Key Features
Web punch-in/punch-out from any browser on phone, tablet, or desktop within Business Central
Dedicated tablet kiosk mode — a shared device at the entrance where employees clock in/out by selecting their name or PIN
Custom Time Clock Entry table storing every raw punch with timestamp, type, device, and an immutable audit trail
Automatic daily hours-worked calculation per employee via a job-queue codeunit that nets out breaks and meal periods
Break and unpaid meal-period tracking with configurable rounding and minimum-break rules
Manager approval workflow — review, audited-adjust, and approve daily totals before they count toward payroll
Page extensions on the Employee card and Resource list so attendance lives next to existing master data
Custom API page (OData v4 / BC REST) exposing approved hours for payroll, Dataverse, or Power Automate flows
Exportable time-clock entry and daily-summary lists straight to Excel for review or import into payroll
Dedicated permission sets separating self-service punching from manager approval and configuration
Event subscribers that validate punches (no double clock-in, no clock-out without clock-in)
Configurable rounding rules (e.g., nearest 5/15 minutes) and overtime threshold flags on the daily summary
About this Product
Most SMBs running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central still capture attendance on spreadsheets or paper, then re-key hours into payroll. Employee Time Clock for Business Central removes that gap with a no-hardware punch clock that lives inside BC itself.
Why Choose Employee Time Clock for Business Central
Web punch-in/punch-out from any browser on phone, tablet, or desktop within Business Central
Dedicated tablet kiosk mode — a shared device at the entrance where employees clock in/out by selecting their name or PIN
Custom Time Clock Entry table storing every raw punch with timestamp, type, device, and an immutable audit trail
Automatic daily hours-worked calculation per employee via a job-queue codeunit that nets out breaks and meal periods
Break and unpaid meal-period tracking with configurable rounding and minimum-break rules
Manager approval workflow — review, audited-adjust, and approve daily totals before they count toward payroll
ECOSIRE builds this as a per-tenant AL extension (not a generic AppSource listing), so it fits your company configuration, dimensions, and resource/employee master data. Employees punch in and out from a browser on any device, or from a shared tablet running in kiosk mode at the door. Each punch writes to a dedicated time-clock entry table; a job-queue-friendly codeunit rolls raw punches into daily hours-worked per employee, accounting for breaks and unpaid meal periods.
The data model uses real BC building blocks: a custom Time Clock Entry table, page extensions on the Employee card and Resource list, event subscribers that validate punches against open shifts, and permission sets that separate punching (self-service) from approval (manager). Hours are exposed through a custom API page (OData v4) so they can flow to Business Central payroll fields, a Power Platform / Dataverse flow, or an export.
Managers get an approval workflow: review the day, adjust an erroneous punch (audited), then approve. Approved totals become the trusted source for payroll. Lists are filterable and exportable to Excel.
This is honest build-to-order: after purchase we scope with you, build the extension, install it on your sandbox, validate against real punches, then publish it to production. You get a fixed one-time build, source-available extension, and an agreed support window — no app-store gamble, no hardware to buy.

Wants attendance captured digitally without buying biometric hardware, and clean approved hours they can hand to payroll instead of chasing timesheets.

Frequently Asked Questions about Employee Time Clock for Business Central
+How long until the time clock is live, and how is it delivered?
After we scope your requirements, a typical build is around 1 to 2 weeks. We develop the AL extension, install it on your Business Central sandbox, validate it with real test punches and an approval cycle, then publish it to your production tenant as a per-tenant extension. There is no AppSource download — ECOSIRE builds and installs it directly on your environment.
+Do you support the extension and keep it working after BC updates?
Yes. The price includes an agreed post-launch support and bug-fix window. Because Business Central ships major updates twice a year, we can recompile and re-validate the extension against new versions under an optional ongoing support arrangement, so punches, the job queue, and the API page keep working after platform upgrades.
+Does this need any hardware or biometric devices?
No. It is software only. Employees punch from any browser, and the kiosk is just a standard shared tablet or PC running the kiosk page at your entrance. No fingerprint readers, badge scanners, or proprietary clocks are required.
+How do approved hours actually reach payroll?
Approved daily totals are exposed two ways: an exportable Excel list, and a custom OData v4 API page. You can pull approved hours into Business Central payroll fields, push them through Power Automate / Dataverse, or export for an external payroll system. We configure whichever path matches your setup during the build.
+Can managers correct a missed or wrong punch?
Yes, through the approval workflow. A manager with the approval permission set can adjust a punch before approving the day. Every adjustment is recorded against the original entry in the audit trail, so the corrected total stays traceable for payroll and compliance.
