Timesheet | A timesheet is a digital form that tracks employees' billable and non-billable hours in a single workday.
Time Codes | Time codes denote the different types of time an employee can record. Some common examples include: weekday regular hours, weekend regular hours, lunch, travel and overtime. You can create the time codes that work well for your business.
Tags | Tags are for reporting purposes. By creating a tag and attaching it to an employee’s Timesheet, users can run reports on employee work by its tag. A common example is a specific job: if a user wants to know how much billable time has been spent on a specific job, this time can be given a “tag” and then isolated in a report.
How to Create Time Codes and Tags
