Yes. Controlling overtime costs and complying with the [Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)](https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/flsa) are two of the biggest benefits of online time and attendance. [Employee time tracking](/what-we-offer/time-and-attendance/employee-time-tracking) starts with proper worker classification, then automatically calculates hours worked during the pay period. Overtime rules specific to your business and locations are applied and sent to payroll, so managers approve timecards rather than calculating hours. They also see who’s approaching overtime in real time and can adjust schedules before costs add up. ### How is ADP time tracking integrated with payroll and HR? Time and attendance is part of all [ADP HCM platforms](/what-we-offer/products), including RUN Powered by ADP®, ADP Workforce Now® and ADP Lyric HCM. Users get one login, a consistent experience across modules and a single source for data. Employee information flows automatically between HR, payroll and [timekeeping](/resources/articles-and-insights/articles/t/timekeeping-software) with no re-keying and faster access to data. ### Can employees use their mobile phones for time tracking? Yes. The [ADP Mobile app](/what-we-offer/products/adp-mobile-solutions) lets employees clock in and out, check schedules and request time off. Geo-fencing keeps clock-ins within a set distance of a work location. The app also includes employer tools for payroll, benefits administration and other HCM tasks. ### How does biometric time and attendance work? Biometric time and attendance verifies each employee with a unique physical identifier, typically a face scan or fingerprint. With ADP, employees use facial recognition or fingerprint scanning on the ADP® Kiosk or ADP® Time Kiosk app to record their hours. The result: no buddy punching, a clear audit trail and accurate tracking across multiple departments, locations or pay rates. ### Is ADP time and attendance a good fit for small businesses? Yes. ADP offers two time and attendance solutions built for small businesses, both fully integrated with [RUN Powered by ADP®](/what-we-offer/products/run-powered-by-adp): ADP® Timekeeping covers core time tracking with overtime calculations and timecards. ADP® Timekeeping Plus Scheduling adds online scheduling, shift swapping, PTO with balances and labor insights. ### How does ADP help with qualified and non-qualified overtime under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act? The [One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R.1)](/resources/big-beautiful-bill), signed into law in July 2025, created a federal tax deduction for qualified overtime. Employers need to track and report overtime accurately so employees can claim the deduction at tax time. ADP time and attendance solutions automate overtime calculation based on your work rules and feed the data directly into payroll, supporting accurate withholding and W-2 reporting.
