Working time in a period

This view does not include the carry-over and capping of overtime between months and years. It only displays the working time in the period. Read here how to [open the working time account.(/time-tracking/working-time-account/working-time-account-overview/)

Read the working time account from left to right: almost all numbers in the working time account result from adding or subtracting the numbers in the respective columns. In detail:
