How to Track Time for Remote Teams: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step-by-Step: How to Track Time Effectively

  1. Choose the Right Tool

Look for a simple, cloud-based time tracker that works across devices. Nureti is built for remote teams with intuitive tracking and zero setup.

  1. Set Clear Expectations

Let your team know what should be tracked — client hours, internal meetings, breaks, etc. Consistency is key.

  1. Track by Task or Project

Segment time entries by project or type of work. This helps with reporting and client transparency.

  1. Review and Analyze

Use tools like Nureti’s My Team dashboard to get a full overview: see who has logged hours, who forgot, and whether your team is compliant with the EU Work Time Directive.
