Retain Time
The core role of Retain Time is to capture where each employee has spent their time. The main screen reflects a familiar timesheet format much like many traditional paper based timesheets.
Managers can run reports to analyze the time spent on tasks and projects and turn this into costs based on staff hourly rates. If being used with Retain, comparisons of the planned time and cost can be made.
