  Tracking time spent on projects is essential, whether for logging the progress of a consulting project, capturing data for payroll, or satisfying contractual obligations as a government vendor. Tock allows employees on any platform, from any location, to quickly and efficiently record the time they've spent on tasks and generate valuable reports.

Users can customize their time-sheet entry screens and generate reports based on employee, group, and work category. Each entry captures date, duration, project, work category, and comments. Online help assists in the process. Administrative users can update sensitive information including user passwords, and employee and workgroup status.

User Profile
Workgroups and enterprises of any size that are engaged in hourly or project-oriented tasks, such as auditing, development, design, engineering, planning, and testing.
