Questions, answered
A few things to know.
Is there a contract?
No. Service is month to month. Cancel anytime from your account.
Do I need to buy a time clock?
No. Clock in from a phone or computer browser with no hardware purchase or connected-clock fee. Add a compatible clock whenever you need a shared clocking point.
Which payroll systems can I export to?
Export formats include ADP RUN, ADP Workforce Now, Paychex Preview, SurePayroll, Sage 50 and generic CSV. QuickBooks Online is available through a dedicated connection page.
What happens after the 60 days included with NX?
NX includes 60 days of Hosted Time Guardian subscription service. A separate paid monthly subscription is required to continue service after the included 60 days. General software signup offers a separate 15-day trial.
Is my data secure?
Hosted Time Guardian stores data in secure offsite data centers with redundant backups. Amano manages the hosted service and backups, so you do not need to maintain a server.
Do I pay for upgrades?
Software upgrades and future product enhancements are included for the life of your active subscription.
Can I use it at more than one location?
Yes. Manage compatible connected clocks at different locations in the same account. Each connected clock adds $5/month to your employee service plan.
Can employees see their own hours?
Yes. Employees can access their own hours online when employee access is enabled for their account.
Are all plans a flat monthly price?
Plans for 1–149 employees have a flat monthly price within each team-size band. For 150 or more employees, the employee service rate is $1.25 per employee per month. Connected clocks add $5/month each.
Can I use a clock I already own?
Contact Amano with your model number to confirm cloud compatibility. Hosted Time Guardian terminals are separate from Windows software packages.
