WHAT WORKFRAME ADDS
Leave, plus where work stands.
If you track leave in one tool and ask for work updates in another, Workframe puts both in the same place.
- Working patterns by morning and afternoon, with start dates when hours change.
- Pro-rata allowances worked out from each person’s pattern in one step.
- A daily work log, with expected and logged time side by side. No clocking in and no monitoring.
- Expected time drops automatically on holidays and leave days.
MOVING ACROSS
Moving from Timetastic.
Setting up takes a few steps. There is no automatic import from Timetastic, so bring your current balances across by hand.
- Start a trial and create your workspace with your country, timezone and currency.
- Set your working week and leave year to match your current setup.
- Check your leave types. Annual leave and sick leave are created for you. Add any others you use, and your public holidays.
- Add your team. Import staff from a CSV file with Name and Email columns, or add people one by one, then set each person’s working pattern.
- Set allowances. Use pro-rata where it helps, then enter each person’s remaining balance from Timetastic as carry-over.
- Invite people and share the calendar feed, then run both tools side by side until you are happy.
