Free Trial Questions
Select “Help” on the toolbar of the main status screen of TimeClick software and click on “Help Contents". If you would like an online copy you can download one here.
Yes. After signing up for the trial you will be directed to a page that contains all necessary install files and instructions for installing TimeClick on multiple computers. You can install your time clock software on as many computers as you would like.
The best method of using TimeClick in multiple locations is to download our mobile app. Otherwise, you will need to use a remote access software or some kind of virtual network setup, like a VPN.
Yes. By default, everything you entered during your free time clock software trial period stays in the software when you register it.
Nope. The trial is a fully featured version of the software. The only difference is that registration is needed to unlock the free trial mode.
Your TimeClick employee time and attendance software data is stored locally on your computer. You can backup your computer to the cloud using a third-party provider, but currently, there is no cloud-based version of TimeClick. You can also download our mobile app, which simply allows employees to clock in and out on a mobile device.
All versions of the TimeClick software allow an unlimited number of employees.
Don't panic. If you forgot your password just email our support team at support@timeclick.com or call (435) 753-4102. We'll help you reset it.
Each employee has his/her own password that is used to clock in and out. They simply click on their name, enter their password, and select the appropriate clock in or out action.
Yes, as long as you have accrued time tracking enabled. Employees just select their name from the main screen, enter their password, and click "Launch Employee Options". In the bottom right they'll select the Submit a Time Request to Admin. It is then up to the Admin to approve or deny the request. Learn more in our accrued time blog post.
It sure does. All messaging and notifications are confined to the program, but messages can be sent between the Admin and employees. Employees can also message each other directly within TimeClick if allowed.
TimeClick includes a simple job tracking function. Employees can clock in and out to different jobs. The timesheet reports then show a breakdown of how much time was spent on each job.
Any employee with a regular schedule (e.g. 8-5, Monday-Friday) can have a "Clock Schedule" set up in TimeClick. This clock schedule allows the Admin to set a buffer zone of what they consider on time, late, and early. When that employee clocks in and out outside of the buffer zone, it shows up on their Punctuality Report.
There are a couple of easy ways to modify a forgotten clock in or out. One is for the employee to submit a missed action request. Another method is manually adding the time in Modify Times. And finally, if there are missing actions when you run a report, you'll be notified and allowed to fix them right away.
When you run a report, it opens as a PDF. From there you can print, email, or save it like any other PDF.
An auto lunch deduction feature is available in TimeClick. It's located in an employee's Clock Schedule tab in Admin mode >> Employees.
Definitely. Log into Admin mode and choose the Preferences option. Under the General tab, there is an option to enable breaks and choose whether breaks can be paid, unpaid, or both.

The longer answer: you can select from a variety of report types (an all-hours report, job and department reports, punctuality, accrued time, etc.) and tailor them to your needs. TimeClick offers basic and advanced settings for all the details you need in your report. Check out some sample reports.
Any computer with TimeClick installed that's connected to a printer can print your time card reports.

Absolutely. You can set up your employee(s) to have Restricted Admin privileges. The main Admin picks and chooses exactly what a restricted admin can do. This feature can be set up under the Restrictions tab of the Employees record in Admin mode. A restricted admin accesses their settings in their own Employee Options.
No. You can tell the date range in the Report Center to default either to the last completed pay period or the current pay period. To do so, go to Preferences in Admin mode then to the Pay Period and OT tab. The options for the default date range are listed under the pay period calendar.
Technical Support Questions
This is a registration error. Contact our support team to resolve this issue.
If the workstations won't connect (you're getting an ACC, Connection Failed, or IP Address error), it's usually because of a change in the IP address of the server, the firewall/antivirus, or a network issue. For more details, check out our tech support blog.
