Card or PIN entry gives employers a straightforward alternative to individual desktop logins, and offline mode can help in locations with unreliable connectivity. The free employee limit is useful for small teams, while growing workforces should compare the headcount caps in the paid tiers.
