What Is a Time Entry System?

A time entry system is software that records the hours people spend on work and turns those records into usable business data. Each entry shows who worked, on which project or task, and for how long. The system collects entries into timesheets, applies hourly rates, and feeds the totals into payroll, invoicing, and reports.

A spreadsheet stores hours someone typed in from memory; a time entry system records them as the work happens and keeps rates, approvals, and reports attached to every entry. WebWork supports both automated tracking and manual entries, so office, remote, hybrid, and field teams can record time in the same system.

Four Ways to Add Time Entries

Teams rarely record time in just one way, so WebWork doesn't force one. Choose the entry method that fits each team or let different teams use different methods inside the same workspace.

A Complete Time Entry Management System

Recording hours is the start. WebWork turns the entries into the documents your business runs on:

WebWork AI Turns Time Entries into Answers

WebWork AI analyzes tracked data, flags irregularities in activity patterns, and identifies employees at risk of burnout so you can step in early. It works on its own, too: the AI reviews your team's performance data and sends what's worth knowing straight to your inbox, from periodic performance reviews to budget overrun alerts. And when the data calls for action, you can delegate it. Ask WebWork AI to create a task, start a standup, or update a member's details, right from WebWork, Slack, or WebWork Chat.

For fully hands-off oversight, the Smart Monitoring add-on checks every employee's activity data daily and reports back without being asked.

A Time Entry System That Protects Employee Data

WebWork is fully GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA compliant at every stage of collection, storage, and processing, and stores your data with industry-standard encryption. Employees are informed of the tracking mode applied to them under WebWork's transparency settings.

Monitoring features are configurable, so time entry works with as much or as little oversight as your policy allows. Screenshots, for example, can be blurred or disabled entirely for specific projects, users, or time periods.

Who Uses a Time Entry System

Any team that pays or bills by the hour benefits from a time entry software.

Integrates with the Tools Your Team Uses

WebWork integrates natively with the tools your team already works in, including Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Trello, Notion, Wrike, Slack, and more. Projects, tasks, and members import into WebWork, and in tools like Asana, Jira, and ClickUp, tracked time appears on the original task. For everything beyond the native list, Zapier and Make connect WebWork with 8,000+ apps.

FAQ

Employees either track time automatically with an app or enter hours manually. The software collects the entries into timesheets, applies hourly rates, and produces payroll calculations, invoices, and reports from them.
Look for both automatic and manual entry options, timesheets with approvals, hourly rates, payroll and invoicing support, and reporting. WebWork includes all of these, along with Task Management, Project Budgeting, and Shift Scheduling.
Start from how your team works: remote and hybrid teams usually need automatic tracking, while field teams need mobile apps and GPS. Then check that the system covers your payroll and billing process end to end, and compare pricing per user. WebWork starts at $3.99 per user per month.
Payroll depends on knowing exactly how many hours each person worked. A time entry system records those hours, applies rates, and produces payroll reports, so pay is calculated from records instead of estimates.
Automated entries record hours as they happen instead of relying on what people remember at the end of the week. Payroll calculated from those entries has fewer errors and fewer disputes to resolve after payday.
It removes the manual work of collecting hours: employees stop filling in timesheets by hand, and managers stop assembling them for payroll. The recorded data also shows which projects and tasks take the most time, so you can redistribute workloads based on real numbers.
Accurate records of worked hours, faster payroll and invoicing, and visibility into how time is spent across projects and people. Teams also spend less time on timesheet admin because collection happens automatically.
Yes. WebWork supports both automatic tracking and manual time entries, so employees can record hours worked away from the tracker.
The terms overlap heavily. Time tracking usually refers to recording hours automatically with a running tracker, while time entry also covers adding and managing hours manually — most modern tools, including WebWork, do both.
Paid plans typically run $4 to $12 per user per month. WebWork starts at $3.99 per user per month billed annually and offers a 14-day free trial without a credit card.
