What Are Time Tracking Policies? (Beta)

Define rules for when and how time is tracked, ensuring consistency, compliance, and accurate reporting across your team.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Time tracking policies help organizations enforce consistent time tracking practices across subsidiaries. They’re especially useful for meeting legal requirements, avoiding tracking errors, and aligning with internal processes.

Time tracking policies control when and how time can be tracked, including rules for working days, holidays, and maximum daily hours.

You can use these policies to define rules for specific time tracking scenarios, such as:

  • Blocking time entry on non-working days (e.g. weekends or public holidays)

  • Limiting how many hours can be tracked per day

  • Adapting time tracking rules to local labor laws or to different offices or subsidiaries

Once created, a time tracking policy can be assigned to users from selected subsidiaries. By setting these rules in advance, you reduce the risk of inconsistent time entry and help employees track time in line with expectations.

πŸ“Œ You can also define a default policy applied automatically to users belonging to a subsidiary without a defined default policy.

Setting up time tracking policies is available on the Ultimate subscription plan.
