Track workers, attendance, overtime, advances & payroll in one free offline app.
Managing workers with paper registers and spreadsheets wastes hours, creates payment disputes, and leaves you guessing at overtime costs. This free labor management system replaces all of that with a single desktop application that handles workers, attendance, overtime, payments, advances, and reports, all in one place, for an unlimited number of staff.
Built by Timeline Digital. A 13-year custom software development company with 200+ enterprise clients across the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany and the UAE. Download it, install it, and start managing your labour force in minutes.
A labor management system (also called a labour management system, LMS, or workforce management software) is a piece of software that tracks and controls how people work inside a business. It records worker profiles, daily attendance, hours worked, overtime, leave, salary advances, and payments. And then turns all of that data into payroll and reports. It replaces paper registers, Excel sheets, and disconnected messaging-app records with one accurate, auditable system.
If you run a business that employs daily-wage workers, construction labourers, factory staff, warehouse pickers, shop employees, or contract workers, you already know the pain of managing attendance manually. Paper registers get lost. Spreadsheets have formula errors. Overtime disputes eat into your profit. Payment calculations take hours instead of minutes. A proper labor management system solves all of this in one place.
At its core, a labor management system centralises every aspect of workforce operations into a single tool. Instead of maintaining separate registers for attendance, overtime, payments, and advances, everything lives in one application where data flows automatically from attendance into payroll. A complete LMS typically handles:
This free worker management software is built for anyone who manages a team of workers and needs a better way to track attendance, overtime, and payments. Whether you are a contractor in Texas, a warehouse manager in Manchester, a factory owner in Hamburg, a retail chain operator in Toronto, a site engineer in Dubai, or a workshop owner in Lahore, this software is for you.
Every module you need to manage your workforce is included, no cost. Here is what the software offers out of the box:
See your entire workforce at a glance. The dashboard summarises total workers, today's attendance, pending payments, outstanding advances, and overtime hours, so supervisors and owners can make decisions in seconds instead of pulling reports from four different registers.
Add, edit, and organise every worker profile in one place. Store names, contact details, job roles, joining dates, daily wages, and identity documents. Whether you manage ten workers or five hundred, finding and updating records takes just seconds.
Mark daily attendance with a single click. Track present, absent, half-day, and leave status for each worker. The attendance module automatically feeds into payroll calculations so you never cross-check registers manually again.
Log overtime hours accurately and tie them directly to payment calculations. Define overtime rates, set daily or weekly caps, and let the system calculate extra earnings automatically. No more disputed overtime claims or manual math errors at month-end.
Process worker payments based on attendance, overtime, deductions, and advances. Generate payment summaries for each pay cycle and keep a full payment history for every worker. This module replaces error-prone spreadsheet calculations entirely and gives you a clean audit trail.
Track salary advances given to workers. Record the amount, date, and deduction schedule. The system automatically adjusts advance balances against future payments, so both you and your workers always know the outstanding amount without calling accounts for a manual calculation.
Generate detailed reports on attendance patterns, payment history, overtime trends, and advance balances. Export reports for your records or share them with partners, auditors, and accountants. Clear reporting eliminates guesswork and keeps your business transparent across sites and months.
Configure the system to match your business. Set working days, overtime rates, currency preferences, company details, and user permissions. The settings module adapts the software to your workflow rather than forcing you into rigid defaults built for a different country or industry.
Timeline Digital ships this software to businesses across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and South Asia. Below are the industries and countries where it is most actively used.

Global. Works anywhere with a Windows computer
Using the software is straightforward. This is the daily workflow most businesses follow from week one:
Start by adding worker profiles. Name, role, daily wage, and contact info. This takes a few minutes and you only do it once per worker. Bulk upload is available on request.
Each morning or at shift start, mark who is present, absent, half-day, or on leave. The attendance module feeds payroll automatically so you never re-enter numbers at month-end.
When workers stay extra, log overtime in the system. The software calculates extra pay based on the overtime rates you configured in Settings. Including differential rates for weekends or public holidays.
When a worker takes a salary advance, record the amount and deduction schedule. The system tracks outstanding balances automatically and applies deductions at the next payment run.
At the end of the pay cycle, review the payment summary per worker. The system pulls attendance, overtime, and advance deductions together automatically so you hit “approve” instead of rebuilding the calculation.
Use the reports module to review attendance patterns, payment histories, outstanding advances, and overtime trends. Export for partners, accountants, or audit trails whenever you need.

