Timekeeping Statuses Tutorials

A timekeeping system is a tool or method used to record, track, and manage employees’ time. It ensures accurate calculation of work hours, overtime, and attendance. The data collected is used for payroll, compliance with labour laws, performance tracking, and related functions.

In QuickEasy BOS, the Timekeeping module can be used to track both Work and Travel.

Timekeeping is also available on the Mobile App.

When timekeeping records are started or stopped, the following rules apply:

• Projects: Timekeeping records are linked to the Resource on the project, not the logged in user.
• Production: Timekeeping records are linked to the Operator, not the logged in user.

Navigation Example: Main Menu > Operations > Timekeeping

These tutorials explain how to create and edit Statuses for timekeeping.
