About the Connecteam NFC
Connecteam starts at $29/month for up to 30 employees. This includes time tracking with NFC tags, rostering, task management, and communication tools. You can pay monthly or save with an annual subscription. There are no setup fees, and you can cancel anytime.
Yes. Connecteam is free for businesses with up to 10 employees. If you have 11+ employees, you can still try it free for 14 days with no credit card required. You can also book a free demo with an expert to see if it’s the right fit for your team.
Your employees download the Connecteam app on their phone. You place a small NFC sticker (about 2×2 inches) at your location- on a wall, door, or anywhere convenient. When employees arrive, they tap their phone on the sticker to clock in. When they leave, they tap again to clock out. That’s it. The app records the exact time and location automatically.
Yes. Employees use their own smartphone with the Connecteam app installed. To clock in, they quickly open the app, click the NFC icon, and tap their phone on the tag. The whole process takes about 2 seconds.
No. The NFC tag only works when you’re physically next to it- you have to be within a few inches. This prevents employees from clocking in from the parking lot or from home. Plus, every clock-in is GPS-stamped, so you can see exactly where it happened.
You get a live dashboard showing who’s currently working, who’s on break, and who hasn’t shown up yet. You can access it from your phone or computer anytime.
Absolutely. You can order as many NFC tags as you need and place them at different locations. Employees clock in wherever they’re working, and you’ll see which site they’re at. Perfect for construction, field services, or multi-location businesses.
NFC gives you precise, on-site clock-ins without the complexity of physical time clocks. With Connecteam NFC, there’s no hardware to maintain, no manual transfer of hours into payroll, and unlike location-based tracking alone, it confirms employees are at the exact clock-in point, not just somewhere nearby.
QR codes can be photographed and shared. NFC requires the phone to be physically within 1–4 cm of the tag to work. That means employees must be on-site to tap and clock in, it cannot be replicated with a picture.
ou can order official NFC tags directly from the Connecteam Amazon store. They’re available in different quantities depending on your needs, and it’s a simple one-time purchase, there’s no recurring fee per tag.
Most teams are up and running in under 30 minutes. You create your account, add your employees, stick the NFC tags where you want them, and your team downloads the app. That’s it. We also offer a free onboarding call to walk you through everything if you want help.
Yes. Tags can be placed outdoors, including construction sites. If there’s no signal, the data syncs automatically once the device reconnects.
All attendance data is stored in your Connecteam dashboard, where you can review, edit, and export timesheets anytime. Connecteam also integrates with payroll providers like ADP, Gusto, and QuickBooks, and if a direct integration isn’t available, you can export the data as a CSV or Excel file.
Of course. You can export and print timesheets in whatever format you need. Some of our customers still do payroll manually, and that works perfectly fine.
Yes. They can clock out for lunch or breaks and clock back in when they return. You’ll see the full breakdown of their day, including break times.
You can manually edit their timesheet as a manager. You have full control to fix mistakes, add missing punches, or adjust times if needed.
Yes. Employees can select which job, project, or task they’re working on when they clock in. This helps you see how much time is being spent on each job for billing or cost tracking.
Connecteam does both. You can create rosters, assign shifts, send shift reminders, and let employees request time off- all in the same app. It’s an all-in-one workforce management platform.
Each employee has their own account and login. They can only clock themselves in and out. Plus, every clock-in is GPS-stamped and requires the employee to be physically at the NFC tag location. You can’t clock in from the parking lot or have someone else do it for you.
Yes. All your data is stored on secure, encrypted servers with industry-standard certifications. We take privacy seriously.
Absolutely. We offer demos and a free trial so you can test it with your team before deciding.
No problem. You can manage multiple locations from one account and see everything in one dashboard.
