We know exactly how overwhelming it can be to try something new. However, with the right assistance, switching to a new way of working becomes a piece of cake. If you and your company have decided to switch to a modern time tracking solution<\/strong>, implementing the system in your business should not be a hurdle. That’s why we have set ourselves the goal of making TimeTrack<\/strong> as simple<\/strong> and intuitive<\/strong> as possible. To make it even easier to get started with TimeTrack, we have summarized the most important steps for you. By following these instructions, you can optimally adapt the tool to your individual needs and tailor it to your operation. Let’s get started right away.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Create User<\/h2>\n
\n

Set Up User Profile<\/h3>\n

You define the user profiles of all employees in Data Administration > Users<\/strong>. First, you create the data of your users, select their respective function (team leader, admin, external, etc.) and save everything. For each user you add a password. We recommend that you simply create one password for all users, since each user must set his or her own password as soon as he or she has access to the profile.<\/p>\n

Add Working Hours Model<\/h3>\n

You can or should create a working hours model for each user. You do this directly in the user profile under Working hours model > Show settings<\/strong>.

The working time model is especially important for the vacation entitlement<\/strong> and the timesheet<\/strong> of the employees. The vacation entitlement is always calculated depending on the most current working time model. The timesheet, in turn, uses the target hours from the working time model and can thus calculate the actual working hours for each employee.<\/p>\n

Important<\/strong>: For each user, specify whether the timesheet is created based on working or project times. In TimeTrack, a distinction is made between legal working hours\/attendances and project times. (If you are only interested in project times, employees must track their working times under the Project Time Tracking menu item. However, if you are only interested in the legal working hours\/attendances of the employees, then the employees only need the time clock, which can be found in the Attendance Tracking menu.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

When creating a new working hours model<\/strong>, you should pay attention to the following points:<\/p>\n
