What is QuickBooks Time?

QuickBooks Time (formerly TSheets) is a cloud-based time tracking and scheduling app that allows employees to clock in and out from the job site with the devices they’ve already got in their pockets. The vendor aims to help companies replace paper timesheets with accurate, electronic time data as well as make payroll and invoicing faster and less costly.

QuickBooks Time also accurately tracks time and GPS points (even without cell or internet service) then automatically syncs when back in service, making it a better (and cheaper) alternative to geofencing.

The Who’s Working” feature enables companies to see where employees are located and who’s working on what in real time. QuickBooks Time also features in-app scheduling that allows users to drag and drop shifts, assign jobs, see who’s working at a glance, and send alerts to managers if employees haven’t clocked in for a job or shift as scheduled.

The vendor offers free unlimited phone, email, and chat support to all customers.

Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

It is used to track employees time, save as additional records and then transferred to QuickBooks to complete weekly payroll data. It is being used by all employees. Entering hourly time into TSheets saves time, reduces paper files, and allows remote entry.
  • Once setup is complete, entering payroll by the employees or supervisor is quick and easy.
  • Tsheets gives another level of electronic backup of records.
  • The customer service is excellent
  • I would have a mandatory class on customer mapping to ensure users start on the right foot.
Tsheets is well suited for small and medium size companies. A large company may require a robust system.

TSheets will be used by our subcontractors to track time while working for our customers. The onsite managers will use TSheets to approve the time which will then allow our administrators to run monthly customer invoicing automatically. Using TSheets addresses the manual processes currently in place for time tracking, approvals and invoicing every month which is extremely time-consuming.
  • Product is very flexible and configurable. Nearly everything we wanted to achieve in what we wanted our users to see and not see was manageable.
  • Integration to QuickBooks is invaluable. Tracking time in a stand alone app would not solve our real business problem which is accurate time tracking and replacement of manual invoicing processes.
  • On-boarding process was amazing. I've never experienced such fantastic support from any third party application provider. Sadam walked us through the company settings and setups and spent two hours answering questions and getting us ready to launch.
  • Personalized user experience would be a nice to have, certainly not required by any means but having the ability for each user to control the experience of their view would be helpful, such as what they see when they first log in.
  • Turning on and off reports for different users would be helpful. We don't want to expose all reports to all users. It may confuse them if they have access to features that they don't need.
  • Would like to see an easier method for showing that timesheets have been approved by the manager. For example, when the payroll departments of our customers are looking for proof of manager approval before paying our invoices, there's no easy way to show this.
Works great for staffing and employment companies and as a small business is a natural choice if you are already using QuickBooks.

We implemented Tsheets for the entire company. It helps us address accurate hourly tracking for various events at multiple locations.
  • Tsheets has a very proactive support system. The ability to "chat" with a person, such as Max (Thanks again Max!!) to get immediate assistance has been invaluable.
  • Tsheets is always listening to its users to implement changes and improvement - but sometimes the changes don't work across the board. For instance, you can add the feature to round employee time to the nearest measurement (there are several options) but it then rounds everything - including breaks and switching jobs which no longer allows the employee the allocated time.
While Tsheets is quite versatile I recommend trying to find a business very similar in organization in their cases to view. We started without realizing that the nature of our business (multi departments with multiple schedules, billing and scheduling processes) meant that not all areas of TSheets would work for all of our departments. So, we are having to learn what fits where. This is both a good and bad thing as we are evaluating internally but a very messy process.

After purchasing new computers for our office I ran into a bit of an issue in connecting Tsheets with Quickbooks. Elaina did a wonderful job at helping me resolve a problem with web connector. The solution was quick and easy and she got me back up and running in a matter of minutes! Thank you Elaina!
  • Enables our crew to track time across multiple jobs.
  • Keeps me from having to manually input every employee's time into QuickBooks.
  • Tech Support is awesome!
  • It would be nice if it were easier to clock in and out via text or phone call.
  • I wish we had the ability to copy one employee's time sheet and create another time sheet for another employee. Our crew works in teams and sometimes it would be helpful if I could copy one time sheet for multiple employees.
TSheets works well in the construction industry where a crew was working on multiple jobs during the course of day.

We used TSheets across the entire organization. It solves many problems. Our employees can easily clock-in and out from their smartphones or company kiosk, whether they are on-site or at a customer location. We can track hours by job and service item, location of the employee, and leave balance. Employees can also see their leave balance anytime.
  • User interface is intuitive for users and managers. This made training and user adoption easy.
  • The app has never had a glitch. So support is minimal.
  • Interfaces with QuickBooks for customers, jobs and service items. We only have to maintain one version of our lists.
  • Online Chat. TSheets employees are fast to respond and have always resolved the issue on the first contact. Elaina is great!
  • The web app can look very busy.
Works best where all users have smartphones, access to wifi (or free cellular data), and training on your internal job codes.

