TimeTrex is a workforce management platform that brings time and attendance, payroll, scheduling, and HR management together. Employees can clock in through a browser, mobile app, biometric facial-recognition timeclock, or traditional timeclock. Geolocation and geofencing can control and verify clock-in locations, with break tracking and attendance reports also available. Managers can assign shifts, handle swaps and time-off requests, and provide schedules through a browser or mobile synchronization. Payroll tools calculate taxes and deductions and support direct deposit, check printing, and electronic pay stubs. Integrations include ADP, QuickBooks, Sage, Paychex, and Ceridian; API connections can share data with accounting, hiring, and HR software. TimeTrex is available as cloud-hosted or on-site software, and customers can move between those deployments.

The paid service has no free plan and includes a 30-day trial.
