Free Employee Time Clock and Scheduling Software


As a small business owner, managing employee time and schedules effectively is important to controlling costs and keeping your business running efficiently. However, many of the most well-known employee management systems and tools can be quite expensive. The good news is there are free options available that provide useful functionality for managing employee time and scheduling. Here are a few free tools to consider:


• Clockify: Clockify is a simple free time clock app that allows you to track employee hours worked and time off. You can see who is clocked in at any given time, export time sheet reports, and get productivity metrics on your team. It is available on the web or as an iOS and Android mobile app, allowing employees to clock in and out on the go. 


• When I Work: When I Work is a free employee scheduling software. It allows you to create schedules, assign shifts, track time off requests, and communicate with your team. The tool is intuitive and easy to use, with scheduling capabilities like drag and drop shifts, auto-fill suggestions, and availability management. It is available via the web or mobile apps. When I Work is free for teams up to 75 people.


• TSheets: TSheets starts free for one user and provides simple tools to track time, create schedules, manage jobs and shifts, and track employee location (with permission). You get reporting and analytics to gain visibility into employee work hours, overtime, and labor costs. TSheets integrates with payroll systems like Quickbooks and has paid plans to scale to larger businesses. But the free version can work well for smaller teams. 


• Google Calendar: For very small teams, you can't beat the simplicity of Google Calendar. You can create dedicated calendars to schedule employee shifts, time off, jobs, and more. Share calendars with specific employees to provide the visibility they need. While not as full featured as dedicated scheduling software, Google Calendar is free, easy to use, and works with the Google tools you already rely on.


For small businesses on a tight budget, free time clock and employee scheduling software can help reduce time-consuming manual processes while still providing useful workforce management functionality. With options at varying levels of complexity, there are good choices for nearly any small business's needs.
