Everything in Dexta Time
Listed from the product itself. Where a feature needs an account with an outside provider, it says so.
Weekly timesheet by project and task
A week grid of hours per project and task type per day. Save a draft, then submit.
Approve or send back
The manager reviews a week, approves it, sends it back with a note, reopens it, or reminds the person.
Approve all clean sheets
One click approves every submitted week within 10% of target hours and flags the rest.
Week lock and unlock requests
Approved weeks lock. HR chooses who can reopen them (HR only, the manager, or nobody). Employees can ask to unlock a week.
Timesheet rules
HR sets:<br>- week start;<br>- standard and maximum hours per day and the hour step;<br>- submission deadline;<br>- how far back and ahead people may fill;<br>- auto-approve after a set number of days;<br>- go-live date.
Billable and non-billable hours
Each project is billable or not. Reports filter on it, and each profile shows billable hours over 5 weeks.
Automatic reminders
Reminders the day before the deadline, overdue notices after it, and a daily digest for approvers.
Filing for someone who has left
HR or the manager fills in weeks or leave for a leaver, so days are not wrongly unpaid.
Projects
Code, client name, department, billable flag, budget hours, project manager, start and end dates, open to all or not.
Allocations
Assign people to a project with a % and the task types they may log, one at a time or in bulk.

A list of task types (5 to start with) that HR can extend.
Web clock-in and attendance log
Clock in and out from the browser. Each day shows Present, Late, Absent, Leave, Holiday or Weekend. Late is judged by the company cut-off or the shift's grace minutes.
Attendance correction
The employee asks to fix a day and the manager approves, through a multi-level chain if one is set.
Phone clock-in with location fence
Clock in from the phone. The position is checked against the office's location and radius (200 m by default). Out-of-fence clock-ins can be allowed, flagged or refused, but clock-out is never refused. Rules apply company-wide or per location.
Selfie at clock-in
An optional photo at clock-in for the manager and HR to see. It is never used for face recognition.
Flagged clock-ins review
Managers and HR see out-of-fence clock-ins. Every look at locations or photos is logged.
Old attendance history
Attendance brought from the old system shows on calendars and reports, read-only.
Live punches from machinesNeeds an eSSL or ZKTeco machine
Machines that speak the ADMS (iclock) push protocol send punches straight to Time. That covers most networked eSSL and ZKTeco models and look-alikes.
Machine safety
Only registered serial numbers are accepted, unknown machines wait for HR's approval, and HR can limit a machine to the office's IP range. Calls are rate-limited, and HTTPS is used, or plain HTTP only if HR allows it per machine.
Import from machine software
For machines that can't push: import CSV or Excel exports from eTimeTrack, ZKTime/Att2000, BioTime or a USB download. The columns are recognised and the file is checked before saving.
Who is who
Machine users are matched to people by HR's map or the employee code. Unknown punches are held for HR.