I use Tsheets for tracking time for a client's employees in his construction business. It allows us to see what job they are at and when they leave that job. I can also track their paid time off and holiday hours. It gets the employees' time into QuickBooks payroll seamlessly.
  • Tracks time for jobs or projects.
  • Tracks paid time off and holiday hours.
  • Allows us to see where the employees are when they clock in and out.
  • They could add a way to calculate mileage using the GPS feature. We reimburse for mileage, but the employees have to manually calculate it and enter the miles into a data field. Then that has to be manually added up and entered into payroll.
Great for tracking time for multiple jobs or projects.

I am a small business owner of just 1 employee. TSheets allows me to easily and accurately track my time when working on specific projects with my customers. The added benefit of integration with QuickBooks Online also helps me be more efficient when tracking my time. And finally, when it comes time to bill my clients, I can provide them with accurate time tracking that ensures them that they are being invoiced correctly.
  • Tracking time by client.
  • Detailed reporting by project.
  • Tight integration with Quickbooks Online.
  • It would be nice to have some short and to the point tutorials from TSheets.
  • Reporting options. I would like to be able to do reporting, by customer, by more than one service item.
  • The approval process could be a little less involved.
If a customer wants to track employees using the mobile app, then this is the tool for them. Although I do not need or use that functionality, I can see a real benefit where a service company would like to track employees while on service calls and making sure they are billing the correct customer based on their location.

Tsheets is used for my small carpet cleaning company as our time management system. It allows the employees to clock in and out on their phones which is helpful since some of the employees work in the field. I also like the GPS aspect since it allows me to manage their work schedules based on jobs and availability of the individual technicians in the field on a particular day.
  • TSheets' mobile app is easy to use for the employees.
  • In operating a service based business, the GPS system is helpful in managing my schedule to know where the technicians are at and who can do what jobs.
  • The back end side TSheets and the customer support is so easy and helpful to use.
  • The only thing I can think of is either add payroll services or making the system more easily integrated with some of the payroll systems which are available on the market.
Again, I know it works well with my service based business, but I've haven't had problems with it yet, so I'm not sure where it would be less appropriate.

It addresses paying our part-time employees by tracking employees. It has replaced two time reporting systems easing Monday payrolls. Shandara with Tsheets helped me fix an overtime issue and trained me on mapping and did it with great humor.

  • Mapping invoices
It is very suitable for tracking time for part-time and seasonal employees.

My company uses Tsheets to track time and internally we use the data to sync with QuickBase. I enjoy using Tsheets, it is a very intuitive application that has the flexibility to meet all my companies needs. Any and really all issues I have had with the product have been quickly resolved by their excellent support staff. Thank you, Emma!!!!!! If you are not using this software you are missing out on simplifying your business while gaining more insight.
  • Time Tracking
  • Job Costing
  • Employee Mapping
  • Each company should get a free admin account. I don't mind paying per user but I feel they should throw in an admin for free.
I don't know any hourly employee that would not benefit from this.

Currently using a manual system where I have to manually enter time for my employees. I'm moving to TSheets because the process is automated and my accountant recommended it. I feel that it will save me time and money. Customer support is one on one support.

I have been looking to move services for the last year and they have always answered any questions that I have had in the past.
  • Customer service
  • Updated technology
  • GPS integration with cell phones
This is great for my company because my employee are off site. I need to be able to track and see if that showed up for work and what time. I have to be accountable to my client and TSheets allows me to do just that. This is great for any contractor.

We're using Tsheets for staff to track their time against customers/jobs/classes and importing into QuickBooks for billings purposes and corporate reporting.
  • Their customer support is awesome - Amanda was most helpful.
  • Was simple to set up and implement.
  • Staff like that they don't have to carry a note book any longer to keep track of time spent on customer accounts and transfer into a timesheet system at end of day/week.
  • Like the ability to use the mobile app when on the move.
  • In the Canadian version of QuickBooks can not use the web connector drop down in QuickBooks, we have to run the connector each time from Tsheets. Seems backward.
  • Want the ability to change font size on the mobile app to be smaller so that customer jobs on the app can be seen better. They truncate and cut off part of the job. We had to be creative in our job names in QuickBooks to see them on the app.
Always room for improvement

TSheets is currently used for our time management system. It integrates beautifully with my QuickBooks program so I can complete payroll efficiently. We utilize the Customers and Groups options in TSheets to be able to complete job costing accurately. TSheets is very user-friendly and the customer service is the best I have dealt with in my working career. I had a lot of contact with them in the beginning and every once in a while will contact them with a question. John today, for instance, was very knowledgeable not only with TSheets but with QuickBooks as well. Everyone I have ever spoken to has been absolutely fabulous to deal with and my problem is always resolved before the call was over. I would never go with anyone else.
  • Anyone I have ever spoken to in customer service is very knowledgeable. If they don't know the answer they will find out.
  • Very user-friendly application.
  • Smooth transition into QuickBooks.

