Hubstaff

Time Tracking Paid

Hubstaff combines time tracking with payroll and project budgets, built around the needs of managers overseeing distributed teams. Optional screenshots add a layer of visibility into remote work that some managers want. The payroll support is a genuine differentiator, connecting tracked time directly to how a distributed team gets paid, rather than leaving that as a separate step. Project budgets round out the picture, giving visibility into hours against planned spend.

It integrates with Slack, Zapier, and GitHub, and fits small to mid-size teams rather than large enterprises. Complexity is medium, reflecting the combination of time tracking, monitoring, and payroll in one system. It's best suited to managers who need workforce visibility and payroll handled together for a remote team.
