Currently, RemOnline offers a Work Schedule feature that helps you plan your employees’ working hours. However, many of you have asked for a way to track actual hours worked — in other words, clock-ins and clock-outs.
We're excited to share that Time Tracking is on the way! With this new feature, RemOnline will automatically record employees’ worked hours in Timesheets — making workforce management more accurate and efficient.
Let’s take a look at how it will work.
A New Look for Work Schedule: Meet Employee Hours
In the My Company module, the Work Schedule section will soon be renamed to Employee Hours. This updated section will include:
A Schedule table — showing planned working hours
A new Timesheets table — displaying actual recorded time
How Timesheets Will Be Filled
Timesheets will support two ways of input:
Using the new time tracker, which can be enabled individually for each employee
Manually, by editing the Timesheets table
If an employee forgets to clock in or out, you can adjust their timesheet manually. And if time tracking is not enabled for some employees, their timesheets will simply reflect their planned Schedule by default.
Next to each employee’s name, you’ll see a summary of their total recorded working hours for the selected week or month.
Enabling Time Tracking for Individual Employees
You’ll be able to enable time tracking on a per-employee basis. Just go to Settings > Employees, open an employee’s profile, and scroll to the Working hours section (formerly Work Schedule). There, you can turn on time tracking for that employee.
Once enabled, the employee will see a time tracker in the system header, where they can easily start or pause their shift.
They’ll also find the time tracker on the Home screen of the RemOnline mobile app. Also, there will be displayed their nearest schedule if it’s set.
If an employee works across multiple locations, they’ll be prompted to select a location when starting the tracker. Each pause creates a new interval in their Timesheet.
As mentioned earlier, any missed intervals can be manually adjusted in My Company > Employee Hours > Timesheets.
Smarter Payroll Based on Actual Time Worked
Currently, payroll in RemOnline is based on scheduled hours. But once time tracking is live, Timesheets will become the new source for payroll calculations — including both daily and hourly salaries, plus non-working days.
For example, if an employee is marked as having a day off or sick leave in the Schedule but ends up working, they can simply start the time tracker — and their salary will be calculated accordingly.
This is just the first step. After launch, we plan to enhance payroll rules further by comparing scheduled and actual hours — enabling more advanced setups like overtime and custom bonuses.
That’s it for now. We're sharing this early so you can prepare for the changes ahead. If you have any questions or ideas for the upcoming time tracking feature, we’d love to hear from you via the Support chat.
