time keeping
Tracking the hours
Timekeeping is the measuring and recording of time, whether by clocks, watches, or other devices.
In sports and workplaces, timekeeping tracks duration—how long a race takes, how many hours an employee worked.
Good timekeeping also means punctuality: Her timekeeping is impeccable; she's never late.
Also spelled as two words.
