Overview of My Work

Some features are not yet available to all customers. To participate in Tempo's Early Access Program and gain access to this feature, visit our TempoLab page.

My Work is your home base in Tempo Timesheets. This is where you log and plan your time and get an overview of your timesheet progress or plans for what's coming up.

You can also integrate your Google and Office 365 calendars with My Work so that you can use the Activity Feed to easily track time against meetings or other events you have scheduled.

In My Work, you see the progress of tracked time against planned time for each day. At the end of the day, you can effortlessly log any remaining time planned for on your agenda.

At the end of each reporting period, you can then submit your timesheet for review from My Work.
