Control Laboral App · Windows + Web
Time tracking for employees working from home on Windows
Remote work needs a shared process for recording time and reviewing availability, without assuming that constant computer interaction equals good work. Control Laboral App lets Windows employees record their working day while managers consult the records and desktop activity online. The current application interface is currently Spanish; email support is available in English, so language suitability should be part of your trial.
EUR 4 per employee per month, excluding applicable taxes. 14-day trial without a card.

Make the home-working day understandable
Agree when employees should start and stop their recorded working period, how they should raise unexpected entries and which manager reviews them. Use the same instructions for home and office days where appropriate. A clear routine reduces the need to reconstruct a month from chat messages, but the company still needs an owner for reviewing exceptions and discussing the record with staff.
Discuss activity without assuming constant availability
Application usage and inactivity provide context about the Windows computer, not a complete account of the employee’s work. Calls, meetings, thinking and offline reading may all explain a period of little interaction. Review a meaningful period alongside agreed tasks. The productive-time indicator reflects recorded activity classifications; it should not be presented as an automatic measure of effort or completed work.
Coordinate time records and planned absence
Managers can review employee records, export them as CSV and handle vacation or day-off requests. The monthly calendar helps connect a request with the team’s planned availability. It does not calculate local statutory balances or replace a payroll process. For monthly administration, review the CSV and filter the relevant month in a spreadsheet before passing it to the next responsible person.
Check a real home-working setup
Use an actual employee Windows computer and the network on which the client will run. Test clocking, the manager’s record view, a CSV export and a leave request. The current service does not include a native phone time clock, Mac or Linux employee client, GPS or project billing. For teams spanning countries, confirm the displayed dates and times with the pilot; do not assume automatic time-zone conversion.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I track working hours for a hybrid team?
- Employees using the Windows client can follow the same recorded-time workflow on office and home days. Confirm the equipment, language and company review instructions before rolling it out.
- Does inactivity show that a remote employee stopped working?
- No. It shows a lack of measured computer interaction. Ask about meetings, calls and offline tasks before interpreting an unexpected period or drawing conclusions about performance.
- Can teams in different time zones use it without testing?
- Test the relevant employee and manager locations before relying on a cross-border reporting process. The service does not advertise automatic time-zone conversion; confirm how dates and times appear for your setup.
