What the workbook contains
The monthly sheet provides rows for calendar dates, start time, finish time, a break duration and calculated net time. Set the month and year and use the valid dates for that month. Totals make the recorded duration easier to review, while incomplete or inconsistent entries are flagged for attention. The fictional example shows how to fill a normal working day.
How to complete and review a month
Keep one clearly named copy for each employee and reporting period. Enter times consistently, review any warnings and check a sample calculation manually. The formulas support a single work interval per day, including an overnight interval lasting less than 24 hours. They do not represent multiple shifts, split-day entries or a full approval system. Preserve a reviewed copy using your company’s normal document controls.
Choose manual collection deliberately
A spreadsheet can be sufficient for a small, stable process when someone owns collection and review. It still requires people to enter their times, resolve missing information and manage versions. The workbook does not capture application usage, synchronize employee activity or send leave requests for approval. It is a practical starting point, not a guarantee that a particular recordkeeping requirement is satisfied.
When to evaluate a shared time tracking system
Consider software when collecting files becomes repetitive or managers need one place to review employee records. Control Laboral App records working time through a Windows client and provides a web dashboard, CSV exports and vacation requests. The published subscription is EUR 4 per employee per month, excluding applicable taxes. The current software interface is Spanish; email support is available in English; the trial lasts 14 days and does not require a card.
