What is clocking in software?

Clocking-in software records when employees start and finish work. With Breathe Rota, Time & Attendance software, employees can clock in and out, record breaks and submit their hours, while managers can see what’s happening during the working day and check hours before payday.

What does a clock-in system do?

Breathe Rota, Time & Attendance helps you:

  • Let employees clock in and out, record breaks and submit their working hours.
  • See who’s working, who’s late, who’s on a break and who hasn’t arrived.
  • Review approved hours, overtime and breaks, then export the information as a CSV ready for payroll.

Give employees one clear place to clock-in and out, record breaks and submit their hours.

Record working hours with less chasing

Give employees more control over their hours

Rota and time information gives managers a clearer picture of the day as it unfolds. They can see when someone is late, taking a break or hasn’t arrived, making it easier to respond when cover is needed and support the team when plans change.

Breathe makes HR admin a breeze

With 40+ features and growing, Breathe makes HR admin easy for businesses with up to 250 people.

What good time tracking looks like in practice

Time tracking works best when it helps people stay informed, rather than adding another layer of admin. Employees should know how to see their shifts and record their hours, while managers should be able to check the information they need without piecing it together from spreadsheets and messages.

Give employees more control over their hours

Employees should have a straightforward way to clock in and out, record breaks and submit their hours. With Breathe Rota, Time & Attendance, they can keep their working hours up to date in one place. Managers can review and approve timesheets, including manual entries, before exporting them for payroll.

Keep managers informed during the day

Good time tracking gives managers a clearer view of what’s happening across the team. Breathe Rota, Time & Attendance shows who’s working, who’s late, who’s on a break and who hasn’t arrived, so managers can respond to staffing issues as they happen.

Check hours before payday

The end of the pay period shouldn’t mean searching through spreadsheets and messages for missing information. A clear record of hours, breaks and overtime gives managers a better starting point when checking what’s ready for payroll.

Always so helpful

We have used BreatheHR for several years but just as a HR system, we are now looking at introducing T&A and using the employee self service functionality. They genuinely could not be more helpful, every question asked receives a timely and comprehensive response. Very impressive - keep up the great work!
