What are time logs?

What are time logs?

A time log is a record of an employee's activity with a timestamp, kept in chronological order. This log can track employees clocking in and out of work, and the project task they’re working on, and can be used for client and payroll billing if necessary.

By having a record of time logs, businesses can get a clear picture of the time and attendance of employees, as well as time spent on projects, performance, and productivity. As time logs can be filtered and sorted, managers can use them to get detailed HR reports on the time used across the business.

Why do time logs matter?

Time logs are essential for improving accuracy and precision in time tracking. Businesses can gain a clearer understanding of how time is being used across projects, therefore helping improve process planning aspects such as billing and time estimates. Time logging also makes managing employees clocking in and clocking out of work effortless, across all locations of your business.    

Implementing a time log system also means your business is taking the right step towards becoming streamlined and environmentally conscious. Physical time log spreadsheets are inconvenient, time-consuming to sort through and create a lot of paper waste. Simplifying the process with a cloud-based time-logging software solution.
