I appreciate you taking the time to set up time tracking in your QuickBooks Online account, Jusleen. Allow me to assist you further and ensure that you'll be able to let your contractors track their time.

 

To start with, please know that time tracking is only available to QBO Essentials, Plus, and Advanced versions.

 

If you're using one of these versions, follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon then select Manage users.
  2. Select Add user then fill in other necessary information.
  3. In the Roles section, select Time track only.
  4. When ready, click Send invitation.

 

By doing this, it allows your contractors to track time for themselves.

 

Additionally, I've added this article for you to check if you and learn how to use basic time tracking in QuickBooks Online: How to use basic time tracking in QuickBooks Online.

 

Feel free to reply to this thread any additional assistance needed managing your QuickBooks Time. Keep safe.

Thank you. When I try to add user, I receive the following message:

Great news! You have a QuickBooks Time subscription

Invite your team from Time so they can track time easier with the app.

 

When I go to Time and click on Invite Team, the contractor does not show up. I was able to add employees this way but I believe there is a setting somewhere per the link in my original post to enable Show Contractors, and I cannot find this anywhere.

    Hello! I had this same question, and QBO Customer service was able to help me right away! In Quickbooks Time, go "Quickbooks Payroll" in the top right corner > click Preferences > check the "Import contractors as team members > X out of there > click on "Quickbooks Payroll" again > click "Import" > once that is done importing, go to "My Team" on the side > all of your employees AND contractors should be there now! > simply click on the contractor and send them an invite to allow them to track their time. Hope this helps someone 😄
