## What is Time Clock by Homebase?

The Homebase time clock makes it easy to track your employees’ time and attendance -- for free.

The Homebase time clock helps you:
Reduce payroll headaches. Accurately track your employees’ hours, and easily edit time cards when necessary. Then easily export to run payroll.


Stay compliant with labor laws. Integrated timesheets make it easy to see who took a break and when. And employee time cards, including edit history, are stored securely in the cloud to ensure FLSA compliance. 

Save on labor costs. Set up early clock-in prevention and get notified when employees are about to hit overtime. 

Eliminate buddy punching and time theft.  Automatically snap a photo so you can be sure the right person is clocking in and out. 

The Homebase time clock app for iPad works seamlessly with all of our time clock apps using a secure PIN. So your employees can clock in on your iPad and clock out from their smartphone, computer, or your point of sale terminal. 

And there’s a built-in offline mode, so you’ll never miss a clock out—even with unreliable wi-fi.

The Homebase time clock integrates with popular payroll providers to make running payroll a breeze. Employee time cards are automatically formatted for easy import.

### 1/5 — Cambiar

*2025-06-06, version 5.06.2*

Esta nueva actualización es demasiado lenta y las personas no pueden ponchar bien sus horas

### 1/5 — Good until “update”

*2024-09-02*

Pls undo update all u did was make it longer to clock in, made the buttons smaller, and overall ruined the app pls just undo it, idk why u even downgraded in the first place the normal one was fine. Why clock in immediately when u can wait 10 seconds like what.

**Developer response:** We’re really sorry the update has made your experience worse instead of better. That’s never our goal. Updates are meant to improve usability and save time—not add frustration—and we’re truly sorry that hasn’t been your experience.

We hear your feedback and take it seriously. One thing that may help is making sure your device is running the latest OS version and that the Homebase app is fully updated. Clearing the app cache in your phone’s settings can also help improve performance.

We’d love the chance to walk you through the changes and help make things smoother. Please reach out through the Support tab in the app or email us at help@joinhomebase.com. Thanks for your honesty—and for being the best part of Homebase. 💜

### 1/5 — Terrible Support

*2024-02-01, version 5.0*

Reps are quick to email and call to pitch additional services, yet a single basic support question remained unresolved despite asking through multiple channels. At least this was at the get go, allowing us to move on to other options before too much time is wasted.

### 4/5 — Needs more features

*2023-10-26*

There should be an option for employees to view their schedules from this app. It does not make sense need manager PIN to see schedule. Otherwise a great app.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-09-22*

Bought an iPad, paid for a yearly membership, Timeclock app requires owner credentials every 30mins. I don’t always have an owner or manager available. But because of this I have a line of employee waiting to clock in. Should I return everything? Very disappointing. I have no published schedules.

### 1/5 — Exasperating

*2021-08-04*

If its working, its slow at best and the new version of time sheets STILL does not work but LOOK OUT if you need tech support…OMG 3.5 hours on the phone with a tech named Cherry, she knows NOTHING!  My time and attendance still  did not export and my payroll had to be keyed in manually!  I get am email that my problem had be escalated and that someone would get back to me with in two business days…REALLY 2 business days…ok ill tell my staff to expect their checks 2 days late 🤦‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️  i am now looking for a different time and attendance to use because my blood pressure can no longer take this…

### 1/5 — Unusable after update

*2021-06-25*

We’ve used this app for 4 years and it’s never been great. The option to have free service for our small business was more of our focus. Now the app has updates and won’t move passed the sign in screen. My staff cannot clock in creating more work for my management team. My staff needs to be able to trust their timecards are accurate.

### 3/5 — New version is a downgrade

*2020-01-28*

Older version allow employee to see their timesheet. New version does not. Transparency is important with our employees. This is a downgrade.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Employees can visit our mobile app or visit our website at app.joinhomebase.com to have full transparency and review timesheets in detail.
