Filled in at the end of the month
Time in and time out get written from memory days later, so the DTR shows the hours someone was supposed to work, not the hours they did.

DTR challenges
Where a DTR kept by hand falls short.
Four problems remote teams in the Philippines run into when the daily time record is written up by hand.
Work hours that cross midnight
Teams who work during a client's day abroad start in the evening and finish after midnight, and a paper DTR splits that work across two lines.
See step 2: A DTR line for every dayChecking every line before signing
Supervisors compare each DTR with chats and outputs before they sign it, and a missing time out turns into a back and forth.
See step 3: Approve the hours, add what was missedRetyping the DTR every cutoff
HR copies each person's hours into a spreadsheet before every payroll cutoff, and one wrong cell changes someone's pay.

How Staffic keeps your daily time record.
For BPOs, VA agencies and companies with remote staff in the Philippines.
Step 1 of 4
Time in starts with the desktop timer
Each member installs the desktop app on Windows, macOS or Linux and starts the timer on a project and task. Tracking stops after 5 minutes without keyboard or mouse input, so idle stretches and breaks with the timer off stay out of the hours worked.
Fixes: Filled in at the end of the month
Step 2 of 4
A DTR line for every day
Clock In/Out shows each member's time in, time out and hours worked for every day in the range. Days follow the organization's time zone and each session counts on the day it started, so work that runs past midnight stays on one line.
Fixes: Work hours that cross midnight
Step 3 of 4
Approve the hours, add what was missed
With Timesheet Approval on, each finished day waits on the Awaiting tab, where an admin approves or rejects it for one member or the whole team. Forgotten time goes in as manual time with a reason, and the Manual Time report lists every change.
Fixes: Checking every line before signing
Step 4 of 4
Export the cutoff for payroll
Pick the cutoff dates and export Clock In/Out to PDF or Excel with the date, member, clock in, clock out and time worked. On Elite, Payroll turns the hours into pay at each member's rate.
Fixes: Retyping the DTR every cutoff

FAQ
Daily time record, answered.
For HR teams, supervisors and remote staff who keep a DTR.
Explore the live demoWhat is a daily time record (DTR)?
A daily time record, or DTR, is a day by day record of an employee's time in, time out and hours worked, usually signed by the employee and their supervisor for each pay period. Teams in the Philippines use it to check attendance and to compute pay.
Can I keep a DTR online?
Yes. In Staffic, the desktop timer records when each member starts and stops work, and Clock In/Out shows their time in, time out and hours worked for every day. You can view any date range and export it to PDF or Excel.
How does Staffic count breaks on the DTR?
Time with the timer off isn't counted, and tracking stops after 5 minutes with no keyboard or mouse input. A lunch break taken with the timer off shows as a gap between time in and time out and is left out of the hours worked.
Can employees change their DTR?
Not the tracked times. Missing time is added as manual time with a reason, by admins or by members when the admin allows it, and the Manual Time report lists every addition and deletion. With Timesheet Approval on, an admin approves or rejects each day.
Does it work for staff who work for clients in other time zones?
Yes. Days follow your organization's time zone, and a session counts on the day it started, so work that begins in the evening and ends after midnight stays on one day. Timesheets can also show hours in each member's own time zone.
Is there a free DTR app?
Yes. Staffic's Free plan covers up to 3 members with the same features as Standard, including Clock In/Out, timesheet approval and PDF and Excel exports. Teams of more than 3 move to Standard or Elite.
How much does Staffic cost?
Staffic is free for up to 3 members. Standard is $7.50 per user per month billed yearly, or $9.50 monthly, and Elite, which adds clients, invoices, payroll, screen recordings and Live Screening, is $10.00 billed yearly.
