  Some businesses have moved entirely away from time cards that literally use a card that is punched by the time clock. These businesses have moved to time clocks that are on computers, where each employee clocks in or out at their own computer station when they come and go. If your business is using QuickBooks, there are a few time clocks that are compatible, helping to simplify the transfer of information from the time clock software to QuickBooks.
  
  

Shopclock

• Shopclock is a software application designed specifically for use by small businesses with 50 employees or less. The process of punching in or out takes employees only two clicks, making the software very user friendly. Because it is for use in businesses, Shopclock is also ready to deploy on a network without any additional software. Shopclock provides password security for each employee's log-in, as well as fields for time off, lunch breaks, overtime and holidays. Proof reports can be generated by HR staff to look for mistakes in the time sheets of employees, making corrections a simpler process.
  
  

Veritask

• Veritask Software makes an employee Web time clock that features a unique way for employees to clock in and out. Instead of employees typing in the time they come into work, leave for the day or go to lunch, employees use a biometric fingerprint reader to record the times they come and go. The biometric reader cuts down on fraudulent time card practices by employees, since they cannot have friends clock them in or out. Using just a finger is also more convenient for employees, and it cuts down on mistakes when entering times on a time card.
  
  

Count Me In

• Software developer Count Me In offers another biometric time card solution for businesses using QuickBooks. The Count Me In time clock software not only records the time employees clock in and out, but it also will transfer the information to QuickBooks. The transfer of information will take place even if the QuickBooks software is not running on a computer at the very moment an employee clocks in or out, meaning HR employees will automatically have the latest time card information on every employee in the company.
