## Description

**Time Clock by Homebase** is a free Chrome extension designed to simplify employee time and attendance tracking. It helps businesses reduce payroll headaches by accurately tracking employee hours and allowing easy time card edits, ensuring smooth payroll exports.

Stay compliant with labor laws through secure cloud storage of time cards and edit histories, monitor employee breaks and schedules seamlessly, and curb labor costs by preventing early clock-ins and receiving overtime alerts. Additionally, the extension combats buddy punching with automatic photo captures at clock-in and clock-out.

The application supports multiple devices, enabling employees to clock in on tablets and clock out via smartphones, computers, or point-of-sale terminals, with an offline mode to prevent missed entries during wi-fi disruptions. Integrations with leading payroll and POS systems like Gusto, ADP, Square Payroll, Clover, Toast, and more make running payroll effortless and accurate.
