Basic Setups

  1. Set your timezone to CET.
    • Click your profile icon in the upper right corner > Profile Settings > Time Settings > Time zone > choose (UTC +1:00) CET. It’s normal to receive a timezone mismatch notification.
    • Reason: This will ensure that we have a centralized timezone for checking hours, as the default setting is based on your local timezone.With this, everyone in the team can see the same number of hours reported.

  2. Set your working days. Default work days are Monday to Friday. Check the Timesheet or Calendar tabs and confirm if the grayed out days are your weekends. Reach out to Freshelle/Nico if you want to update your work days.

  3. Optional: Activating Task filter if you prefer tracking hours on a per task basis, not per working group/project.

  3. Team communication for accurate tagging.
    If you can’t find a project in Clockify or should there be any questions about proper tagging, reach out to @freshelle.

  4. Regular reviewing of Time Off.
    Check Time Off regularly to see the availability of the team and your PTO balances.

  5. Report hours in Clockify on in a timely manner.
    Ideally, time reports should be entered and finalized in Clockify on or before the 5th of the subsequent month. This is needed to make accounting reports accurately and timely as well.
