Buyer guide

Choose the right tools for employee hours and client billing

Employee attendance and billable client work serve different needs. Start with the records your business needs to keep, then choose the workflow that supports them.

Search intent

Owners are comparing ways to track employee hours and manage customer invoices.

What to look for before choosing

Attendance

A shared time clock should make PIN entry easy and keep business records private.

Review

Owners need to approve timesheets, correct mistakes, and see paid and unpaid hours.

Client billing

Look for clear invoice line items, payment status, and a connection to scheduled jobs.

Exports

Export employee hours for review without confusing time records with payroll payments.

Tradeoffs to know

Can Cadus create invoices from employee hours?

No. Staff & Hours records employee attendance. You create client invoice line items separately, or create an invoice from a scheduled job.

Can employees use Cadus as a time clock?

Yes. Pair the Cadus app on an iPad and employees can clock in or out with their own PIN. Owners manage timesheets in their own app.
