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 offers are concerned.
Attention, this new feature will only be available starting October 12, 2026.
Until then, hourly tracking must still be entered within a timesheet via the Hourly Tracking application.
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 covered 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 ways:
From the dedicated module: click directly on the “My hourly tracking” section
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 records.
2 - Set up your standard week
When you first use hourly tracking, 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 in the whole month button applies your standard week hours to all remaining empty days of the month.
⚙️ Note
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 - Enter your hours each day
To enter your hours in the hourly tracking, open the hourly tracking for the current month, then fill in each working 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
Enter your different break times for the day by indicating the start and end time of your breaks
Add a comment if you want to provide your manager with a note about a specific day
Click Save at the top right to save your entry
🗓️ Note
You cannot pre-enter tracking for future days. The purpose of this feature is to collect your actual working hours, only past days or the current date can be filled in.
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 remains 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 automatically integrated: 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.
🚨 Note
If your employer asks you to enter your hourly tracking, you must complete them monthly, otherwise you will be blocked from entering your activity via timesheets.
An automatic lock is applied to your timesheets if the hourly tracking for the previous month has not been properly completed and validated by you.
4 - Submit your hourly tracking for approval
Once all your hours for the month are entered:
Make sure all your weeks are complete according to your working 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.
⚙️ Note
Like all your other items in Boond (time, expenses, absences), once your tracking is validated by the next validator, 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 record.
🚨 Note
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 records only appear if the module has been configured 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 complete, 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 enter my hourly tracking from my Boond mobile app?
Unfortunately not, 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 today’s date can be filled in.
I can no longer find my tracking in my timesheet, what should I do?
This is normal, since October 1, 2026, absence tracking is now completely decoupled from timesheets.
Your tracking is accessible from the "My tracking" module
How do I edit an hourly tracking record I have already validated?
To edit an hourly tracking record you have already validated, ask your manager to unvalidate it. You can then correct your hours and validate your hourly tracking again.
