Ask HN: Web app where hourly employees can "clock in"?

There's got to be a sweet web app to replace the old clock card machine. Any suggestions?

We make MinuteDock (http://minutedock.com). More of a standard time-tracking program than a clock-card machine, but serves the same purpose </shamelessplug> ;)

http://minutedock.com?

I have experience with TimeForce, and it was pretty easy from an IT perspective. We used a digital punch in box, and then had it networked back to our main office from two locations.

The technological challenge is already solved. You could do something similar like www.hipmunk.com, and basically solve the social and interface problems.

We ended up pulling the system out of there for social reasons. Time clocks hurt morale.

http://trails.es is a little too I designed to fill this void. It's unfinished and thus free, but it works and I use to every day. Just dont try to drag tasks from one list to another. It'll light our server on fire (not really, it simply breaks your account until its been manually fixed ;)e Feedback is welcome.

There are hundreds of these. Web clock, physical clock, phone or mobile? Need to track client hours, or just in/out times? Some combination?

At http://www.TimeForge.com we handle both software and hardware clocks, along with integration for retail / restaurants.

At work we use Kronos. It supports both card swipes and online log-ins. I do work for a University, so it's a pretty big employee base. Though I actually prefer to swipe my ID to clock in and out. It's easier to get into the habit. Currently I clock in and out online and I forget at least 2 or 3 punches a month.

So many companies use big names like ADP or Paychex for processing that it just makes sense to use their systems to clock hours. I'm familiar with clocking in at ADP. It works, but its not pretty. It might make sense to have a small scale app for smaller companies that don't use big guys in the room.

Time Force has some browser and mobile-based time clocks available at the bottom of the page:

We've been using http://getcashboard.com for more than two years. It's terrific. It does invoicing and a bunch of other stuff in addition to time tracking.

http://www.clicktime.com

I wrote the industry's first Ajax-powered punch clock for them many years ago and it's since been improved quite a bit.

What are you working on now?

We use http://www.slimtimer.com at work and we're very happy with it.

We use http://timetrex.com/. I think they may have a hosted solution.

http://www.clockspot.com/ kinda
