Why use employee time tracking software?

It centralises working-time records, cuts manual admin and ties hours to the projects and tasks they were spent on.

What is the difference between time tracking and timesheets?

Time tracking captures time as it is worked; a timesheet is the reviewed record. In Goalz.Work, task timers capture the time and the PM approves it at sprint close.

Can time tracking be connected with projects and tasks?

Yes - in Goalz.Work that is how it works. Every timer runs on a task, and tasks belong to projects.

What happens if someone forgets to stop a timer?

A timer left running with no activity on the task for two hours is closed automatically, so a forgotten timer doesn't inflate the hours.

Can time tracking work with employee scheduling?

Yes. Employees see the hours they have logged today against the hours of their scheduled shift.

Is it suitable for remote teams?

Yes. Goalz.Work runs in the browser, so remote and hybrid employees track time the same way as office staff.

Does Goalz.Work export time data?

Hours can be reviewed in Task Reports and productivity views in Goalz.Work, and connected timesheet or payroll applications can read them through a secure API.

Time Tracking

Employee Time Tracking Software

Track time where the work is. Employees run a timer on the task in front of them, and managers see hours by task, project and person - next to the estimate.

What is employee time tracking software?

Employee time tracking software records how much time employees spend working, in a central system rather than on paper or in spreadsheets. Goalz.Work tracks time at the level of the task: an employee starts, pauses and stops a timer on the task they are working on, and every session is kept in the task's worklog. Those hours roll up to projects, sit next to the task's estimate and feed productivity reports - so time is always connected to the work it was spent on.

Key features

Time tracked on the task, not in a separate tool.

Start, pause, stop

A timer on every task. One timer runs at a time, so time isn't double-counted.

Task worklog

Every session for every assignee, listed on the task with its duration.

Logged today

Employees see today's hours per task against their scheduled shift hours.

Estimate vs actual

Hours sit beside each task's estimate, and tasks crossing their estimate are flagged in the sprint summary.

Forgotten timers handled

A timer left running with no activity on the task for two hours is closed automatically.

Productivity reports

Tracked time feeds team, individual and developer productivity views.

On the task

One click to start, and the time lands on the right task.

The timer lives on the task itself, on the task page and the task board. Starting it records a session; pausing or stopping it saves the duration to the worklog. Finishing the task stops the timer and marks the employee's part complete.

Timer on the task page and the task board

Pause and stop are saved even if the connection drops briefly

Ending the task stops the timer and completes it

Today at a glance

Hours logged today, against the shift.

Employees can see what they have logged today, task by task, against the hours of the shift they are scheduled for. It turns the day's plan into a simple target without anyone filling in a form.

Estimates

See where the time is running over.

Tracked hours are compared with each task's estimate. The sprint summary shows assigned against logged hours per developer and flags tasks that have crossed their estimate, so overruns are visible while there is still time to act.
