Time Cards in Raken let supervisors and admins record hours for individual employees or entire crews — from the field or the office. Whether you're entering a simple 8-hour day, splitting time across multiple cost codes, or managing a crew of 20, Raken's time card tools keep payroll data accurate, organized, and ready to export.

To create a time card in Raken:

Log into the Raken web app. Click Time in the left navigation, then click Entries.

Alternatively, create from a project: click Projects, select your project, click Daily Logs, then click Time Cards. Use this path for individual time entry as part of a project's daily report.

Click the orange + Time card button. The form opens with fields for: Project, Crew (optional), Employee, Date, Start time, End time, Total, Add break, Cost code.

Select the Project. To create a time card for an entire crew at once, select a Crew — all crew members get the same hours and cost code. For individual employees, leave Crew blank and select one or more Employees.

Tip: If crew members worked different hours or cost codes, save the group entry first and edit individually after.

The Date pre-fills to today — change it if needed. Enter Start time and End time. Total hours calculates automatically.

Click Add break +. Enter duration or start/end time depending on your Time Policy settings.

Select the Cost code. If none applies, leave as Default. Click Equipment to assign equipment if used.

Click the ellipsis (...) next to the Cost code field to access: Add pay type · Add shift · Add classification · Add per diem · Add payroll note.

Click the orange Save button. The time card appears in Time > Entries and under the employee or crew in Daily Logs.

Navigate to Time > Entries. Click directly on the time card, or click the ellipsis (...) and select Edit. Update and click Save.

Open the crew time card from Time > Entries. Click Bulk Edit, make changes, and click Save. Changes apply to all crew members.

Open or create a time card. Click + Split. The Split hours modal opens.

Set Start time and Cost code for each entry. Click + Add split to add more entries. Set the shared End time at the bottom.

Click Save. Split entries appear as separate line items.

The Time tab currently requires a crew selection. For individual time entry on mobile, use Project Tools > Daily Logs > Time Cards. Offline entry is also only supported via this path.

Tap the + button in the top right.

Select the Project. Select a Crew for group entry, or leave blank and select individual employees.

Select the Date. Tap Start time or End time. Total hours calculates automatically. The mobile form starts blank — no defaults are pre-filled.

Tap Break time and enter details per your Time Policy settings.

Tap Cost code. If none applies, leave as Default. Tap Equipment to assign equipment if used.

Tap the ellipsis (...) at the top right for: Split · Pay type · Classification · Shift · Payroll note.

Tap the checkmark ✓ in the top right.

Tap Time in the bottom nav. Open the crew time card from Entries. Tap Bulk edit. Make changes and tap Save. To update one member independently, tap ellipsis (...) next to their name and select Edit.

Open or create a time card. Tap + Split. Enter Start time, Split time, and End time. Select the Cost code for each portion. Tap ✓ to save.

Work Logs track manpower and activity by company — best for GCs tracking subcontractor headcount. Time Cards track individual employee hours for payroll. Use Time Cards when you need payroll-ready records per employee.

This is intentional — surfacing unique values for every crew member during creation would make the form unmanageable. Edit individually after saving if specific cost codes are needed.

They're in the ellipsis (...) menu on the time card form. On web: next to the cost code field. On mobile: top right of the form.

Yes — on mobile via Daily Logs > Time Cards. Entries sync when connection is restored.
