Rapid Time Tracking Implementation with Manager Approval

Published {$created} by Viggo

Many businesses struggle with accurate time tracking, leading to inaccurate billing, project budget overruns, and compliance issues. Implementing a system with manager approval offers a strong foundation for accuracy and accountability. Here’s how to quickly realize value from Nureti’s time tracking solution when incorporating this crucial workflow.

Foundational Setup: Registration Types and User Roles

The initial focus should be establishing registration types and user roles. Nureti offers flexible registration types like stopwatch, one-click attendance, and calendar integration – choose the methods most suitable for your team. This allows users to log time quickly and efficiently. Crucially, configure user roles: specifically, the Administrator, Super User, and Normal User roles. The Administrator has full control over the system, while Super Users can perform actions like approving registration edits. Normal users, meanwhile, primarily focus on time registration. See the Nureti features page for a comprehensive list of available roles and permissions. Assigning team managers provides another layer of oversight, allowing for efficient approval chains.

The Approval Workflow: Quick Wins with Registration Approvals

The fastest path to value comes from enabling registration approvals. When a user submits a registration, it enters a pending state awaiting approval by their designated manager. This simple step introduces accountability, ensuring that logged time is verified before being finalized. Managers can quickly review and approve or reject submissions directly within Nureti. Rejecting a submission prompts the user to correct the time entry and resubmit, preventing inaccurate data from impacting payroll or project budgeting. It’s a simple, iterative process that enhances data integrity and prevents downstream errors. To ensure compliance with regulations like the EU Working Time Directive, establishing this approval flow can be critical.

Reporting and Data Insights

Once the approval workflow is in place, leverage Nureti’s data insights. The Statistics widget dashboard provides a real-time view of time logged and approved. You can easily export reports in CSV format for more detailed analysis and integration with other business systems. This visibility allows project managers to track progress against budgets, identify potential bottlenecks, and ensure efficient resource allocation.
