The Hourly tracking module in Boond allows you to declare your actual working hours and break times each day for your manager.
This article is intended only for employees whose employer has enabled hourly tracking.
All Boond plans are concerned.
Prerequisites
To use the Hourly tracking module, the following conditions must be met:
your employer has enabled hourly tracking for your Agency
your contract in Boond is concerned by hourly tracking
you are using Boond from a web browser: the module is not yet available on the Boond mobile app.
1 - Go to your hourly tracking
To access your hourly tracking, there are two possible paths:
From the dedicated module: click directly on the section “My hourly tracking”
From your user profile: click on your "First name Last name" at the top right of the screen, then click on “My hourly tracking”
You will then arrive at the list of your monthly hourly tracking entries.
2 - Set up your standard week
When you use hourly tracking for the first time, you must set up your standard work week by defining your usual working hours.
The standard week allows you to pre-fill your hourly tracking: the Fill the entire month button applies your standard week schedule to all remaining empty days of the month.
⚙️ Good to know
Your Boond administrator may have set up a default standard week. If the proposed hours do not match your situation, you can edit your standard week.
3 - Fill in your hours each day
To fill in your hours in the hourly tracking, open the current month’s tracking, then complete each worked day.
Enter your hours, breaks, and comments
Enter your start and end times for each morning and afternoon
e.g. 09:00 - 12:00 / 13:00 - 17:00
Fill in your different break times of the day by indicating the start and end time of your breaks
Add a comment if you want to give your manager a specific detail about a particular day
Click Save at the top right to save your entry
🗓️ Good to know
You cannot pre-fill tracking for future days. The purpose of this feature is to collect your actual working hours, so only past days or the current date can be completed.
Managing break times
In Hourly tracking, break times are calculated in two different ways:
Lunch break is automatically calculated by Boond: it is the interval between the end of the morning and the start of the afternoon. It is deducted from your daily and weekly working time.
Breaks you enter manually are included in your daily and weekly working time
Example: you work from 09:00 to 12:00, then from 13:00 to 17:00, and you enter a break from 10:30 to 10:45.
Morning: 09:00 - 12:00 = 3 hours.
Afternoon: 13:00 - 17:00 = 4 hours.
Lunch break from 12:00 to 13:00 = 1 hour, deducted: it is not counted in working time.
Break entered from 10:30 to 10:45 = 15 minutes, included: it is still counted in working time.
Working time for the day = 3 hours + 4 hours = 7 hours, including 15 minutes of break.
The total break time is displayed for information for each week of the month.
Absences and public holidays
In Hourly tracking, public holidays from your calendar are integrated automatically: you do not have to enter hours for a public holiday.
Similarly, absences you have created from the My absences module are also integrated into your Hourly tracking: you do not have to enter hours for an absence day.
🚨 Good to know
If your employer asks you to fill in your hourly tracking, you must complete them monthly, otherwise you will be blocked from entering your activity via timesheets.
An automatic block is set up on your timesheets if the hourly tracking for the previous month has not been correctly completed and validated by you.
4 - Submit your hourly tracking for validation
Once all your hours for the month have been entered:
Make sure all your weeks are complete according to your worked days.
Click the “Validate” button at the top right of the screen. Your hourly tracking will then follow the validation workflow provided for this purpose.
⚙️ Good to know
Like all your other items in Boond (time, expenses, absences), once your tracking is validated by the next approver, you will no longer be able to modify your hours.
If you need to make a change, you will have to notify your manager so they can unvalidate your entry.
🚨 Good to know
Hourly tracking is not yet available on the mobile app. For now, you must complete and validate your monthly hourly tracking from the browser version.
FAQ
My monthly tracking is completely empty, what should I do?
Your hourly tracking only appears if the module has been set up for your interface AND if your contract is covered by this feature.
Contact your manager so they can check:
your contract in Boond
the configuration of hourly tracking in the Administration > Legal Agencies > your agency > Activities & Expenses > Hourly tracking console
An error message on my timesheet says my tracking is not completed, what should I do?
This error message appears on your timesheet when the hourly tracking for the previous month is not completed and validated.
If your employer asks you to fill in your hourly tracking, your timesheet entry is blocked until this tracking is finalized.
Open the hourly tracking for the previous month, complete the missing days, then click Validate. The block on your timesheet will then disappear.
Can I fill in my hourly tracking from my Boond mobile app?
Unfortunately no, this module is not yet available on the mobile app.
You must therefore complete and validate your hourly tracking from your web browser.
I can’t enter my hours for days after today’s date, is this normal?
Yes, it is normal not to be able to enter your hours for days after today’s date. Hourly tracking is used to collect your actual working hours: only past days and the current date can be completed.
I can no longer find my tracking in my timesheet, what should I do?
This is normal, since October 13, 2026, absence tracking is now completely separated from timesheets.
Your tracking is accessible from the "My tracking" module
How do I edit an hourly tracking entry I’ve already validated?
To edit an hourly tracking entry you’ve already validated, ask your manager to unvalidate it. You can then correct your hours and validate your hourly tracking again.
