Updated over a week ago

With PeopleTime, your employees can easily track their working hours and manage their attendance with just a few clicks. Let's explore the key features of PeopleTime module:

1. Easy ''Clock in'' and ''Clock out''

With a simple click on the "Clock in" button, employees can activate time tracking when they start their workday. They can also pause the tracking during breaks and "Clock out" at the end of their shift, making the process hassle-free.

2. Create and assign attendance policies to a specific location

The first step towards consistent attendance management is to create an attendance policy and assign it to a specific location. This policy will then be automatically applied to all added or moved employees between locations. To ensure consistent time and attendance management, follow these steps to create an attendance policy and assign it to a specific location:

  1. To create an attendance policy, go to the ''Settings'' section.

  2. Find and select "Attendance policies" in the list of settings.

  3. In the Attendance policies section, click the ''New policy'' button.

  4. Give the policy a name that reflects its purpose or the location for which it is being created.

3. Enable break tracking

You can enable break tracking for your team with a simple checkmark. This feature allows you to accurately track and manage employee breaks, ensuring compliance with labor regulations. To enable break tracking, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the policy you wish to configure for break tracking or create a new policy if it doesn't exist yet.

  2. In the policy settings section, find the "Break enabled" parameter and check the box next to it to enable this feature.

  3. Click on the "Save" button to save the modifications you made to the policy.

Now, break tracking will be activated for your team, allowing you to accurately monitor your employees' breaks and comply with labor regulations.

4. Enable autofill entries

Enable autofill for your employees by checking a box. This useful feature allows employees to automatically fill in their worked hours for the previous dates of the month.

If they forget to log their hours, no worries! They can simply click the "Autofill" button in the Clock in tab, pick the time period they worked, and hit Apply. This will fill in all the past dates, but the future ones won't be filled out.

5. Enhanced ''Clock-in'' tab

The "Clock in" tab has been enhanced to provide employees with a user-friendly interface to view their tracked time. They can conveniently check their tracked hours in a calendar or list format. The system automatically calculates expected hours based on each employee's capacity, as specified in their profile. It also tracks work and break hours, and if an employee takes leave, the "Leave hours" widget displays and calculates it accordingly.

6. Remaining hours widget

Employees can easily keep track of their remaining work hours with the "Remaining hours" widget. This widget accurately calculates the remaining hours by subtracting the tracked work, break, and leave hours from the expected hours. It provides employees with a clear overview of their remaining workload for better time management.

7. Submitting your timesheet in the "Clock in" tab

At the beginning of the month, you will have the option to submit the timesheet for the previous month. To submit the timesheet, follow these steps:

  1. Open the "Clock in" tab in your time-tracking system.

  2. Locate the Submit button, typically located in the upper right corner of the tab.

  3. Click on the Submit button to submit your timesheet.

  4. Once submitted, the widget will change to indicate that your timesheet has been successfully submitted. It changes the status to "Submitted".

7. Centralized attendance tracking

All time tracked at the company level is now conveniently displayed in one centralized location on the ''Attendance'' page. This makes it easier than ever to monitor and manage the working hours of all employees in your organization. Additionally, you can directly nudge employees who still need to submit their timesheets, ensuring timely and accurate record-keeping.
