Time is now fully integrated into QuickBooks Online: a seamless, time-tracking experience built inside

Key takeaways

  • We've rebuilt the functionality and capabilities of our classic QuickBooks Time experience within the QuickBooks Online (QBO) platform.
  • You will get one seamless, integrated time-tracking experience built right in. No manual syncs, no exports—just up-to-date, real-time time, payroll, and accounting data fully connected on one platform.
  • Rolling out in phases over the coming months, this transition will move all classic Time customers to manage their timekeeping, time management, and scheduling tasks in QuickBooks Online. Each customer group will receive an email notification in advance of this change.
  • Starting in September, the first wave of customers will have the link to classic Time removed from the Time app in QuickBooks Online. The Time app already has everything you use today, running faster and more reliably, with your time-tracking workflows built right in. You'll still be able to reach classic Time at tsheets.intuit.com before we retire the site in a few months.
