CAPABILITIES / TIME & WORKFORCE
Time tracking that
fits your team.
Use ORCA for time tracking on its own, or connect employee hours to the work your business runs in ORCA.
START WHERE YOU ARE
A time clock can be your starting point.
You don’t need to adopt inventory, shipping, or manufacturing to use ORCA for time tracking. Start with the needs of your team, then connect more of your operation when it makes sense.

TIME CLOCK
Simple for everyday time.
Detailed when you need it.
Different teams need different levels of context. ORCA can support a simple task selection or a more detailed production workflow.
GENERAL TIME
Keep everyday recording simple.
Record working time against a general time category without a production station workflow.
TASK TIMEFollow specific work.
Select a task and keep the recorded time associated with that work.
PRODUCTION TIMEBring the floor into view.
Use configured station selection and multiple-task tracking for production workflows.
TIMESHEETS & REVIEW
Give hours a clear next step.
Employees review and submit their timesheets. Managers can inspect entries, approve submitted time, or reject it with a reason. Approved timesheets are locked against ordinary edits.

QUESTIONS ABOUT FIT
Make it work for your team.
Can we use ORCA just for time tracking?
Yes. Time tracking can stand on its own. Connections to inventory, manufacturing, fulfillment, and other ORCA workflows are optional.
Do all employees need to select a production station?
No. Station selection is a configured workflow. Teams can use a simpler recording experience with general time or individual tasks.
Does every setup require timesheet approval?
No. ORCA supports different recording and review configurations. We’ll walk through the process that fits your team.
Does this replace payroll?
This page covers time recording, review, and reporting. QuickBooks Online time-activity handoffs depend on configuration; they are separate from processing payroll.
Is Labor Cost the same as actual payroll expense?
No. This report uses a configured hourly rate and recorded hours. It should not be read as individual wage expense or a calculation of payroll taxes and benefits.
