Time Accounting Overview

Use the Time Accounting module to track the amount of time spent in performing your daily tasks, the descriptions and costs of materials used while performing those tasks, and the usage of vehicles related to the tasks performed.

As employees log their activity in the time accounting tracker, the agency can calculate the fees and charges and apply them to the application in “real time”. For example, an agency can track the time a user spends on a particular process or group of processes.

• Agencies can record costs relating to time and materials that are not directly related to processing any specific information. This information is entered for reporting purposes only.
