Manual Time Tracking

Manual time tracking is a helpful feature for creating working times retrospectively. It is especially useful when:

• An employee did not clock in.

• Someone was forgotten in the duty rota.

• Times need to be recorded for other reasons.

Since this method is not recommended as the standard, it is not directly selectable in the employee overview. We recommend using it primarily to add missing times afterwards. ​

How to enter times manually

• Open the time tracking index: Click on the clock icon in the left navigation bar.​

• Start manual entry: Click on “+ Add time” at the top right.​

• Enter data: Fill in the following information:​

  • Employee name

  • Date

  • Start and end time of the working time

  • Optional: Add a note or Tag

• Save: Check your entries and click “Done” to save the time.​

Important notes

• Area of use: Manual time tracking should only be used in exceptional cases to correct errors or missing entries.​

• Precision: Make sure you enter all data accurately, as it is relevant for payroll and evaluations.​
