Where was the work done? Record the location per working day
The coronavirus pandemic has permanently changed the working landscape. Working from home became commonplace in record time, and new tax rules also emerged around allowances for working from home and at the office.
In that light, it has become increasingly important to record per working day where the work was carried out. TimeWriter fully supports this with a dedicated entry screen. Here you quickly and easily indicate the location where you worked that day.
The administrator can define up to ten different workplaces – such as 'Home', 'Utrecht office' or 'At client'. That way you not only create an overview, but also meet administrative obligations or internal reporting needs.

Time tracking and workplace registration when working from home
Keep a grip on working hours and workplace
For many organisations, hybrid working is now a permanent part of the way employees work. One day at the office, the next day at home and sometimes at another location. That gives employees flexibility, but makes it harder for organisations to keep an overview of the hours worked and the workplace.
With TimeWriter you easily record where and when employees work. You combine time tracking with workplace registration, giving you insight into the split between working from home, working at the office and working at other locations. This creates an up-to-date overview without employees having to maintain extensive records to make it happen.
Time tracking for hybrid working
With hybrid working, presence at the office is no longer a given. That makes it harder to gain insight into the time worked on the basis of physical presence. Good time tracking ensures that working time is clearly recorded outside the office as well.
Employees log their hours in the way that suits your organisation. The hours can be linked to projects, tasks or other activities. As a result, you see not only how many hours someone has worked, but also what that time was spent on.
Record where your employees work
In addition to the hours worked, the workplace can also be relevant. Is an employee working from home, at the office or at another location? Recording this information gives you a clear picture of how your organisation actually works.
Workplace registration can also help with planning office space. When you have insight into the number of employees working at the office on particular days, you can make better use of the available workstations. In this way, time and workplace registration supports not only the administration, but also the practical organisation of hybrid working.
Registering home working made easy
Working from home does not have to mean complicated administration. Employees can easily log their working hours and indicate that they are working from home. The registration then becomes part of the normal hours overview.
This keeps the administration simple for employees and the organisation alike. There is no need to maintain a separate list of home-working days, and you do not have to reconstruct afterwards who worked from home and when. The information is stored right alongside the relevant time entry.
Insight without constant monitoring
Workplace registration should not become an instrument for constantly monitoring employees. The main aim is to have reliable information available for the organisation and the employee.
With well-configured time tracking, you gain insight into working hours, tasks and workplaces without employees having to spend unnecessary time on it. At the same time, supervisors and managers get an overview that helps them organise staffing, projects and tasks more effectively.
See how your organisation actually works
When employees work across different locations, a gap easily arises between the planned and the actual situation. A schedule may indicate, for example, that someone is expected at the office, while the employee ends up working from home.
By combining workplace registration with time tracking, you get a better picture of day-to-day practice. You can see how often employees work from home, how much time is spent at the office and which tasks are carried out at different locations.
Combining home working and projects
For organisations that work on a project basis, knowing where someone is working is not enough. You also want to know how much time is spent on a project. That is why it is valuable to connect workplace registration and time tracking.
An employee may, for example, work on a project from home for part of the week and at the office on the remaining days. By linking the hours to the project, it remains clear how much time was actually spent on the project, regardless of the workplace.
Better planning of office and home working
Insight into workplaces can also help with planning hybrid working. If it is clear which employees work from home or at the office on which days, you can better match the available capacity to actual occupancy.
That can be important when organisations work with flexible workstations. Instead of assuming the total number of employees, you can take actual attendance into account. This gives a more realistic picture of the office capacity required.
One overview of hours and workplaces
Time tracking and workplace registration do not have to be two separate administrations. By connecting both sets of data, you get a single overview of the way your employees work.
You see which hours have been logged, which tasks they were spent on and from which workplace the work was done. That gives you up-to-date information that is useful for employees, managers, project leaders and the administration.
Suitable for the office, home and on the road
Employees are working less and less from a single fixed location. Besides the office and the home workplace, work may also be done at a client's premises, on a project site or on the road. Modern time tracking should therefore not depend on a single fixed workplace.
TimeWriter supports a flexible way of logging, so employees can record their hours wherever they work. The records remain centrally available, so your organisation keeps the overview.
More insight into hybrid working
Time tracking and workplace registration give you answers to practical questions about hybrid working. How much work is done from home? How many employees are at the office on average? Which projects are worked on from home? And how many hours are actually spent on tasks?
By recording this information systematically, you have reliable data instead of assumptions. That helps you organise hybrid working better and deploy your available people and workplaces more efficiently.
Keep a grip on hours and workplaces alike
Hybrid working calls for a different way of recording and organising. With TimeWriter you combine time tracking and workplace registration in one clear solution. Employees keep track of their hours with ease and your organisation gains more insight into where and when work is done.
Log hours, record workplaces and keep a grip on hybrid working.
