Can employees work from home with manager approval?

Yes. WFH is a request type in the same Requests queue as leave, and employees add a reason. Approvers see the dates, the reason, and how many WFH days remain after approval when the leave module is on and a WFH allowance is set.

Does Trakkar show office vs home attendance?

Yes. The attendance board shows whether someone checked in from the office or home, with worked hours and break totals for the day.

How is Trakkar different from Hubstaff or Time Doctor?

Trakkar includes time tracking with optional screenshot monitoring, plus Indian leave, GST invoicing, and a client portal, at ₹120/user/month. For a pricing and feature comparison, see our Hubstaff and Time Doctor alternative pages.

Can I export attendance for payroll?

Trakkar gives you attendance and work summary reports for payroll reconciliation. Export options depend on your payroll provider; for most Indian payroll tools, use the CSV export from reports.

Trying to track remote employees falls apart when attendance lives in one app, project time in another, and approvals in email. Indian agencies also need WFH requests, shift policies, and INR payroll exports without buying Hubstaff, a separate HR tool, and an invoicing product. Trakkar combines live attendance, optional screenshot monitoring, and billable time on the same platform your finance team already uses for GST invoices.

Step by step

How it works in Trakkar

A practical workflow your team can run every billing cycle.

Publish shift and WFH policies — Set shift start times, grace minutes, and whether WFH needs manager approval. Employees see the policy on their attendance screen before they clock in.
Have remote staff clock in from desktop or web — Check-in records office or home, start time, and late minutes after grace. Managers see a live board of their team: who's in, on break, or not started yet.
Enable optional screenshots and app usage — Turn on capture policies per team; nothing is mandatory by default. Employees can see what's recorded, and clients never get access unless you enable portal visibility.
Route WFH, leave, and corrections through Requests — WFH for a single day, casual leave, and time corrections sit in one approval queue with reasons visible to HR and managers only.
Review utilization and activity reports — Use hours and activity reports to spot idle gaps or overloaded members. Billable project time stays tied to the same sessions attendance already validated.
