Time tracking policies help organizations enforce consistent time tracking practices across their teams. They’re especially useful for meeting legal requirements, preventing 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 different teams/offices
Once created, a time tracking policy can be assigned directly to individual users. By setting these rules in advance, you reduce the risk of inconsistent time entry and help employees track time in line with expectations.
📌 You can also define a default policy, which will be applied automatically to new users who don’t have a policy assigned.
Setting up time tracking policies is available on the Ultimate subscription plan.
