Enable Working Time Tracking

Working time tracking can be enabled as an additional feature. It is independent of regular (project) time tracking and is intended for businesses that are legally or contractually required to record start and finish times, as well as longer breaks.

The running working time also helps you keep track of how long a task took, and how many project hours should be recorded for the day.

Activation for individual employees Working time tracking can be enabled for an employee in the form, provided you have the access rights for "Personnel".
Activation for everyone If you select working time tracking as the basis for the Target-Actual comparison (Settings > Time Tracking), it will be enabled automatically for all employees.

Once enabled, it appears in regular time tracking as an additional input option: "Start Work" and "Finish Work", shown above the entry form (1). Working time tracking documents work sequences and automatically calculates breaks (2).

Manual or Automatic Tracking

As well as manual tracking via the web interface, there are other options: from the free MOCO iOS or Android app, to NFC tags, and even a physical button. For other bespoke options, you can use the API, the Zapier action “Record Presence”, and automation via the Shortcuts app (iPhone).

Manual Tracking

Use Play and Stop on hover to start and stop working time with one click (for the current day) – or click on the working time to open the pop-up and enter your work sessions manually.

Voice Input with AI

Once the AI feature is enabled, each user can simply dictate when they worked and when they took breaks. More on time tracking via voice input

Predefine Working Hours & Auto-Fill

If you work set hours, presets make working time tracking much easier. You then only need to make occasional adjustments. If you prefer, you can also use automatic tracking via an NFC/RFID tag, for example.

Preset in Your Profile
In your profile settings (1), you can save your working hours from Monday to Friday under “Working Hours”.

MOCO Fills It In for You
MOCO offers the predefined times as a blue link in working time tracking. If you tick the checkbox “Automatically enter working hours daily” in the settings (2), they will be entered each day shortly after the new day begins – and will be ready at the start of work to fill with project hours.

Mobile App

With the free Android and iPhone MOCO Mobile App, you can track working time as well as project time (including AI voice input).

Long-Press the App Icon for Check-In/Check-Out
On iOS and Android, you can now also check in and out for working time tracking by long-pressing the app icon.

Automate

The iPhone app can be combined with Apple’s Shortcuts app. MOCO provides two actions for automation: Check-in (“clock in” for a new work phase) &  Check-out (“clock out” to end an ongoing work phase). This lets you create different automations.

3 examples of bespoke automation
With the upgrade to iOS 13, all iPhone 7 models and later can read and write NFC tags.
The iPhone is compatible with all NFC Forum chips from type 1 to 5, including: NTAG®, ICODE®, FeliCa™, MIFARE® (Desfire, Plus, Ultralight).

Physical Button

Working time can also be tracked using a button. It’s simple and works without any programming knowledge. We show how in this case study: “Push the button” – time tracking made easy – with MOCO & Flic.

Documenting Home Office

The time tracking feature also includes an option to document home office days.

Filling Work Hours with Project Time

The gap between project time and work hours can be filled with a single click. This works for both new and existing entries.

Tip for accounts with automatic rounding of project hours enabled
Generally, a slight discrepancy in work hours is not an issue. However, if you wish to avoid any deviation, we recommend recording work hours in quarter-hour or 5-minute increments.

Stopwatch Automatically Ends at Work Time End

If you use the stopwatch and click the stop icon, the running timer for project time will also stop automatically.
