Something as simple as recoding hours worked for 20 employees could easily be done with MS Access. With a little effort, you could create your own database to track the employee's.

clicktime is very expensive. But agree it has too many features.
I recently came to know about MYOB. but i am not sure. if it has features like to create (roster,access timesheet online bla bla )

I agree with you.I use to be good with Access but not anymore. It will be hard for me spend time to make to provide information to some one to create for me
I seriously doubt you'll find anything decent for free. Most major accounting programs (Quickbooks, et al) do this to some extent, but their focus is on the monetary side. If you're also looking for scheduling ... well there are a LOT of those around so it's hard to even make a recommendation. For my money, I'd look into the accounting packages like QB, MYBO, etc
