In Stafiz, time management is highly flexible, enabling you to keep close track of the time spent by your employees on your company's projects, whether internal or external. This time-tracking data can be used directly in project reports, ensuring that your financial indicators are as close to reality as possible, and saving you considerable time. Find out more!

 

Time tracking features adaptable to your organization

Time entries (from past, present, and future) can be set up in various ways with Stafiz: in numerical values, in half-day blocks, and in calendar modes. The choice of calendar settings is crucial to ensure ease and frequency of use for your employees.

 

3 flexible features allow you to customize employee time tracking to your organization:

1. The number of periods in a day

This feature corresponds to the number of periods that make up a full working day. For example, a day can be split into 2 periods, the morning and the afternoon. It could also be split into 8, corresponding to each hour within an 8-hour work day. The split will be dependent on your company's work habits.

 

2. Display settings

You can choose between two types of displays:

  • "By number": indicates that your colleagues will enter a number. For example, if the number of fractions in a day is 4, we'll enter "2" if I spent half a day on the assignment, and "4" if it was the whole day. This is the classic display.

  • "By block". This mode only applies if you have selected 2 fractions of a day. It then displays two rectangles per day, one for the morning and the other for the afternoon, which can be activated by clicking on them to enter times.

3. Customize time log settings with specific increments

The choice of granularity in Stafiz. There are numerous parameters to adapt the platform to your organization.

This feature corresponds to the precision with which the collaborators will be able to enter their hourly progress. For example, if the manager enables the setting specifics to increments of 1, users will only be able to enter their hourly progress in fractions of one. So, if the day is split into 8 and the user spent 5.5 hours on a task, the user can only enter 5 or 6 hours in the time log. However, if the manager changes the settings to increments of 0.5, that user will now be able to enter their project time as 5.5 hours. This agility in setting specifics allows for the possibility of precision in time tracking and follow-ups.

Through Stafiz, you can create production plans with project costs in order to allocate resources to customer projects. This plan can be created by setting indicators to days or hours so that you are able to specify whether certain employees are working on a daily basis or hourly basis.

Billing in Stafiz

As soon as your employees have entered their time spent on a project, all you have to do is edit the specific invoices.

For fixed project prices and contract-based projects, you can select days within the past month along with the time employees spent on the project; the selected information will be automatically recovered to be invoiced at rates indicated by the specific project.

You can also detail invoices by manually indicating the number of worked days on the project.

For projects carried out under contract, there is an additional tab, "Invoicing status", which allows you to compare actual production with invoiced production. It is therefore important to enter times correctly, so as to be able to compare valued production with that not yet invoiced.
