What is time registration?
Time registration is the process of recording the number of hours a person has worked on a specific project or task. Typically, this person—whether yourself or an employee—logs these hours manually. Common terms used for time registration include "time tracking," "logging hours," or "writing hours."
Time registration is often overlooked, even though it is essential for many reasons. It helps monitor employee availability, ensures accurate billing of worked hours to clients, and facilitates salary payments for employees.
Why is time tracking important?
Time tracking serves various purposes. For many employees, particularly those with flexible contracts, it is the primary way to prove their worked hours to their employer. Additionally, freelancers and self-employed professionals typically charge clients based on hourly work, making accurate time registration essential. Moreover, the saying “what gets measured gets managed” holds true—tracking time provides insights into tasks that consume excessive time and highlights areas where efficiency can be improved.
