Open-Source Employee Time Tracking Software

Employee time tracking records when employees work and which breaks they take. The focus is on attendance and timesheets for HR administration. Depending on the product and edition, target hours, overtime accounts, and absences complement the recorded times.

Typical use cases include companies that want to record their team's working hours and prepare them for HR administration or payroll. Whether an application meets the legal requirements where it is used must be checked separately.

Human resources software also manages employee data, job applications, and other HR processes. Employee time tracking supplies the attendance and timesheet data for this.

Project time tracking, by contrast, assigns hours to clients, projects, and activities and provides the basis for invoicing. Distributing hours across projects does not necessarily replace recording start times, end times, and breaks.
