Frequently asked questions.

A time tracking terminal (aka time clocking machine) is a physical device where employees log their work hours on site. Time entries are typically made via chip, card, PIN or fingerprint. Data is transferred in real time to the time tracking software, where it is automatically saved, processed and prepared for payroll and reporting.
Time clocks are the classic form of time tracking – paper-based in the past, digital today. Modern time tracking terminals are the next step: they record work hours electronically and connect directly to the software.
Costs vary depending on the terminal’s features. With TimeTac, you can rent a terminal from EUR 29.90 per month.
The ‘best’ provider depends on your individual requirements – company size, industry, desired features and budget all play a decisive role. What matters most is a combination of reliable hardware, user-friendly software, good integration (for example with payroll) and dependable support.

Advantages:

  • Simple and fast time tracking on site
  • Tamper-proof time entries
  • Ideal for employees without PC access
  • Automatic data transfer and reporting

Disadvantages:

  • Hardware rental costs
  • Less flexible than mobile solutions (e.g. apps)
Installation is straightforward. A terminal is typically mounted in a central location (e.g. the entrance area) and requires only a few connections.
