I use hubstaff for a 10 person team. http://ssqt.co/ikQx
- Hubstaff has integrations with Trello, GitHub, and many other services, so you can get report who worked on what and how longzaq

liquidplanner.com is pretty decent.
we use it for timesheets/scheduling work etc.

^ the great thing about liquidplanner is that it allows projects to be "liquid". If something takes longer than anticipated it re-arranges all the other work (in order of priority).

thanks guys. I'm looking for something that the staff can input their hours into and it calculates what's owed from clients etc... do any of the above do that?

I've had great experience with https://www.getharvest.com/ including their automatic invoicing.
Easy but scalable.

just round it up to the nearest day

if you really want to nickel and dime your clients, use harvest.
- Or you want to run a profitable business. Either/or.ETM
- right, make less money, round to the nearest quarter hour. let your clients see it took you 13 minutes to make a change so they take advantage of you.doesnotexist
- Well sure, if you're an idiot and invoice the tracking data verbatim! LOLETM
- I guess you don't understand you can format and adjust your invoices however you want, you don't need to publish exactly how it's tracked.ETM
- You saying you don't track yours and employees time on projects?ETM
- Have budgets and goals?ETM
- a little harsh, dude. this is a discussion. i work at the cd/consultant level with VERY small teams. i don't track my time, the value isn't based on that alone,doesnotexist
- but on perceived value and how much a product or brand is worth. goals are strategy related and not analytical immediately.doesnotexist
- why charge an hour when you can charge a day?doesnotexist
- if you're going to alter the time you spent on it before your client sees the invoice, why bother using that tracking method?doesnotexist
- Because you need to track internally. Gauge performance. Find bottlenecks and inefficient workflows or workers.ETM
- Just to name a couple.ETM
- Perceived value still must be contrasted against the reality of doing business and all the support mechanisms existing between the revenue and the profit.ETM

I've been looking at using toggl
(I use Quickbooks for invoicing, so no need to do that, I just want a quick/easy way to track hours others work on projects - simpler the better)

Recently started using Active Collab as a project management tool. They have a tracking tool, invoices are neat too.
My Journey was basecamp / teamwork and now active collab.
