With a time tracking policy, you decide how and when employees track their hours. You set, among other things, whether employees submit their hours daily or weekly, and whether time tracking is mandatory.
Create a time tracking policy
To add a new time tracking policy, go to the hours overview and choose Actions > Add time tracking policy. Then fill in the following details:
Time tracking policy name
Give the policy a clear name, such as 'Office staff time tracking'.Default policy
If you turn this option on, HoorayHR automatically applies the policy to new colleagues.Period

Turn this option on if employees must track their hours. HoorayHR then automatically prepares a draft entry.Default policy
If you turn this option on, HoorayHR automatically applies the policy to new colleagues.Auto-approve
Choose whether HoorayHR automatically approves time tracking entries. You can set this to always, or only when there are no warnings.Absence days
HoorayHR automatically submits and approves full absence days (leave and sick leave days), so employees do not need to write hours during their absence.
Tip: You can create multiple time tracking policies. This is useful if you have different agreements for tracking hours, for example by team, department or type of employment.
