Fillchecker offers easy-understand Timesheet reports showing individual users' or groups' worklog completion based on time models depending on the expected daily working hours e.g. part-time and full-time employees. Suppose there is anything out of the ordinary (currently if the worklog durations don’t reach the required minimum, but other features are coming). In that case, it will then send pre-set notifications to the user and the relevant managers. As such, it offers easier compliance compatibility with Jira’s time-tracking feature.
Due to this, it is a perfect complimentary app to EverIT’s own Timetracker for Jira plugin - or any other time tracking tool that uses Jira’s native database for storing worklog data. We’ve prepared use cases to show you examples of how they can work together and bring about conversations on proper time-tracking methods inside an organization.
Use Case 1.
Finding missing worklogs before invoicing
The final days before a project’s deadline are usually the hardest and most chaotic. Everyone’s rushing to finish the project-related work, and this can cause less attention to be taken on administrative tasks like time-tracking. When that happens, a scrum master or an administrator is quickly alerted to fewer and fewer worklogs being created through notifications from Fillchecker.
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 “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.
To see that in action, and learn how to set it up for your company or team-managed projects, watch the tutorial video below:

Use Case 2.
Investigating overtime
With regular checks, Fillchecker’s reporting is the first line of defense that can bring Management’s attention to a project consuming too much energy, especially if it starts to become a trend after a few days. On one hand, it can trigger conversations about the resources allocated to the given project. On the other, it can serve as a basis for talks about different compensation levels.
In the second scenario, it's advantageous to distinguish between tasks completed within regular working hours and those requiring overtime efforts. External time-tracking tools, including our Timetracker, allow the addition of specific details to worklogs, such as a custom tag like "Overtime." Detecting a consistent pattern of excessive work without clear justification may prompt discussions about the appropriate utilization of tags for worklogs.

In conclusion, whether streamlining your team's time-tracking endeavors with Timetracker or ensuring accurate worklog entries with Fillchecker, these apps complement each other seamlessly. The shared use cases illustrate how the integration of these tools can enhance efficiency, minimize disruptions, and foster a more organized workflow. As you explore the possibilities offered by Timetracker and Fillchecker in tandem, you unlock a new level of productivity and precision in managing your Jira projects. Elevate your time-tracking and worklog management with this powerful duo, and propel your team towards greater success in Jira.
