ℹ️ Approval requirements for time registrations can be switched on or off.

Employee must edit today's work hours if deviation

Automatic time registration

If this method is selected, employees does not have to create their daily work hours.

They only have to edit the official work hours if there is a deviation.​

BitaBIZ has 2 methods for official work hours . One of the 2 methods must be activated:

  1. Enter official start time and end time per weekday

  2. Only enter number of net hours per weekday

Access to time registration

Access to time registration is given via the employees' master data card:

πŸ’ Employees can only register and edit working hours, once they have been added access to time registration on their master data card.

If the method "Employee must edit today's work hours if deviation" is selected, the official working hours will be created automatically from when access to time registration is added on the employee's master data card.

πŸ’ We recommend that the global default settings for access to time registration is set to automatically grant access for all new employees. Read more here.
