For so many in the technical world, working remotely or in a hybrid environment has become commonplace.  Many of our staff work on a hybrid schedule here at HMS.  TimeControl is ideal for supporting this.

The flexibility of TimeControl allows almost any kind of data to be attached to or configured right into the timesheet interface.   For example, some of our clients require knowing where work was accomplished.  Was this work done from home or from our office?  Other clients need to know how many days an employee worked at the office and what days those were.

This is easily accomplished in TimeControl through timesheet user defined fields.  We can enter a new column for “work/home”  then give TimeControl only certain options such as “home” or “work” to allow a drop down list.  The list can be as long as you wish.  Alternately it could be left open so people could type in a location.

Once the data is collected, then reporting on it, filtering it or looking for discrepancies is as easy as can be.  The field doesn’t even need to be filled in by everyone.  You can hide such a field using TimeControl’s user profiles so it only appears for certain departments where the data is relevant.

Also, like all other timesheet data.  This type of field can be used for creating validation rules so you can make the field mandatory or create warning message for people out of compliance for your own internal hybrid practices.

If you are using TimeControl Online or TimeControl Industrial Online, our Software as a Service subscription in the cloud, then you already know your employees can access TimeControl from anywhere in the world either on the web or via our free TimeControl Mobile app.  If you are using an on-premise TimeControl then all you have to do is ensure that TimeControl is outward facing so it can be accessed while out of the office.

Flexibility allows TimeControl to be many things.

Supporting a hybrid workforce is just one.
