It replaces spreadsheets and disconnected tools with a single system of record, giving HR teams, managers and employees real-time visibility across the entire workforce.
Yes, edays offer clocking in functionality. Employees can clock in and clock out of work via desktop or mobile app in just a few taps.

These can then be sent for approval to managers, who can also run reports on working hours in their teams.
Overtime can also be tracked, and mandatory breaks can be enforced.
edays timesheet software also provides the ability to assign working hours to different projects and activities, for a clear picture on how time is spent in your organisation.
edays time & attendance software is a module that enables organisations to record employee working hours. The software consists of various elements – including the ability to clock in and out, either via desktop or mobile app. Refreshable, printable QR codes can also be placed in different locations and by scanning them, employees can clock in to a certain area or task.
Our time tracking software also includes the ability to create and submit online timesheets on a weekly or monthly basis. Timesheets can be submitted to line managers for approval, and reported on on a weekly or monthly basis. Projects, activities or tasks can be assigned to timesheets, so managers can see how much time has been spent on different work throughout a day, week or month.
The software also allows managers to enforce mandatory breaks, and overtime can be logged within the system too.
