Some companies want to enable time tracking but avoid having employees enter or record working times. Instead, the time entries should be generated automatically for each working day, with the configured target working time for each employee.
Such fully automatic creation of time entries deliberately does not exist: the purpose of time tracking is to record the actual working time. Legal requirements also aim for employees to record their own working times correctly and completely. Time tracking that automatically creates time entries does not meet these requirements.
You still have several options to largely automate recording while complying with the requirements:
Automatic recording via the time clock
You can make recording much easier for employees. Enable the time clock and set a break regulation.
That is all you need to do.
Employees then only need to start the time clock on the days they work and do not have to worry about anything else. Timebutler stops the time clock automatically at midnight, adds the minimum break according to the break regulation, and sets the end time so that the target working time for that weekday is reached.
Note: Even though the time clock can stop automatically, for complete time tracking we recommend that employees also clock the end time and the breaks.
Time recording terminal You can additionally enable the time recording terminal on a tablet to offer employees another convenient way to clock their working times.
Enter multiple time entries
Employees can enter multiple time entries in advance, for example at the beginning of the month for the whole month, or at the start of the week for the rest of the week. Via the entry form for time entries, you can create several time entries at once. There, you can also create the entry for the first day and copy it to the other days of the week or month with a few clicks.
Alternative: overtime feature
If you do not want to record daily working times, the overtime feature might be the better solution for your company. With the overtime feature, employees do not have to enter the entire working time, only overtime and overtime reduction.
