Managing Time Tracking Policies

Edit, review, or delete time tracking policies to keep them aligned with your company’s current working time rules and needs.

Managing time tracking policies ensures your organization stays aligned as priorities change.

You can edit or archive policies as your organization's needs change.

Setting up time tracking policies is available on the Ultimate subscription plan.

Editing an Existing Policy

To edit a policy, go to Settings > Time Tracking and scroll to the Time Tracking Policies section.

Click on the policy directly or open the three-dot menu next to the policy and select Edit policy. Make your changes and save.

📌 Changes to a policy apply immediately to all users it's currently assigned to.

You can adjust details like:

  • Work schedule rules (working days, holidays, time off)

  • Time entry overlap prevention

Archiving a Policy

To archive a policy, click the three-dot menu next to it and select Archive policy.

Before confirming, you'll see a warning that explains what archiving means:

  • The policy will be removed from all employees currently using it.

  • Restoring the policy will not reassign it to any employees.

Click Archive policy to confirm.

📌 Archiving is permanent in terms of assignments: you'll need to reassign the policy manually after restoring it.

Restoring an Archived Policy

To view and restore archived policies, click Show archived at the bottom of the Time Tracking Policies section.

Find the policy you want to restore and select Restore policy on the right.

The policy will be available again for assignment, but it won't be automatically reassigned to any users.

Seeing Who's Assigned to a Policy

Each policy card shows how many users are currently assigned to it. Click the user count to open a list of those employees.

👉 To assign or reassign a policy, see Assigning a Time Tracking Policy to Users.

What Happens When a Policy Is Updated

Policy updates take effect immediately for assigned users. If a user already entered time that violates new rules (e.g. tracked on a non-working day), they’ll see a warning message or be blocked from editing unless the entry is corrected.

📌 For example:

  • Entries on non-working days may be flagged or blocked

  • Split entries (e.g. time off + work) will be validated against each segment
