Frequently Asked Questions

What is employee time tracking, and how does it work?

Employee time tracking is the process of recording how much time employees spend on tasks, projects, or clients. With TMetric, employees track time using a timer or manual entries, and all data is automatically organized into timesheets and reports for managers.

Does TMetric work for remote and hybrid teams?

Absolutely. TMetric is a cross-platform solution available via web, desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), and mobile (iOS, Android). It syncs data in real-time across all devices, making it perfect for monitoring productivity and attendance regardless of where your team is located.

How does TMetric help track employee work hours accurately?

TMetric provides real-time timers, manual time entries, and activity tracking options that reduce errors and time loss. This ensures accurate records of working hours for payroll, productivity analysis, and project planning.

Can employees track time automatically or manually?

Yes, TMetric supports both automatic timers and manual time entry. Employees can choose the method that fits their workflow, whether they prefer tracking time in real time or logging hours after completing tasks.

How does TMetric handle offline time or forgotten timers?

We’ve got you covered. If an employee forgets to start the timer, they can add time entries manually. Additionally, our desktop app features "Idle Detection" to alert users when they’ve been away from their desks and "Offline Mode" to record time even without an internet connection.

What reports can managers get from employee time tracking data?

Managers can access detailed reports on worked hours, productivity, project progress, team performance, and usage of apps and websites. These insights help optimize workloads, improve efficiency, and make informed business decisions.

Can we integrate TMetric with our existing project management tools?

Yes. TMetric integrates with over 50 popular services, including Jira, Asana, Trello, Monday, and Notion. You can track time directly from within these apps using our browser extension, ensuring a seamless workflow without switching tabs.

How does TMetric simplify payroll and invoicing?

TMetric automates the transition from "hours worked" to "payment." You can set billable rates for employees, track overtime in timesheets, and generate professional invoices or profitability reports in a few clicks. It also integrates with accounting software like QuickBooks.

Can we track vacations and sick leave within the app?

Sure. TMetric includes a built-in Time Off module. Employees can request leave (vacation, sick days, etc.) directly in the app, and managers can approve them. These hours are then automatically reflected in timesheets for accurate attendance tracking.

Is there a limit to how many employees I can track?

TMetric is built to scale. We offer a Free plan for teams of up to 2 people, and our Professional, Business, and Enterprise plans support unlimited users. You can easily add or remove seats as your team grows.
