Q: What will upgrading cost?
A: For up to 30 employees, $25 Monthly or $275 Annually.
If you have more than 30 employees, the price for each seat will be $0.75 per month or $8 per year.
For example, if a company has 50 active employees the breakdown of their payment would look like the following:
Monthly payment: $25 base cost + ($0.75 x 20) = $25 + $15 = $40/Monthly
Monthly payment: $25 base cost + ($0.75 x 20) = $25 + $15 = $40/Monthly
Annual payment: $275 base cost + ($8 x 20) = $275 + $160 = $435/Annually
Q: From time to time, I encounter an 'Error in File' message when uploading my attendance data. If I decide to upgrade, will this problem persist?
A: No, with Timedox Plus, uploading your attendance data becomes seamless. While errors occasionally occurred in the past, typically related to historical punch corruption, this obstacle will no longer hinder your data upload. In the event of any errors requiring attention, our support team will be automatically notified for a thorough investigation.
Q: How do I upgrade my account?
A: Upon logging into us.timedox.com, a popup message will appear featuring an 'Upgrade Now' button. Clicking this button will lead you to the subsequent step, where you'll be prompted to verify the primary email address linked to your account. If the email is still valid, proceed by reading and confirming your agreement with the Terms and Conditions, then click 'Next.'
