What is TimeLive
TimeLive is a cloud-based time tracking and time & attendance system used to capture employee hours, attendance events, and project time for payroll and billing workflows. It is typically used by professional services teams and organizations that need both project timesheets and attendance controls. The product includes web and mobile time entry, approvals, reporting, and integrations with common payroll and accounting systems. It also supports configurable policies (such as overtime rules and leave types) and role-based access for managers and administrators.
Project and attendance in one
TimeLive combines project timesheets with time & attendance tracking, which can reduce the need to run separate tools for project-based and hourly work. This is useful for organizations that bill clients while also managing internal attendance and payroll inputs. The system supports approvals and audit trails that help standardize time submission and review.
Configurable policies and workflows
The product provides configurable settings for timesheet periods, approvals, overtime handling, and leave/absence categories. This flexibility helps teams align the system with internal policies without custom development. Role-based permissions support separation of duties between employees, managers, and payroll/finance administrators.
Integrations and export options
TimeLive supports integrations and data export options that help move approved time into payroll, invoicing, and accounting processes. This can reduce manual re-entry and improve consistency between systems of record. Reporting and export formats support common operational needs such as payroll summaries and project cost rollups.
UI can feel dated
Compared with newer time & attendance platforms, the user interface can feel less modern and may require more clicks for common tasks. This can affect adoption for frontline users who expect mobile-first experiences. Organizations may need additional training and internal documentation to drive consistent usage.
Advanced workforce features limited
TimeLive focuses on time capture, approvals, and reporting, but it is not a full workforce management suite. Capabilities such as advanced scheduling optimization, broader HR workflows, or deeper employee lifecycle management may require additional systems. Buyers looking for an all-in-one HR platform may find gaps outside core time and attendance.
Integration depth varies by system
While integrations and exports are available, the depth of integration can vary depending on the target payroll/accounting system and the desired level of automation. Some organizations may need custom mapping, middleware, or manual reconciliation for edge cases. This is most noticeable when complex pay rules or multi-entity setups are involved.
