Ewidencja Czasu Pracy (Working Time Records)
Ewidencja czasu pracy is Polish for "working time records" - the ongoing log of hours worked by each employee over a period, kept so that hours can be reviewed, approved, and used for payroll or client billing later. It is the record itself, distinct from rejestracja czasu pracy, which refers to the system or process used to produce that record.
Put simply: rejestracja czasu pracy is how you register the time; ewidencja czasu pracy is the resulting record you keep.
What a Working Time Record Typically Contains
- Hours worked per day or period - captured through a timer, manual entry, or an attendance device.
- Project or client breakdown - which work the hours belong to, for teams that bill by project.
- Approval status - whether a manager has reviewed and signed off on the period.
- A closed, unchangeable state - once a period is reviewed, the record typically stops changing.
Why the Record Matters More Than the Method
Buyers searching for "ewidencja czasu pracy" software are usually less concerned with how hours get captured and more concerned with what the record looks like afterward: is it complete, is it approved, can it be trusted for payroll or an invoice. A timesheet is the most common form this record takes in project-based work.
Where Sandtime.io Fits
Sandtime.io produces a working time record through self-reported timesheets: people log their own hours, managers approve them, and approved periods lock automatically so the record stops changing. Automatic timesheet reminders make sure the record gets completed without a manager having to chase it down manually.
Sandtime.io does not include a physical attendance or punch-clock module, and makes no claim of certified compliance with Polish labor-law record-keeping requirements. See rejestracja czasu pracy for the broader terminology and claim boundaries.