Most businesses compare an LMS to paper registers, Excel, an HRIS like Workday, or an enterprise platform like Kronos, SAP or Manhattan Associates. Here is how they line up:
| Task | Manual / Spreadsheet | Enterprise LMS (Kronos, SAP, Manhattan, ADP) | Timeline Labor Management System |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attendance tracking | Paper registers, often lost or damaged | Cloud-based, complex setup | Digital, one-click marking, stored locally |
| Overtime calculation | Manual math, frequent errors | Accurate but expensive per seat | Automatic, configurable rates, free |
| Pay-run processing | Hours of spreadsheet work each cycle | Fully automated, usually tied to paid payroll | Instant summary with attendance and overtime included |
| Advance tracking | Separate notebook, hard to reconcile | Built-in, requires custom config | Auto-deducted from payments, always accurate |
| Reports | Manual, time-consuming | Powerful, often behind admin role gates | Generated instantly with filters and export |
| Data location | Paper in a drawer or shared Excel | Vendor cloud (subject to licence lapse) | On your own computer. No subscription risk |
| Setup time | None | Weeks of consultant-led implementation | Installs in under 1 minute |
| Annual cost (50 workers) | Free but high error cost | $6,000 – $30,000+ per year typical | $0 forever |
Workforce management software is the umbrella category. It covers forecasting, scheduling, time and attendance, and compliance for large enterprises. A labor management system is the operational subset that most small and mid-sized businesses actually need: tracking who worked, when, for how long, and what they are owed. For 80% of SMBs the LMS layer is enough; you do not need a full WFM suite.
A warehouse management system (WMS) manages goods: inbound, putaway, picking, packing, and shipping. A labor management system manages the people performing that work. Large warehouses usually run both. This LMS works standalone or next to any WMS without forcing a migration or painful two-way integration.
Not every tool marketed as a “labor management system” is the right fit. Before you invest time in data entry and training, run through this checklist. It saves most businesses weeks of buyer’s remorse.
If you run daily-wage or hourly labour, a full HRIS like Workday is overkill. Pick a labour-first system that treats attendance, overtime, and advances as core. Not an afterthought bolted on top of salary payroll.
Construction sites, factories, and warehouses rarely have reliable Wi-Fi. Desktop or offline-first software keeps daily operations running even when your connection drops.
Different countries and industries calculate overtime differently (1.5x after 40 hrs in the USA, double-time after 12 hrs in parts of Australia, fixed-rate in Gulf markets). Make sure overtime rules are configurable.
Many "free" tools cap at 10–15 employees. Check for hard limits before you invest time in data entry. This system has no cap by design.
If a supervisor cannot mark attendance in under a minute, the system will not get used. Prefer software that a non-technical user can operate within 15 minutes of first launch.
Your accountant needs exportable summaries per worker, per site, and per pay cycle. Reports should be readable, filterable, and match your internal pay slips without re-formatting.
Start with the free download. Run it with your actual workforce for a pay cycle. If at the end you find you need multi-site cloud sync, biometric devices, a mobile supervisor app, or integration with QuickBooks, Xero, SAP or ADP, Timeline Digital can build a tailored version on top of what you already know works. Contact us for a custom build.
The number most owners underestimate is the hidden cost of manual labor tracking. Not just admin hours, but disputed overtime, duplicated pay, and lost advance balances. Here is what Timeline Digital customers typically recover in the first 90 days.
Attendance, overtime and payment summaries stop being a Sunday-evening Excel exercise.
Most businesses over-pay 2–4% due to calculation errors and forgotten advances. The LMS closes that gap.
Configurable overtime rates plus an auditable log means disputes end before they reach the owner.
Figures are averages from Timeline Digital customers running 20–200 workers across construction, warehousing, retail and hospitality. Your numbers will vary. But every customer so far has recovered more value than the time it took to install the software.

Straight answers to the questions buyers ask before they download.
A labor management system (LMS) is software that helps businesses track workers, record daily attendance, manage overtime hours, process payments, handle salary advances, and generate workforce reports from a single application. It replaces paper registers and spreadsheets with accurate, automated workflows and is used across construction, warehousing, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, and facility-management industries.
Yes, it is 100% free. There is no subscription, no trial period, no hidden cost, and no feature limitation. Timeline Digital provides this software as a free resource for businesses worldwide. Including the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, UAE, and Pakistan. Download it once and use it for a lifetime.
Yes. This is a desktop application that runs entirely on your computer without needing an internet connection. All data is stored locally on your machine, which means you can use it anytime, anywhere. Even on construction sites, remote factories, or warehouses with no reliable network.
A labor management system covers day-to-day workforce operations: attendance tracking, worker profiles, overtime logging, advance management, and payment calculations. An HRIS (Human Resources Information System) focuses on employee records, benefits, recruitment, and policy administration. Payroll software focuses on salary calculation, tax filings, and compliance. The LMS handles the daily operations cycle that feeds the HRIS and payroll; most SMBs only need the LMS layer.
A WMS tracks inventory, picking, receiving, and stock movement. A labor management system (LMS) tracks the people performing that work. Their hours, attendance, productivity, overtime, and pay. Large warehouses typically run both: the WMS manages goods, the LMS manages workers. In this product, the LMS works standalone and can sit alongside any WMS without forcing a migration.
Absolutely. The software is developed by Timeline Digital, a registered software development company with 13+ years in business and 200+ enterprise clients served. The installer is clean, does not contain malware, and does not collect personal data. Your workforce information stays on your own computer.
The current version supports Windows 10 and later. It runs as a standard desktop application. MacOS and Linux versions are on the roadmap for future releases.
You can install the software on multiple computers for different locations. Each installation runs independently with its own data. For centralised multi-site management with a shared live view, Timeline Digital can build a custom cloud-connected version tailored to your exact reporting structure.
There is no limit on the number of workers. Whether you manage five people or five hundred, the software handles them without slowing down. Reports, filters, and payment calculations scale with your headcount.
The free version includes configurable settings for overtime rates, working days, and company details. If you need deeper customization. Custom reports, API integrations, multi-site cloud sync, biometric attendance, mobile supervisor apps, or industry-specific modules. Timeline Digital can build a tailored version for your operations.
Yes. Overtime rates, working days, weekly caps, currency, and pay-cycle length are all configurable in Settings. The system does not bake in the rules of any single country, so you can align it with US FLSA overtime, UK Working Time Regulations, Australian Fair Work awards, Canadian provincial rules, or German Arbeitszeitgesetz limits by adjusting a handful of fields.
