5 What’s the difference between time tracking and overtime management in Timebutler?
In Timebutler, you can choose between two options: time tracking or overtime management, but not both at the same time.
Time tracking is the full solution and the one most companies use. Employees can clock in and out easily using the app, a terminal, or the web — including start times, breaks, and end times. Based on this data, Timebutler automatically calculates overtime, takes holidays, individual working hours, rounding rules, break rules, and more into account. You also get lots of reports, calendar views, and summaries. This helps you fully meet legal time tracking requirements.
Overtime management is a simpler option without detailed time entries. Employees just enter how many overtime hours they worked or took off. No clock-in or clock-out times are recorded. The clock feature is turned off here. This works best for a companies that don’t need full digital time tracking.
If you want to track working hours fully and follow the law, choose time tracking. If you only want to manage overtime hours manually (without detailed time entries), then overtime management is the right choice.
