# Timekeep: Complete Product Description > All-in-one payroll, time tracking, scheduling, and leave management for Philippine businesses. Website: https://timekeep.ph Sign up: https://timekeep.ph/signup ## Who Timekeep Is For Timekeep is built for small business owners in the Philippines who don't have an HR department. The typical Timekeep customer runs a cafe, restaurant, salon, or retail shop with 5 to 50 employees. They're the owner, the manager, and the payroll department all at once. The payroll solutions that exist in the Philippines are built for companies with HR departments. Sprout Solutions targets BPO, manufacturing, and financial services with 15+ products and no public pricing. Hier Payroll calls itself "the most configurable," which means the most setup before you can run your first payroll. Global platforms like PeopleHum aren't built for Philippine compliance at all. Timekeep exists in the gap these products leave behind. Philippine payroll is not an add-on. It's the core. ## Origin Story Timekeep was built by AJ, a software engineer who also runs Bruskoffee, a coffee shop in Iloilo, Philippines. He had the same payroll problems every small business owner has: cross-checking attendance against schedules, computing deductions manually, screenshotting payslips for the group chat, dreading every cutoff. He happened to be a software engineer, so he built what he needed. That's Timekeep. He built it for his own business first. Turns out every business owner he talked to had the exact same problem. Now Timekeep runs payroll for cafes, restaurants, and shops across the Philippines. Filipino-built, from Iloilo, for businesses here. ## Features ### Payroll Click Run Payroll and Timekeep pulls attendance, computes gross pay, applies overtime and holiday rules, calculates government deductions, and generates payslips. Review everything before you finalize. No payroll team required. Payroll includes: - Gross pay computation based on actual attendance - Overtime and holiday pay multipliers - Rest day premiums - Night differential - Government deductions (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, BIR withholding tax) - Monthly deductions and loan tracking - Payslip generation with full earnings and deductions breakdown - 13th month pay computation - Configurable cutoff periods ### Government Compliance Timekeep computes SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and BIR withholding tax using current Philippine contribution and tax tables. The tables are kept up to date so business owners don't have to Google contribution brackets every cutoff. Supported government agencies: - **SSS (Social Security System):** Employee and employer share computed based on current contribution table - **PhilHealth (Philippine Health Insurance Corporation):** Premium rate applied to monthly basic salary - **Pag-IBIG (Home Development Mutual Fund):** Employee and employer contributions based on salary bracket - **BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue):** Withholding tax computed using current tax brackets per TRAIN Law ### Attendance and Time Tracking The dashboard shows real-time attendance across four columns: not yet in, clocked in, on break, and clocked out. Late badges light up automatically based on shift schedules. Attendance features include: - Real-time attendance board - Clock-in and clock-out tracking - Break tracking - Late and undertime detection - Overtime tracking and approvals - Night differential computation - Attendance logs and history - CSV exports ### Face Verification Kiosk Turn any tablet or phone into a shared clock-in station. Employees tap their name and verify with a photo. The system matches the photo against their profile to prevent buddy punching. No biometric hardware needed. Works with equipment you already have. This solves a real problem for small businesses: biometric machines are expensive, break down, and still require manual cross-checking. Timekeep's kiosk mode is free, runs on any device with a camera, and connects directly to attendance and payroll. ### Scheduling See the whole week at a glance. Assign shifts, mark rest days, and track approved leaves in one view. Schedules stay connected to attendance and payroll, so you never have to rebuild the same information twice. Scheduling features include: - Weekly calendar view - Shift assignment and templates - Rest day tracking - Leave integration - Schedule-to-attendance connection for late/undertime detection ### Leave Management Track leave balances, handle requests and approvals, and compute leave pay automatically. Leaves integrate with the schedule view and with payroll computation. ### Employee Portal Each employee gets a secure mobile portal with a simple PIN login. They can: - View their schedule - Check payslips and earnings breakdown - See leave balances - Request time off This eliminates the most common repeat question every business owner gets: "Where's my payslip?" Staff check their phone instead of asking you. ### Holiday Pay Timekeep handles the full complexity of Philippine holiday pay: - Regular holidays: 200% of daily rate - Special non-working days: 130% of daily rate - Rest day premiums - All combinations (regular holiday falling on a rest day, special day overtime, etc.) - Philippine holiday calendar built in ## Pricing Timekeep is priced for small businesses, not enterprise budgets. **Monthly plan:** ₱999/month - Includes up to 10 employees - +₱49 per additional employee per month **Yearly plan:** ₱9,990/year (saves 17%) - Includes up to 10 employees - +₱490 per additional employee per year **Free trial:** 30 days, no credit card required. Full access to all features. For context: ₱999/month is less than the cost of one SSS penalty. The hours saved on payroll every cutoff pay for it many times over. ## Real Customers Timekeep runs payroll for real Philippine businesses: - **Bruskoffee:** Coffee shop in Iloilo (the founder's own business) - **Meltin' Pot:** Restaurant with 30+ employees - **Wildfire:** Restaurant - **Paul Kaldi Coffee:** Coffee shop - **Grenouille:** Coffee and wine bar ### Customer Testimonials **Kate Ung, Owner, Meltin' Pot:** "Before Timekeep, payroll meant manually checking attendance for our 30+ employees and dealing with frequent errors. Now the calculations are faster, cleaner, and much easier to review before cutoff." **Peter Paul Dayanan, Founder & CEO, Paul Kaldi Coffee:** "Timekeep gives us attendance, payroll tracking, and staff scheduling in one affordable system. It helps us run the business with the kind of structure and visibility you usually expect from much bigger software." **Beda T Jimenez II, Grenouille:** "The photo-based clock-ins keep everyone accountable, the custom cutoff works for how we run payroll, and our staff can check schedules and payslips from their phones. It saves us hours of manual work." ## Key Differentiators 1. **Built for owners, not HR departments.** Timekeep is designed for the person who has no HR team. Setup takes 5 minutes, not weeks of configuration. 2. **Philippine payroll is the core, not an add-on.** SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and BIR are built in from the ground up, not bolted on to a global platform. 3. **Face verification without hardware.** Any tablet or phone becomes a kiosk. No biometric machines to buy, maintain, or replace. 4. **Transparent pricing.** ₱999/month is on the website. No "Book a Meeting" button. No sales calls. 5. **Filipino-built.** Made in Iloilo, for Philippine businesses. Not imported, not translated, not localized.
