An Audit Trail Behind Every Hour

Saying "eight hours" on an invoice is easy. Backing it up when the client balks - or when a licensing board comes knocking - is where most software falls short. BizBooks Pro keeps a complete record behind each billable line so you can always show the work.

Line-to-Timer Traceability

Every invoice row built from the timer stays connected to the original stopwatch record. Adjust the hours, rewrite the description, apply a write-down - the underlying entry remains on file, unchanged and accessible.

No More Vanishing Minutes

A 30-second call at $600 an hour now bills for the correct $5 instead of collapsing to nothing. Timestamps capture each timer to the second, so tiny durations convert accurately rather than being wiped out by rounding.

Private Timer Stamp on Each Line

Open an invoice for editing and you'll find a discreet timestamp note tucked under every line that came from a timer - start moment, stop moment, and elapsed time. Staff see it internally; it never makes it onto the customer's PDF copy.

Printable Billing Record

A single button produces an internal-use printout covering every timer that fed the invoice: when it ran, how long, at what rate, for what amount, and who logged it. Print on paper or save as PDF - ready for a client file or a disciplinary response.

Why legal professionals care: State bar rules and trust-accounting standards in most jurisdictions require contemporaneous, verifiable records of billed time. A timestamped chain of evidence turns a generic fee line into documented work product - exactly what you'll want in hand if a grievance is filed or a fee motion reaches court.

NEW: Employee Punch Clock (Kiosk + Mobile)

Service trades, restaurants, retail, cleaning crews, construction sites - if you have hourly employees or independent contractors, you now get a full punch-card system built right into your accounting software. No more $20-50/month QuickBooks Time or When I Work bolt-on.

Shared Kiosk with PIN

Mount a tablet or PC at the job site. Workers tap their name, enter a 4-digit PIN, and they're clocked in. PINs are bcrypt-hashed and lock out after 5 failed attempts.

Worker's Own Phone

Field workers, remote staff, and 1099 contractors can punch in from their own device. Big green Clock In button, big red Clock Out, live elapsed timer.

Photo Capture (No Buddy Punching)

Front-facing camera snaps a selfie at clock-in with a 3-2-1 countdown. Stops one worker from punching in for another. Per-employee override if needed.

GPS Location Stamp

Captures latitude, longitude, and accuracy at clock-in. Each punch links to a Google Maps pin in the manager view - useful for verifying on-site work.

Project / Job Tagging

Workers pick the job or project they're working on at clock-in. Hours auto-allocate to project profitability reports without any manual sorting later.

40-Hour Overtime, Automatic

Federal OT rules built in: any hours over 40 in a workweek count as 1.5x. Adjustable threshold per company. OT flagged in orange on the manager view.

Manager Approval Queue

Weekly grid of every employee × every day. One click expands the row to see photos, GPS pins, notes, and project. Approve per-punch, per-employee-week, or bulk approve everything pending.

Payroll-Ready Export

Gusto and ADP CSV formats one click away. Approved hours export with regular and overtime broken out. Locks the entries so they can't be edited after they hit payroll.

How a Shift Flows Through the System

1

Clock In

Worker taps name → PIN → photo + GPS + project

2

Clock Out

Tap name again → notes about the shift → done

3

Approve

Manager reviews weekly grid, photos, GPS, approves

4

Pay

Export to Gusto / ADP CSV - or invoice the customer for billable hours

Independent contractors too: Tracking time for 1099 contractors works exactly the same way. They get a PIN (or login on their phone), they punch in and out, and approved hours flow straight to their year-end 1099 totals. No separate contractor system needed.
