If your employees are in a mandatory country, please make sure they consistently track and submit their hours in Plane as part of their legal employment obligations.
For all other locations, while it’s not a legal requirement, we highly encourage regular time tracking to help with planning, reporting, and supporting your local teams.
To log their hours, employees should use the Time tracking tool in their employee profile.
