Record, review and close working time

Staff record their time; managers review, approve and close each month. Only approved revisions are exported.

What you can do safely afterwards
  • Every working day has a complete record with breaks, and every change has a reason.
  • The month is approved, closed and exported from the approved revision.
What you need before starting
  • Staff are set up as people in the team and sign in to STRYK with their own account.
  • Recording needs the permission to record one’s own working time. Reviewing, approving and reopening need the matching manager permissions.
01

Record time

Start, break and end sit as a card in Team: on the overview at the top of Chat and under Roster → Working hours.

Record a working day

  1. 01
    Start work

    Select “Start work” when your shift begins.

    Your working time is running.
  2. 02
    Record breaks

    Select “Start break” for every break you take and end it when you continue working.

    The break appears in the day’s record.
  3. 03
    End work

    Select “End work” when your shift ends.

    The day shows start, breaks and end.
02

Add or correct time

If you forgot to start, use “Add time” and enter a reason. A wrong entry is changed with “Correct time”, also with a reason. The reason is stored with the change.

03

Compare plan and recorded time

“Plan and recorded time” shows the planned shifts next to the recorded time and the difference from the plan. Use it to find missing or unusual records before the month is reviewed.

04

Closing the month

Each month goes through four steps. Approval and closing are done by the responsible manager.

From recording to closing
ActionUsually done byWhat it does
“Review month”Staff memberShows the month with gaps and differences.
“Submit month”Staff memberHands the month over for approval.
“Approve month”ManagerConfirms the times as an approved revision.
“Close month”ManagerCloses the period for further changes.
05

Reopen and export

If a closed month needs a change, “Reopen period” opens it again; a reason is required, and the previous approval is kept. “Export approved revision” exports only approved times, for example for payroll.

Final review

Every month is recorded, approved, closed and exported from the approved revision.

  1. 01Every working day has start, end and the breaks actually taken.
  2. 02Every added or corrected time has a reason.
  3. 03Differences between plan and recorded time are explained.
  4. 04The month is approved before it is closed.
  5. 05Only the approved revision goes to payroll.

Common mistakes and the right solution

Problem

Breaks are missing from the record.

Solution

STRYK does not deduct breaks automatically. Add or correct the break with a reason.

Problem

A closed month needs a correction.

Solution

Use “Reopen period” with a reason, correct the time and approve again.

Problem

The export does not contain the latest times.

Solution

Only approved revisions are exported. Approve the month first.
