How do I check the compliance status in TimeTac?
Spot compliance warnings and violations right from the dashboard
This article is for: Standard user, Manager, Project manager, Admin, Account owner
This feature is available in: Web app, Desktop app
TimeTac flags compliance issues in two dashboard widgets and in the full Compliance report under Reports > Compliance. This article explains what the two widgets show on the dashboard and how you can edit entries.
See compliance at a glance on your dashboard
Two widgets on your dashboard summarize compliance for the users you manage. The Compliance overview shows a horizontal bar chart with the number of users whose time data is compliant, and users whose time data shows violations or warnings. The Compliance violations widget shows counts for this week and last week and links straight to the filtered report.
Info: Only users with a management role see the Compliance overview. Everyone sees their own Compliance violations count, regardless of permissions.
Understand the difference between warnings and violations
TimeTac distinguishes between two types of issues. A violation means someone exceeded the maximum working hours or didn't meet the core hours set in their work schedule. A warning means the system found a plausibility conflict — a working day with no tracked time or absence.
Info: This feature shows the same rules already used in the calendar and Timesheet report. You set the maximum working hours and core hours for a work schedule under Company > Work schedule. Learn more: How do I set working hour limits?
