What is a time and attendance software?

Software used to track time and attendance, typically of employees, contractors, or students.

Why use a time and attendance software?

There are several reasons why businesses track time and attendance:

  1. Attendance – to know whether employees are coming in on time and not leaving early.
  2. Payroll – if employees are paid by the hour or for overtime, those hours need to be measured.
  3. Compliance – in most developed countries it is the obligation of the employer to ensure that employees are not working more than the legal limit.

How is Jibble different?

Here are four key differences (although there are many more)…

1. Jibble is 100% FREE.

2. Jibble is focused on ensuring that each clock in and out is genuine (if you need to know that your employees were there at the time they said they were there, nothing beats Jibble in terms of our biometric attendance software).

3. Jibble’s work hours tracker is dead easy to use, with most staff understanding how it works through our easy-to-understand interface.

4. If you look at the broad consensus of reviews and ratings, there is no higher-rated time and attendance software than Jibble.

Listen, Jibble isn't for me. What time and attendance alternatives are there?

We understand Jibble isn’t for everyone, no product is.

The good news is that there are plenty of other options out there, although none are as highly reviewed from independent reviewers and users as Jibble.

To help you make the right choice, we’ve reviewed honestly all the alternatives, and here are our top 6 time and attendance software picks.

Is there a free time and attendance software?

Yes, there is. Jibble is a 100% free time and attendance software, free without any employee or time limit.

Jibble does have optional upgrades, which many larger SMEs and enterprises are likely to want, but for most businesses, particularly smaller ones, the free version is more than enough.

Find out more about our upgrade plans.

Why does Jibble offer a free plan?

Jibble is free because we believe time and attendance tracking shouldn’t come at a cost. Jibble is 100% FREE for unlimited users, giving you essential features like clock-ins, clock-outs, attendance records, and timesheets—all in one powerful platform.

Is it ethical to track employee location?

Many businesses need to know that employees are at their work location. As long as employee location is tracked during working times and employees are informed that their location is tracked, it’s generally considered to be ethical to track employees’ locations.

Is it illegal to track employees attendance?

You should seek advice from a lawyer in the jurisdiction in question, but broadly speaking, it is not illegal to track your employees’ attendance during work hours. BTW while getting advice from your lawyer please do let them know that Jibble is great for lawyer time tracking too!

Anyway, there are sometimes some restrictions on what you can do with this data, how long you can keep it, and your employees’ access to it.

Jibble is GDPR compliant. Read our privacy policy.

Can someone help me get set up with Jibble?

While using Jibble is really easy, setting it all up so it works with the time policies of your organization isn’t always that easy.

So, feel free to book a meeting with one of our experts to help you get set up.
