Overview
QuickBooks Time is Intuit's time and attendance product for teams that already run QuickBooks Online. Employees clock in from the Workforce app, a shared kiosk, or the web. Managers approve timesheets, track who is on site, and attach photos. Scheduling, time off, and job tracking are in the same product. Time Premium covers core attendance. Time Elite adds mileage, project estimates versus actuals, activity feeds, and timesheet signatures.
Teams pick it to cut payroll double entry when hours need to land in QuickBooks. Time Premium is $20 per month plus $10 per user per month, with the first admin included. Time Elite is $40 per month plus $12 per user. Workforce Premium and Elite bundles add full-service payroll, hiring, and HR tools at higher per-employee rates.
