What Timed does
Everything you need to run attendance for a South African team — from the first clock-in of the day to the hours on the payslip.
Clocking in
However your people work, there's a way to clock in that suits them.
- Phone: an app employees install straight from the browser — no app store needed. Read more →
- Shared branch kiosk: scan the site's QR code and enter a PIN. Read more →
- HikVision facial recognition terminals and ZKTeco devices. Read more →
- GPS and selfie checks on every clock-in, with doubtful ones flagged for review. Read more →
- Data Free: employees use Timed without spending their own mobile data.
Shifts, sites and the roster
Know who should be where, and see straight away when they're not.
- Employees linked to one or more sites, each with their shift there.
- Late clock-in alerts to the right managers, shortly after a shift starts. Read more →
- A daily shift report of who came in, who was late and who's away. Read more →
- Automatic clock-out for anyone who forgets at the end of their shift. Read more →
- Absences counted against the roster, with approved leave taken into account.
Approvals, leave and reports
Catch the exceptions before they reach the payslip.
- Over- and under-time and missing clock-outs sent for supervisor and manager approval. Read more →

The Attendance Copilot
Ask questions in plain language and get answers from your live data.

- It only ever sees what your role in Timed lets you see.
Payroll
Stop retyping hours and leave between systems.
- PaySpace: employees and leave come in from PaySpace; approved hours are checked in a dry run, then sent to payslips. Read more →
- SimplePay: employees linked by payroll number, leave imported every night. Read more →
Control and security
The right people see the right things.
- Roles for owners, managers, HR and field managers, each with sensible permissions you can adjust. Read more →
- Field managers only see the sites they manage.
- Several companies under one login, with a simple company switcher.
