Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best timesheet software for small businesses in the UK?

Unlike enterprise tools, there are no minimum seats or long contracts. See why small businesses choose TimeTally →

How do I track employee hours in the UK?

UK employers can track employee hours using timesheet software, paper timesheets, or spreadsheets. Digital timesheet software is the most reliable method — employees submit hours online, managers approve with one click, and records are stored automatically for HMRC compliance. The UK Working Time Regulations require employers to keep adequate records of working hours. Learn about time tracking →

Is there free timesheet software for UK businesses?

Yes — TimeTally offers a free trial that includes all features with no credit card required. Some tools offer permanently free plans, but these typically lack approval workflows, payroll integration, and UK holiday tracking. TimeTally's paid plan at £2/user/month includes everything most free tools don't: HMRC-compliant records, Xero/QuickBooks export, and automated reminders. Try TimeTally free →

What is leave management software?

Leave management software automates how businesses handle holiday requests, sick leave, and absences. Instead of tracking leave in spreadsheets or email, employees request time off online and managers approve instantly. TimeTally includes a team calendar showing who's off, automatic entitlement calculations, and Bradford Factor tracking for absence patterns. Explore leave tracking →

Do UK employers legally need to keep timesheets?

Yes — UK employers must keep adequate records of employees' working hours under the Working Time Regulations 1998. HMRC can also request timesheet records to verify National Minimum Wage compliance. Records must be kept for at least 6 years. Digital timesheet software creates automatic, tamper-proof audit trails that satisfy these requirements. Read the full HMRC requirements guide →
