Reporting Time by Department

Virtual TimeClock offers the ability to view timecard information by department for labor costing and productivity tracking purposes. Departments are used solely for reporting purposes; employees do not clock in/out of departments. If your users switch between departments regularly, consider using the Activities feature. This article will explain how to create departments, assign users to departments and view departmental reports.

Note: The Department feature is only available in Pro or Network edition.
