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.

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, and Equipment.

Select the Project. To create a time card for an entire crew at once, select a Crew. For individual employees, leave Crew blank and select one or more Employees.

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 a piece of equipment to the time card. Once equipment is selected, a Cost code field also appears within the equipment drawer so you can assign a cost code specifically to that equipment usage — separate from the time card's primary cost code.

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

Pay types automatically allocated by your overtime rules now show an Override overtime rule option and can be selected before saving — no need to save first and edit after.

Click the orange Save button.

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.

The web split modal supports two input modes — By start time (default) or By hours. Both columns are always visible. The mode locks implicitly with your first input — whichever column you type into first locks all rows to that mode. The inactive column becomes read-only and shows derived values. Entry 1 (the start anchor) is always read-only.

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

By start time — enter the start time for each split entry. Hours are derived automatically.

By hours — enter the hours for each split entry. Start times are derived automatically. Type into the Hours column first to lock into this mode.

Remaining hours update in real time as you add splits. You cannot allocate more hours than the time card total.

Select the Cost code for each split entry. Click + Add split to add more. Click Save. Split entries appear as separate line items.

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.

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

Tap Cost code. Tap Equipment to assign a piece of equipment to the time card. Once selected, an Equipment cost code field appears within the equipment picker so you can assign a cost code specifically to that equipment — separate from the time card's primary cost code.

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

Pay types automatically allocated by your overtime rules can now be overridden before saving — tap Pay type, select the pay type, and confirm the Override overtime rule warning. No need to save first and edit after.

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 the ellipsis (...) at the top right and tap + Split. The form defaults to By time mode on first use — after that it opens in whichever mode you last used.

To switch modes: Tap the ellipsis (...) in the nav bar and select Split by hours (or Split by time to switch back). The mode locks once you enter a value on any split.

By time: Enter the split time for each entry. Hours are derived and shown read-only.

By hours: Enter the hours for each entry. Start times are derived and shown read-only.

Select the Cost code for each split. Tap ✓ to save.

Reordering splits (Android): Press and hold the drag handle on any split card to drag it to a new position. The cost code and hours travel with the card and start times recalculate automatically. You can also use Move up / Move down from the split card menu. The Start and End cards cannot be reordered. iOS support coming in a future update.

Note: Split by hours and drag-and-drop reorder are currently available on Android only. iOS support is coming in a future update.

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 both web and mobile. Pay types automatically allocated by your overtime rules previously had to be overridden after saving. Now you can select them at the point of entry. The Override overtime rule warning will appear to confirm your intent. Note: My Time on web does not support pay type overrides.

Yes — on web and on Android mobile. Open the split modal and type into the Hours column first (web) or select Split by hours from the ellipsis menu (mobile). The mode locks once you enter a value. iOS mobile support is coming in a future update.

Yes. When you assign equipment via the Equipment field, an Equipment cost code picker appears inside the equipment drawer — separate from the time card's primary cost code. Available on both web and mobile.

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