Questions about switching from Hubstaff
- What if someone forgets to start a timer?
Add the time afterwards with the client, task, duration and date. Your team can log work as they go or catch up at the end of the day.
- Can I still see what my remote team is working on?
See hours and billable value by person, client, project or task, with notes explaining the work. For a live view, ask us to switch on the Real-time Team Dashboard. It's included on every plan.
- Can I control what each team member sees?
Yes. Choose which clients each person can access and whether they can see other people's time, rates and invoices. Explore team permissions.
- Can managers approve timesheets before billing?
Yes. Ask us to switch on Timesheet Approval so managers can review hours before they're billed. It's included on every plan.
