HR software for small businesses
Running a small business means wearing every hat, and chasing timesheets, leave requests, and payroll by hand eats the hours you do not have. Tickin gives you time tracking, attendance, leave, and payroll in one place, right inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, or the browser your team already uses. Start free for up to 10 employees and add seats only as you grow.
HR that fits a small team, not an enterprise
You do not need a bloated HR suite to run a lean team. Tickin covers the essentials a small business actually uses: clocking in and out, attendance, leave approvals, and payroll, without modules you will never touch. Everything lives where your team already works, so there is nothing new to log into and no training rollout to plan.
Track hours without buying anyone new tools
Your team clocks in and out from Slack, Microsoft Teams, the browser, or the optional desktop app, and Tickin tallies hours automatically. Break tracking and overtime detection keep the numbers honest, while office hours, daily working hours, a grace period, and late-arrival alerts help you stay on top of attendance. Set your working days and workspace timezone once and it applies across the whole team.
Leave and schedules without the email back-and-forth
Employees request time off in Slack, Teams, or the web app, and you approve it in the same place, with leave types and balances tracked for you. A daily Leave and WFH report lands in Slack so you always know who is out or working from home. A workspace-wide work schedule keeps everyone aligned on when the team is on the clock.
Payroll that is ready when payday is
Generate salary slips as PDFs with itemized deductions, and lean on built-in tax presets for 17 markets so you are not rebuilding calculations from scratch. Because hours, overtime, and leave already flow in from time tracking, payroll starts from accurate data instead of a spreadsheet you have to reconcile by hand. It is the paperwork a small business needs, without a payroll specialist on staff.
Features that make it work
Frequently asked questions
- Is Tickin really free for small businesses?
- Yes. The Free plan covers up to 10 employees at no cost. When you outgrow it, you move to the Starter or Growth plan and pay per seat, so your bill scales with your headcount.
- Do I need to install anything for my team to use it?
- No. Your team can clock in and out and manage leave directly from Slack, Microsoft Teams, or the browser. A desktop app is available if you want it, but it is entirely optional.
- Can Tickin handle payroll for a small team?
- Yes. Tickin generates salary slips as PDFs with itemized deductions and includes tax presets for 17 markets. Hours, overtime, and leave already flow in from time tracking, so payroll starts from accurate data.
- How does attendance tracking work?
- You set office hours, daily working hours, a grace period, working days, and your workspace timezone. Tickin then tracks clock-ins against those settings and can send late-arrival alerts, so you know who is in without checking in manually.
- Does Tickin monitor or take screenshots of employees?
- No. The core product does not include screenshot surveillance. Tickin tracks worked hours, breaks, overtime, and attendance so you get an accurate record without monitoring how employees spend every minute.
