- Keep employee hours and manager review in one place.
- Export records without switching payroll providers.
- Compare the total cost—not just a headline price.
What does your time clock really cost?
1. The bill. Count base fees, employee fees, location fees and the features you actually need.
2. The admin. Consider time spent collecting, correcting and checking hours—not just the subscription.
3. The handoff. Open the export and confirm it fits your payroll process before you commit.

What does Gates Timekeeping cost?
The current early-access pilot is free, with no payment card or automatic paid conversion. Proposed launch plans are Starter at $15/month for up to 10 employees and Team at $35/month for up to 30. Final paid availability will be announced before charging.
Is it a basic clock or a full timekeeping workflow?
The core pilot includes individual employee clock-ins, recorded unpaid breaks, recent employee hours, manager review, corrections, approval and a worked-hours CSV. It does not replace payroll processing or claim that every roadmap feature is available.
Does it work on Android and iPhone?
Yes, through the browser clock on any phone, and employees can add a home-screen shortcut. If signal drops, punches are saved on the phone with the time they were tapped and sent when it reconnects. An Android app exists but is not in app stores yet.
Does Gates include scheduling and a shared-tablet kiosk?
Yes. Managers can build and publish a weekly schedule, and a shared tablet or computer can run kiosk mode with PIN punch-in that clears itself after a short idle time. Employees can see their published schedule, ask for open shifts, request swaps and submit time-off requests.
Does it track GPS location?
Yes, at clock-in only. When your company turns on location checks, the browser asks the employee for permission and compares one location reading to the worksite geofence. You choose whether an outside punch is flagged or blocked. Gates does not track people between punches.
Can we keep our payroll provider?
Yes. Gates provides reviewed time records and a generic worked-hours CSV. Your payroll provider applies the appropriate wage rules and handles payroll. Check its import requirements separately.
Can I try it before making a buying decision?
Use the sample demo and free tools without an account, or create a free company pilot. Evaluate sample records alongside your existing process before relying on it for payroll.
Keep the tools.
Lose the unnecessary overhead.
Try Gates Timekeeping with your team. No card to start. No payroll-provider switch. A practical workflow for your next workday.
