Time Tracking & Compliance — start here

InfoLibraryclock icon2 MIN READ·calendar iconUPDATED OCT 30, 2026

Toku's time tracking system helps EOR employees record daily work hours for legal compliance in countries that require it.

Working-time recording for Toku EOR employees in countries whose law requires it. Employees record (or auto-generate) daily start, end, and break times, sign their timesheet, and client admins review, approve, and export the records for labour inspections.

What this is - and is not. The purpose is compliance evidence, not payroll and not surveillance. Every employee on this product is salaried exempt: recorded hours never change anyone's pay, and there is no overtime calculation anywhere. A compliance issue never blocks an employee or an admin - it is flagged, explained, and resolved by people.

Who does what

Role What you do Where
Employee Record your days, review findings, sign your timesheet Employment → Time Tracking
Client admin Enrol employees, configure rules, review and approve timesheets, export records Employment → Time Tracking (admin)

Employees: Time Tracking under TIME & PAY in the left-hand menu opens My Time Tracking, with the current period, the days recorded so far, anything to check, and the sign-off bar.

Client admins: Time Tracking under TIME & PAY opens the admin view, with the Pending approvals, All entries, People and Settings tabs.

Key terms

  • Period — the unit an employee signs: a week (manual entry) or a month (Autopilot).
  • Sign-off — the employee types their full name to attest the record is theirs. This is the legally meaningful act; name, time, and network address are stored with it.
  • Autopilot — for eligible countries, Toku generates daily records from a fixed weekly schedule; the employee reviews and signs monthly instead of typing times daily.
  • Obligation — per country: Required by law, Recommended, or Not required. Set globally by Toku, not by clients.
  • Warning / Violation — a recorded day or week close to (warning) or beyond (violation) a statutory limit such as maximum daily hours or minimum rest.
