time tracking
Recording work duration
Time tracking is the practice of recording how long tasks or activities take, typically for billing clients, measuring productivity, or managing projects.
Workers track time on timesheets or through software that logs hours automatically.
The firm requires time tracking in six-minute increments.
Time tracking can feel like surveillance when imposed by employers, or like useful self-knowledge when voluntary.
