Time management software or timesheet management software is accounting software which is used to maintain timesheets for each person in a company. Such software allows employees to enter their time, which can be approved/rejected by supervisors or project managers. Increasingly this software is web based, making deployment much easier. Most time tracking software is commercial or shareware. However, there are a number of free web hosted solutions available – see Comparison of time tracking software.
Time tracking software may be:
Standalone – used only to record timesheets, and generate reports
Integrated into accounting system – where timesheet data is directly fed into company accounts
Integrated into billing system – used to generate invoices, especially used by contractors and professionals such as lawyers
Integrated into project management systems – timesheet data is used in project management
software to graph the effort being spent on each project or task.
Integrated into payroll system – timesheet data is used in payroll software to pay employees based on their time worked.
