Some information may be retained longer where needed for legal obligations, disputes, fraud prevention, or enforcement purposes.

What is employee time tracking software?

Employee time tracking software records how employees spend work hours, automatically or manually, across tasks, projects, and applications. It replaces manual timesheets with accurate, real-time data that supports payroll, billing, and productivity analysis.

What is the best employee time tracking software for small teams vs. enterprise?

Insightful fits both ends of that range. Small teams get automatic tracking and simple reporting out of the box, while enterprise teams get capacity planning, compliance certifications, and API access for deeper integration.

Does Insightful track idle time or only hours worked?

Insightful tracks both. It distinguishes active from idle time automatically, so reports reflect actual working time, not just clocked-in hours.

Is Insightful's time tracking accurate enough for client billing?

Yes. Insightful generates timesheets automatically from tracked activity, which can be reviewed, approved, and exported for client billing or payroll.
