Whenever I hit management with the cost for the SaaS ones, I always get cringes lol
Wait till they figure out they have to pay their internal IT to write a timeclock app

Use a SaaS of course. As someone recently posted on here, you can restrict IPs of your timeclock SaaS to just your office location(s) so people cannot use it from home.
Do most SaaS timeclocks work from a cell phone? (as in an app)
Would you make them connect to the Office WiFi to punch in if you were going to allow them to use their cellphone?
You can do geofencing so they don't have to be connected to wifi. Most of them have apps, too.
I'm thinking about mounting a couple android tablets to the wall as kiosks for people to clock in and out. I don't think we would allow cell phones, but that's definitely an option if your customer wants that.

I like this idea. Or an All-In-One Wyse Terminal that only has a browser and one allow web address.

We use Paycom, both for timeclock and payroll.
Is timeclock only an option?
no clue.

You could be doing stuff that actually needs to be done, though.

Those kinds of companies never see it that way. They consider him spent money, don't matter that other things get behind.

That, and there's always downtime. I could keep our current thing going long enough to poke at something a couple hours a week until it's done.

But it's never done. You'll always have to maintain it, manage it, back it up, migrate it to new hardware, etc. Moving to a SaaS solution not only frees you up, it could likely free up people in accounting to do other work, or downsize.

We use Clockify.

Wow, i was looking into this as well this morning as we found a few spare Android Tablets.
All we need is simple Employee clock in clock out. Simple touch screen click your name in and click it out.
Maybe in the future use RFID or NFC tag. -
I have a client that uses Kimai for this.
-
I mean I would check with the company that does the payroll for you and most now are offering the app with geofencing controls for punching in and out.At least ADP has that.
-
I tried both Kimai and Clockify, they are more oriented towards project time tracking. I don't believe that's what @JasGot is looking for, it's certainly not what we're looking for.
Are you looking for something to track how much time each employee works on individual projects or are you looking for something to track how many hours people are clocked in for payroll?
I can see arguments coming that you shouldn't have one without the other... but nonetheless, that isn't what we need.

Just treat the working day as a project. One project, and then project time trackers work great.

Not sure if already mentioned, but we use TSheets

A place I used to work for used a mob called Kronos.
