Time tracking, audit-proof by default
Clock in, clock out, validate by day or week, Leavo turns punches into payroll-ready timesheets with a full audit trail.
What is employee time tracking?
Time tracking, also called clock in/clock out or timesheet management, is the practice of recording when employees start and stop work, including breaks, so worked hours can be measured accurately. It turns attendance into reliable data for pay, planning and compliance.
A modern system captures each day as morning and afternoon sessions, calculates net worked and overtime minutes automatically, and runs a validation workflow where employees submit and managers approve hours by day or by week.
Beyond the numbers, time tracking is about trust: detecting discrepancies between planned and worked time, ingesting events from physical badge readers, and keeping an immutable before-and-after record of every edit for payroll and audits.
Why manual timesheets fail
Most teams track hours on paper or in spreadsheets. Here's why that breaks down at payroll.
Manual timesheets
Paper sheets and spreadsheets are filled in from memory at week's end, inaccurate, late, and impossible to audit.
Inaccurate hours
Without a real clock-in/out trail, late arrivals, long breaks and buddy-punching quietly inflate paid hours.
Overtime in the dark
Overtime gets noticed only on payday. Nobody sees it accumulate, and nobody approves it in time.
Payroll disputes
When worked hours are guesses, employees and HR disagree at payroll, every cycle, for every edge case.
No audit trail
Edits to timesheets leave no record. When an inspector asks 'who changed this, and when?', there's no answer.
Scattered tools
Attendance in one app, schedules in another, leave in a third, so nothing reconciles and overtime never lines up with the plan.
How Leavo makes hours payroll-ready
Leavo replaces guesswork with clock-in/out sessions, day and week validation, automatic discrepancy detection, and an immutable audit trail, built for payroll and labor compliance.
Start free trialClock in/out sessions
Employees clock morning and afternoon sessions; Leavo computes net worked and overtime minutes automatically, gated by your threshold.
Day & week validation
Employees submit; approvers validate or reject by day or week. Rejections come back with a reason and a one-tap resubmit.
Automatic discrepancy detection
Late arrivals, early departures, missing entries, absences and overtime are flagged the moment they happen, resolvable with a note.
Immutable audit log
Every edit is recorded with a full before/after snapshot. Nothing is silently changed, built for payroll and inspections.
