In short
What is Staffic Time and Attendance?
Staffic Time and Attendance is time and attendance tracking software built on the hours your team tracks in the desktop app. Each member's first and last tracked session of the day becomes their clock-in and clock-out, timesheets total the hours, and leave requests record time away. On Elite, managers approve timesheets and Payroll pays from them. Clock In/Out and monthly timesheets start on Standard.
How it works
From tracked hours to approved attendance
Staffic works as a time and attendance app in four steps, with nothing extra for members to punch.
- 01Members track timeEach member starts the desktop timer on a project and task. Hours, activity, apps and URLs are recorded while it runs.
- 02Staffic builds the recordTimesheets total the hours. From Standard, Clock In/Out shows each day's clock-in, clock-out and time worked.
- 03Leave covers time awayMembers request leave for the days they're away, and admins approve it on Elite. Balances count down as requests are approved.
- 04Managers approve, then payOn Elite, approvers check timesheets, and Payroll uses the approved hours.
Time & attendance software
One time and attendance system from hours to payroll
Every part reads the same tracked hours: timesheets total them, Clock In/Out turns them into attendance, and approval and payroll close the loop.
Members track time on projects and tasks in the desktop app. Staffic builds timesheets, clock-ins and clock-outs from those sessions, keeps leave next to them, and on Elite sends approved hours to Payroll.
- Daily, weekly and bi-weekly timesheets on every plan
- Clock In/Out, monthly timesheets and leave balances on Standard
- Leave requests, timesheet approval and Payroll on Elite
Daily, weekly and bi-weekly timesheets add up each member's tracked time per day, on every plan. Standard adds monthly and custom ranges, and any timesheet can be shown in another time zone.
- Daily, weekly and bi-weekly on every plan
- Monthly and custom ranges on Standard and Elite
- Idle and active time shown on Standard and Elite
Nobody punches a separate clock. Clock In/Out reads each member's first and last tracked session of the day, and only the time the timer recorded in between counts as Time Worked.
- Clock-in, clock-out and time worked per day
- Days counted in your organization's time zone
- Standard and Elite plans
Members apply for leave with a date range and a reason, and admins or roles with Leave Management access approve or reject it. Each member's details show the leave days available and taken, so time away is on record instead of in a chat thread.
- Pending, Approved and Rejected requests
- Balances per member on Standard and Elite
- Leave Management page on Elite
Turn approval on for everyone or for chosen members in Settings, Timesheet. Approvers review each awaiting timesheet by project and task, approve it or reject time, and nobody can approve their own hours.
- On for all members or per member
- Approval History keeps past decisions
- Elite plan
When time is added by hand or deleted, the Manual Time report lists the member, the change, its date and the reason given. Admins decide whether members may add manual time at all.
- Added and deleted time with the reason
- Admins switch manual time on or off
- Standard and Elite plans
Payroll multiplies each member's time worked by their pay rate. When approval is on, only approved time counts, and monthly salaries and fixed payments sit on their own tabs.

Control and privacy
You decide who sees hours and attendance
Attendance comes from tracked time only. When a member's timer is off, Staffic records nothing.
- Members see their own hours, clock-ins and leave; admins see the whole team
- Custom roles get team access to Clock In/Out or Leave Management in Settings, Access Control
- Approval is required for everyone or only the members you choose (Elite)
- Nobody approves their own time, admins included
- Admins decide whether members may add manual time (Standard and Elite)

What is time and attendance software?
Time and attendance software records when people work and when they're away, then totals the hours for payroll. Staffic does this from the time your team tracks in its desktop app, so clock-ins, timesheets and leave come from one record. On the Elite plan, managers approve the hours and run payroll from them.
What is a time and attendance system?
It's the whole process for recording hours and absences: the tool, the rules for approving time and the records you keep. In Staffic, that means the desktop app plus your settings: who needs timesheets approved, each member's leave allowance and which roles can see attendance.
What is time and attendance?
Time and attendance means tracking the hours employees work and the days they're present or away. Time covers hours on projects and tasks; attendance covers start and finish times and leave. Staffic keeps both together: hours from the desktop timer, attendance from each day's first and last session, and leave from approved requests.
How do I manage employee time and attendance?
Manage it from one record and a weekly routine. In Staffic, members track time in the desktop app, and you check Clock In/Out and timesheets for missing days, approve leave and, on Elite, approve timesheets before payroll. Keeping hours and leave in separate tools means checking one against the other by hand.
How do I track my employees' time and attendance?
Install the Staffic desktop app for each employee and have them start the timer when they work. The timer records hours on projects and tasks on every plan. From Standard, Clock In/Out turns the same sessions into clock-in and clock-out times, and each member's details show the leave they've taken.
What are the benefits of automated time and attendance records?
Automated records come from the work itself, so nobody fills in a timesheet from memory or forgets to clock out. In Staffic, the clock-in is the first tracked session, time worked leaves out breaks with the timer off, and every manual edit is logged with a reason. Time and attendance systems built this way leave less to check before payroll.
Does time and attendance data feed into payroll and invoices?
Yes, on the Elite plan. Payroll multiplies each member's time worked by their pay rate, and when timesheet approval is on, only approved time counts. An invoice line linked to a project fills in the part of its billable amount that earlier invoices haven't billed, from tracked hours or a fixed fee. Leave days don't change pay amounts on their own.
How much does it cost to use Time and Attendance?
Standard and Elite include Time and Attendance; the Free plan does not. Standard is $5.50 per user per month billed yearly ($1.00 during the current offer, until September 12, 2027) or $7.50 billed monthly, and Elite is $5.80 per user per month billed yearly or $9.80 billed monthly. Both start with a 7-day free trial.
