Overview

Let’s talk about eBillity’s Time Tracker –  a time tracking software that offers some great features that can simplify your workflow.

Firstly, Time Tracker allows employees to clock in and out, take breaks, and submit their time for approval, ensuring that their work hours are tracked and accounted for.

What I love is that it offers features such as timesheet approvals, notifications, alerts, payroll tracking, scheduling, and time off (leave) management – this software can take care of all your employee management needs. You can rest easy knowing that all aspects of employee attendance and productivity are being efficiently tracked.

Another great feature is Time Tracker’s integration with other payroll and accounting software like LawPay. It can automatically remind staff to track their time and also has a special feature for legal time tracking called LawBillity. This feature allows for legal expense tracking per case and receipt tracking, which can save you and your team a significant amount of time.

However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows with Time Tracker. There is a confusing error message that pops up when entering a non-billable time, which is quite frustrating. The inability to differentiate between billed and unbilled time entries is another major issue, along with the software’s confusing administrative interface. Furthermore, I feel the software can be slow to load, and bugs occasionally force users to re-enter data, resulting in wasted time that no one wants from software that is supposed to increase efficiency.
