I’ve used TimeTrex in the past. For my needs “, it was overly complex.
This is one of those areas where I’d think long and hard about self hosting, if you’re doing more than tracking your own hours.
Lots of compliance risk here, and transferring some of that risk to the payroll company is part of what one pays for with those services.
In my case, I just needed to substantiate invoices for a couple of clients I contracted for, and I was strictly paying myself and once in a blue moon my wife.
Agreed. If you have real employees, as much as I hate to say it, just get something like Quickbooks. The small amount of money you spend is well worth the time not fussing over it.
Just too easy to get over a barrel trying to DIY it, and the first time ya screw it up, you lose a ton of credibility with employees which also has a great deal of value.
