What is a time and attendance system?

A time and attendance system is a digital solution that helps businesses accurately track employee working hours, shifts, and attendance. Using a modern clocking in system, employees clock in and out through devices such as mobile apps, computers, or biometric terminals, giving employers a clear record of working time, fewer payroll errors, easier compliance, and better overall workforce management.

Where biometric data is used, Computime systems help you handle it in line with UK GDPR.

The Computime website contained all the information I needed, making the decision straightforward. The software proved easy to use and the helpdesk was very helpful and friendly. Computime have exceeded all of our expectations and objectives. I would definitely recommend them.
