Alpha Time Tracking
Log working hours, submit timesheets for approval, and review reports.
The time tracking system lets employees log working hours against projects and tasks. Entries follow an approval workflow before they are finalized and counted in reports.
Time Entry Statuses
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
DRAFT | Entry can be edited or deleted by the employee |
SUBMITTED | Entry is locked and waiting for manager review |
APPROVED | Entry is finalized and included in reports |
REJECTED | Entry returns to DRAFT with a rejection reason; employee can revise and resubmit |
Linking Time Entries
Each time entry can be linked to:
| Entity | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Project | Track time spent on a specific project |
| Task | Associate hours with a particular task within the selected project |
Links are optional; entries without a project still count toward weekly totals but are bucketed as "no project" in the weekly progress bar.
