Recorded working hours can be used to track the hours of an hourly pay employee, for payroll, and for allocation to calculation targets. For a monthly salary employee, working hours can be tracked and pay can be allocated to calculation targets. When a company has time management and calculation targets, monthly obligations can be automatically allocated to calculation targets based on working hours. Help: Allocation curve

Conditions for recording working hours
Payroll > Personnel > Employee listing
Recording working hours is possible if the following conditions are met. Information can be easily managed in bulk from the employee listing.
- Person is added as an employee: The user must be created as an employee (Help: creating a new employee). The validity of the employment relationship does not affect the entry of working hours.
- Person has Salaries service enabled: The employee must have the Salaries service activated to record working hours. The service can be activated, for example, from the employee listing bulk action menu (Help: Employee listing).
- Person's status is active: In the working hours entry view, working hours can only be added for active employees (passive ones do not appear in the selection list). Activity can be easily managed, for example, from the employee listing bulk action menu (Help: Employee listing).

- Person is added to the environment as a user, e.g., with the Employee role: Working hours can be recorded on mobile without adding the person as a user in Netvisor, but logging into the browser version requires adding access rights. Help here.
Hours or clock times
The salary model can be set to determine how working hours can be entered in the Record working hours view or in the Netvisor mobile application. The employee cannot choose from the view how they want to record their hours; the payroll accountant makes this decision. Help: salary model settings.

In hours
- In hours, 7 hours 30 minutes is given as 7.5 h.
- When adding a new working hours row, the system automatically suggests the number of hours for the day, calculated by dividing the regular weekly working hours by the number of working days in the week, so that the day's and week's working hours are complete.

In clock times
- When entering clock times, the start time and end time are given.
- Any break taken during that time can be indicated. For example, 08:00 - 16:00 including a 30-minute break results in 7.5 h of working time.
- The same result can be achieved by making two separate entries and omitting the break (e.g., 08:00 - 11:00 and 11:30 - 16:00).
- For example, the clock time "09:00" can be entered in formats such as 0900, 09:00, 9:00, 900, or just 9. The program interprets and completes the information as a clock time and displays it with a colon. If interpretation cannot be made, the field is shown in red to indicate an error.

Frequently asked questions
Why can't I record working hours in the browser version, but it works with the mobile app?
Check with the company's user administrator that the employee's access rights are correct on the Users and roles page. Employees must have at least edit rights for the "Record working hours" section. There is a ready-made "Employee" profile in the access rights for employees, which provides all necessary rights for the employee, and there is no need to manually edit the rights.
Why doesn't the flexitime balance decrease even though I didn't record working hours for a certain day?
Netvisor's flexitime tracking only follows those days where time entries have been saved. More information on flexitime in its own guide. Help: Flexitime.
Why can't I confirm the open working hours of the period?
Confirming working hours is only possible for a created pay period, which must be created on the Payslips and periods page. Help: Confirming working hours.
