Employee Hours Tracking App by Field Team Tracking

Employee hours tracking app: where the numbers come from

An employee hours tracking app is only as honest as its start time. In Field Team Tracking, the day begins with a selfie punch that must pass a live check, inside the office circle unless the branch accepts punches elsewhere. Pauses are marked with Break and Resume work buttons, and each break is kept. The finishing punch closes the day. From those times, the branch rules decide whether the arrival was late and whether a short day counts as half. Employees see their own report in four views, from today back to the month before, hours and pauses shown together. The owner picks a branch and a date range in the web report, which lists every day’s start, finish, hours and pauses, and downloads it as Excel for payroll. For field staff, the route view adds worked time, idle time and time spent at the office.

Employee hours tracking app or a project timer?

Many hours apps on the market are timers: start a clock on a task, stop it, bill the client. That suits freelancers and agencies. This app tracks the working day itself, which suits shops, sales teams, service crews and office staff whose pay depends on attendance. Teams still on paper can begin with the staff attendance sheet layout, and the punch screen is described on the punch in punch out app with location page. The punch rules are explained on the staff attendance app page, the live face check on the selfie attendance app page, and field routes on the staff time clock and tracking page. Hours set beside places visited are shown on the employee time and location tracking app page, and policies for a dispersed workforce on the field workforce management software page. Late marks and absences across a month are on the staff attendance tracker page.

Employee hours tracking app example: a cleaning company in Melbourne

An invented company, with sample hours. A cleaning company in Melbourne sends 25 cleaners to offices on early and late shifts. Paper timesheets arrived a week late, often with rounded times.

Each client building is set up as a branch with its own office location, so cleaners punch in on arrival and press Break during meal stops. The office exports the fortnight’s hours to Excel for payroll on the day the period closes, and disputes about rounded times stopped.
