Can Teramind be used for time tracking?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Yes. Teramind features built-in time tracking and workforce management, allowing you to monitor employee attendance, log work hours, and generate activity, timesheet, task, and cost reports without needing separate solutions. The system can automatically track clock-ins and assign tasks based on activity and application usage, or you can allow employees to log their own hours through an Agent interface. Regardless of the method you choose, you can create multi-level task lists and assign shifts to each task for accurate cost tracking and project management. Additionally, you can create schedules, manage hours, assign leaves or PTO, and export detailed cost reports for streamlined payroll processing.

Here is a summary of how Teramind supports your time tracking and management needs:

Flexible Time Tracking Options

  • Employee Controlled Time Tracking: You can use the Revealed Agent and let employees track their own time. For more information, check out this article.

  • Automated Time Tracking: If you are using the Stealth Agent, you can automatically track the user's time against projects and tasks using the Tasks and Behavior Rules features. Check out this article to learn how.

  • Automated Activity Detection: Automatically detect work time, session time, idle time, focus time, late arrivals, and absences.

Project & Task Management

  • Multi-Level Task Lists: Build granular task hierarchies to capture precise time spent on various project stages using the Configurations > Tasks screen.

  • Project Cost Tracking: Monitor employee time utilization across specific projects using the Task Cost dashboard to calculate exact ROI (available on the Teramind Legacy dashboard only at the moment).

  • Third-Party Integration: Connect with Project Management tools (Teramind Legacy only) like Jira, Trello, Basecamp, and Redmine to share projects and task seamlessly.

Scheduling & Absence Management

  • Detailed Shift Management: Create schedules, add/remove hours, nanage employee time-off, breaks for better oversight, especially for part-time employees and consultants using the Configure > Schedule screen (available on the Teramind Legacy dashboard only at the moment).

  • Track Discrepancies Automatically: Detect schedule discrepancies such as over/under scheduled work time, absence, late arrivals, early ends, etc. using the Schedule rule.

Productivity & Behavior Analytics

  • Detect Active/Idle Time: Use the Applications and Webpages rules to detect active time, idle time, and focused time and take action based on that. For example, warn a user when they are idling for too long.

  • Activity Categorization: Use Productivity Profiles and the Classification features to label time as productive or unproductive, or create your own custom categories.

  • Performance Analysis: Analyze overall workforce performance and time utilization using dedicated Productivity dashboard.

Financial Reporting & Payroll

  • Automated Payroll Support: View time logs and prepare labor costs using Time Records and Time Cards (available on the Teramind Legacy dashboard only at the moment).

  • Cost Reports: Generate and export comprehensive Employee Cost and Task Cost reports for project planning, invoice processing, and payroll (available on the Teramind Legacy dashboard only at the moment).
