Weekly grid time tracking with timer, favourites, a monthly view and a lightweight approval workflow – fully integrated into Redmine.
New in 1.6 Export for contractor portals: an approved week becomes a file that MyTime by Hays imports directly – read more.
Redmine is a free, open-source project management tool – projects, issues, wiki, time entries – developed since 2006 and used by tens of thousands of companies. It runs on your own server, with no fee per user. Time Tracking is a plugin for it: you get tasks and hours in one place, not just a stopwatch.
A fit for teams that want projects and hours together. Not a fit for anyone who only wants a stopwatch without projects, or does not want to run a server.
Contractors placed through a staffing agency type their hours into the agency's portal a second time at month end. Version 1.6 removes that step: a submitted or approved period is exported as a file that MyTime by Hays imports as it is – no column mapping, no rework.
Column names, date and hour formats were checked against MyTime's own import. MyTime reads the file exactly as written, right through to the client's approval.
Which portal a project reports to is set in its settings. The export appears only there; every other project is untouched.
Only submitted or approved periods are exported, so the portal receives exactly what the team signed off.
More portals will follow as soon as their import has been verified. Manual, section 5.10
Enter hours straight into the grid; an entry on the wrong day is fixed in seconds. No clicking through forms.
Start and stop on the current issue. The time lands in the weekly grid automatically – nothing gets lost.
Mark frequently booked issues as favourites and roll a whole week forward as the template for the next.
A monthly view alongside the weekly grid – for leave planning, year-at-a-glance and reporting.
Staff submit their weeks, managers approve or reject them – and a period can be reopened later if needed.
Move entries between days or issues without opening a dialog. Quick corrections, no friction.
Approved periods as a file for contractor portals – MyTime by Hays imports it without any column mapping.

# restart RedmineGive your roles the View own timesheet and Approve timesheets permissions, pick a default activity in the plugin settings – done.
Redmine itself is GPLv2 – every plugin that loads into Redmine at runtime must be as well. You get the full source, no activation servers and no hidden telemetry.
The price buys verified releases, twelve months of updates and direct support from the development team – not access to the code.
