Simple time tracking that actually works

Forget expensive hardware and complicated systems. Leavely turns any smartphone into a time clock.

QR code clock-in

Print a QR code for your workplace. Employees scan it with their phone to clock in and out. No hardware, no special equipment, no app downloads.

Device-location capture

When location is required, the browser must provide coordinates before the event is saved. This adds context to the clock-in; it is not geofence verification.

Break tracking

Employees or authorised managers can record break minutes against an entry. Leavely deducts those minutes from the recorded duration, ready for payroll to review before processing.

CSV timesheet export

Export weekly or monthly timesheets as CSV. Includes clock-in/out times, total hours, breaks, and overtime. Ready for your payroll provider.

Works on any phone

No app to install. Leavely runs in the browser on iPhone, Android, or any device with a camera and internet. Staff are set up in seconds.

Connected to leave and rotas

Clock-in data ties into your rota schedule and leave calendar. See scheduled vs actual hours side by side. Spot patterns and discrepancies instantly.

How it works in 3 steps

1

Configure clock-in

Add employees, create workplace locations, print QR posters, and choose whether device location is required.

2

Employees clock in

Staff scan a QR code or use their account. Leavely records the event time, named QR location, and device coordinates when supplied.

3

Export for payroll

At the end of each week, export a CSV timesheet with all hours worked. Send it to your payroll provider or accountant. Done.

Ditch the paper sign-in sheet

QR and location-aware clock-in are included in Standard at £8 per active user per month. No dedicated terminal or native app is required.

Why use Leavely instead of a standalone clock-in app?

Time tracking connected to leave management

When an employee is on annual leave or sick, Leavely knows. You will never wonder why someone did not clock in because the system already shows they are off. Standalone clock-in apps do not have this context.

Rotas and actual hours side by side

Compare scheduled shifts against actual clock-in times. Spot late arrivals, early departures, and overtime at a glance. One integrated view instead of cross-referencing two separate systems.

One tool, one login, one price

Instead of paying for a separate time tracking app, rota tool, and leave management system, Leavely combines all three. Your employees log in once and have everything they need.

No dedicated terminal

Leavely uses printable QR codes and the employee's phone browser, avoiding a separate wall-mounted clock or native app.

Frequently asked questions

How does the QR code clock-in work?
You print a unique QR code and display it at your workplace (reception, kitchen, entrance). Employees scan it with their phone camera to clock in and out. The QR code is tied to your Leavely account, so scans are automatically logged against the right employee. There is no app to download.
How does location capture work?
A workspace can require the phone browser to provide device coordinates before a clock-in is saved. Leavely stores those coordinates with the event as location context. It does not compare them with a geofence or prove that the person was inside a site boundary.
Do employees need to install an app?
No. Leavely works entirely through the web browser on any smartphone. Employees visit the Leavely site, log in, and clock in. There is nothing to download, install, or update. This also means it works on any phone regardless of operating system.
Can I export timesheets for payroll?
Yes. Leavely generates weekly timesheets that show clock-in times, clock-out times, total hours worked, and break deductions. You can export these as CSV files and send them directly to your payroll provider or accountant.
Is the clock-in feature included in the £8/user/month price?
Yes. Time tracking and clock-in is part of the standard Leavely plan. There are no add-on fees. You also get leave management, rota planning, performance reviews, expenses, and onboarding in the same price.