My client (a non-profit organization with 9 employees) utilizes TSheets for their time tracking as a whole. TSheets allows my client to track time based on different job classes, which provides easier reporting in QuickBooks.
  • The program is extremely user-friendly when it comes to time entering, and tracking time as well.
  • TSheets has the ease of importing information into QuickBooks or other software such as ADP, or Kiosk.
  • It is easy to input and edit settings of authorization for each manager.
  • I would recommend creating a setting where managers and/or administrators can approve PTO requests.
PTO balances in particular are super easy to adjust. Rather than toggling between pulling up each employee individually to update the balances, an Excel spreadsheet can be exported and imported into TSheets--making it a much quicker and easier process!

I am using tsheets for our consulting company that is being used by all members of our company. It is being used to organize our time for customer billing. Our customers can have several different accounts that projects are charged to or projects that just need to be grouped together for record keeping and history of different project costs.
  • Great customer service
  • Manage time for employees and customers for billing and pay
  • Ability to customize what information you would like to track
  • I would like the ability to select a customer and to run an approval report on.
Time tracking for consulting.

I am not sure if this would be a program for you if you were a service worker and had a large amount of material that you had to add to your hours worked when you were generating an invoice ( i.e. electrician, plumber, welder).

We use TSheets for everybody in our company, myself included. It makes it very easy for employees to track not only their total work time but also to track by client and project, which makes payroll and client billing extremely simple. All it takes is a few simple clicks to export information from TSheets into our payroll system and then payroll is done in just a few minutes. We also can import that same information directly into our accounting system to track time by client. Employees can access it on their phones as well, making it simple and convenient whether they're in the office or on the road.
  • TSheets makes it incredibly simple for employees to track their work. All it takes is a click to clock in and they're ready to work. They can track time by client, and by project whether they're in the office or on the road, or even working at home.
  • TSheets makes it easy for me to see at a glance not only who is working, but where they're at, and what they're working on. I can receive alerts if someone doesn't clock in on time, if someone clocks out early, or if someone is coming up on overtime. It makes it much simpler to track time properly.
  • TSheets makes it easy to track billable time by client and/or project. A few clicks and the time information is exported to our accounting software and I can easily create time-based invoices by client - with reports to back it up if necessary. It saves an incredible amount of time on both payroll and client billing.
  • The only thing I've run into that I think I would like to see change is the My Time Card option to pop-out from the website into a new window on your computer. It would be really nice if this had an "always on top" option so that it doesn't get buried under multiple windows. This would make it even simpler than it already is to switch time between projects.
TSheets is great for businesses whose employees don't always work in the office - they can clock in and out no matter whether they're at a client meeting, in the office, on the road, or working at home. They can use it on their computer, on their phone, their tablet, anywhere they can access the internet or the mobile app. It's also wonderful for businesses who need to track time by client and/or job. It makes it easy and simple for everyone to do that and alerts management if something isn't right.

We are a small company so we are using across the whole organization, but in the future, we would love to use it by department. What we look for in using Tsheets is to track the employees' time. We have part to full time employees, and know what they are working on and add a simple note.
  • GPS Tracking
  • Sending reminders
  • Customer Service
  • What other users have told me is that desktop service is not user-friendly. I have not had problems using it but what others told me is that they find it easier to use the app on their phones.
I love the idea that it can still be used even without having internet connection. We track employees in other countries and sometimes the internet is difficult to have. With TSheets this is possible.

We use TSheets to track our production team. It is one of the easiest systems to use that I've encountered. This app allows easy mobile verification and has an easy control system in place.
  • Tsheets is easy to use, even for those who don't like mobile apps or time tracking.
  • Customer service is top notch! They are never too busy, irritated or bothered by your questions, even if you call a lot (like I did). Dawn was so helpful with me today, and although she was relatively new, she was able to assist me with everything that I asked her.
  • It has a lot of controls.
  • Customer service is top notch
  • Editing time sheets themselves. I often have had to go back to insert time into an employee's record to make it easier for them to follow. Editing time records after they have been entered isn't always easy.
  • Reading the calculated time bar at the top could be improved. I love the break out on the payroll report, however, it can mislead employees into believing they have worked more hours than they actually have.
Tsheets is well suited to a smaller business environment. I think anything over 500 employees may be a little too much. But I could be wrong!

Tsheets is being used by the entire company. It helps address the accuracy of time tracking and the efficiency of obtaining time cards at the end of the pay period.
  • The integration with QuickBooks is great. Specifically the employee information, service items, and customer information.
  • The many options for 'permissions' is extremely helpful and provides nice flexibility to any company's needs.
  • The customer service is phenomenal!
  • The GPS tracking is a great feature as well.
  • One function that I have not seen yet is the ability to assign workers comp codes to the various 'service' items. One employee could be working in 4 different area or services. Each service then has a different workers comp code with a different premium rate that is calculated by the hours worked per employee. For construction companies, this would be a nice "add-on" feature.
I believe Tsheets is well suited for field employees or mobile employees who can directly bill their time to specific projects. It might be less necessary for office workers who sit at the same desk every day with the same schedule and are considered "overhead" employees.
