Use Case 1.

Work hours completion check by HR

Knowing how employees spend their time is one of the major requirements for HR, and the first step is knowing if they are working enough hours per their contracts. In Fillchecker, you can set up groups for users working in different work-time requirements. The default group is working in regular, 8 hour shift, but you can create custom ones for user permitted overtime, or employees working less hours (20 per week, for example). Fillchecker’s report will then offer an overview to see if they are reaching their targets.

To drill down for more details then, we recommend to go over to Timetracker’s reporting, where by default, they can see who worked on what Epics, Projects and Issues. For more in-depth information, they might also utilize custom tags, or the billable/non-billable mark.

Use Case 2.

By checking the Reporting of Fillchecker, they can send a notification to the forgetful users to remind them to add their worklogs. Suppose it is a really busy period, or the users are uncooperative. In that case, the scrum master/administrator now has a special tool to help out their team and finish the worklog administration for all of them. With Timetracker’s new “Log work on behalf of another user” feature, they can go over each of their team’s timeline or calendar view, and fill in the holes.
