In today’s dynamic work environments, managing time, attendance, and compliance is essential for both operational efficiency and employee satisfaction. The TimeTrack application, designed for ZKTeco WFM’s Ultima Series time clocks, delivers a modern, user-friendly interface that empowers employees and employers alike with a robust set of time-tracking and self-service tools. Here’s a closer look at the features that make TimeTrack a comprehensive solution for workforce management.

- Clock In/Out: Standard punch for logging the start and end of a shift.
- Break In/Out: Tracks time spent on breaks to ensure compliance and productivity.
- Meal In/Out: Allows separate logging for meal periods, supporting meal compliance policies.
- Department Transfers: Enables employees to record work time across departments.
- Job Code Entry: Associate hours worked with specific jobs or roles.
- Project & Task Tracking: Supports granular tracking by linking time to particular projects or tasks.
Employee Self-Service Access TimeTrack enables employees to take charge of their schedules and records through intuitive self-service options:
- View Accrual Balances: Check real-time balances for vacation, sick leave, and more.
