ETimeTime entry for the Hess System
Your hours, entered from wherever you work.
ETime is a native app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android that connects to your organization's Hess System. Sign in the way you already do, enter and submit your time, check your leave balances, and clock in at the job site in a few taps.
ETime needs a Hess System account from your employer. There's nothing to sign up for on this website, and time can't be entered here.
Features
Everything you do with your time, in one native app.
ETime is built for the way you already work in the Hess System, with your organization's own jobs, time codes, pay periods and rules.
Sign in your organization's way
Enter your work email. ETime uses your Hess System password, or sends you to your organization's single sign-on page if it uses SSO.
Your pay period at a glance
See the current pay period, the hours you've entered, where your timesheet stands and when it's due.
Enter and submit time
Pick a job and time code, enter hours or start and end times, and add a comment. The Hess System checks each entry against your organization's rules.
Clock in at the job site Android
Scan the QR code posted at your work site. ETime confirms you're within the site's area, then starts your clock.
Automatic clock-out Android
Forgot to clock out? If you allow it, ETime notices when you leave the work area while you're clocked in and ends your shift for you.
Keeps working offline
No signal at the site? Your punches wait safely on your phone as pending transactions and send when you're back online, never twice.
Leave balances
Check how much vacation, sick and other leave you have, straight from the Hess System.
Notices from your organization
Read the message board and get notified when something about your time changes, like an approved timesheet.
Signed-in devices
See every phone, tablet and computer signed in to your account, and sign out of all of them at once if one goes missing.
Location & privacy
Location only for clocking in and out. Nothing else.
Location features are optional, and they're limited to your shift at a designated work site.
What ETime does
- Checks your location when you clock in, to confirm you're at the job site.
- While you're clocked in, watches for one thing: leaving the work area, so it can clock you out if you've allowed it.
- Stops using location as soon as you clock out.
- Asks for permission first, through your phone's standard prompt, and keeps working if you say no. You can enter time by hand instead.
What ETime doesn't do
- Track you when you're clocked out or away from work.
- Keep a history of where you've been or the route you took.
- Send your GPS coordinates to the Hess System. Your organization receives your time entry, not your position.
- Share or sell location data. ETime has no ads and no analytics trackers.
Location-based clock-in and automatic clock-out are available on Android. On iPhone, iPad and Mac, ETime doesn't use your location. Read the Privacy Policy for the details, and Support for permission settings.
For IT & HR administrators
Built to fit your Hess System, not work around it.
ETime is a client for your existing Hess System. Your configuration, permissions and approval rules stay exactly as they are.
Enterprise single sign-on
If your organization requires SSO in its Hess System configuration, ETime detects it from the user's email and opens your identity provider (SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect) in the system browser, never an in-app web view. Passwords stay with your identity provider.
The server stays in charge
Every permission is enforced by the Hess System, the same way as on the web. ETime only submits an employee's own time, on rosters they belong to, and never sends approvals.
Sessions tied to a device
Each sign-in is bound to a random, per-install device ID. Refresh tokens are single use, users can review their signed-in devices, and "Sign out everywhere" ends every session.
Protected on the device
Cached data is stored in an encrypted database, tokens in the iOS Keychain or Android Keystore, and nothing is included in device or cloud backups. Signing out wipes it all.
Hardened connections
All traffic uses HTTPS with certificate pinning to the Hess System API. On Apple devices, App Attest confirms requests come from a genuine copy of the app.
No third-party trackers
ETime contains no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, and doesn't log hours, balances, names or credentials.
FAQ
Frequently asked.
Can I clock in or enter time on this website?
No. This website is information only. Time entry happens in the ETime app, or in your organization's own Hess System web pages.
How do I get an ETime account?
You don't create one. ETime uses the Hess System account your employer already set up for you. Sign in with your work email and either your Hess System password or your company's SSO. If you don't have access, ask your HR or IT department.
Who do I ask about my hours, pay or leave?
Your organization's payroll or HR team. They manage your records in the Hess System. For problems with the app itself, write to support@gxsanchez.com.
Does ETime track my location?
Only during a shift you clocked into with location, and only to check whether you're at the work site. It never tracks you while you're clocked out and never sends your coordinates to the Hess System. See Location & privacy.
What happens if I lose signal?
Clock punches are saved on your phone as pending transactions and sent automatically when you're back online. Each one is sent with a unique key, so a retry can never record the same time twice.
Which devices does ETime run on?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later, Macs with macOS 15 or later, and Android phones with Android 8.0 or later.
Spend less time on your timesheet.
ETime is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.
