Time and Attendance Systems

biotime provides time and attendance systems for employers across Australia, run from its Southport office in Queensland and built around cloud software that turns every clock-in into payroll ready hours.

  • Biometric capture through the biotime817 and biotime505 time clocks, using fingerscan, facial recognition, RFID card, keypad password or QR code, with offline operation and capacity for up to 5000 employees per device.
  • An award interpretation engine that applies modern awards and business rules at the point of capture, so timesheets reach payroll already calculated.
  • The biotime mobile app for staff on the move, combining facial recognition clock-ins with location data, single user and shared modes, and availability on the App Store and Google Play.
  • Rostering, leave and absence management, job costing by job code and tailored management reporting with role based access.

Best for: Australian employers in freight and logistics, manufacturing, agriculture and fisheries, waste management, labour hire and construction that need verified employee hours flowing straight into payroll.
