A GPS time clock records a location alongside each clock-in and clock-out, so a timesheet carries where the work started as well as when. It answers the attendance question for field crews that a desk time clock cannot. It does not provide continuous proof of presence: the accuracy figures in circulation measure the satellite signal rather than a phone, and a geofence confirms position at the moment of a fix rather than detecting the moment someone leaves. > This is not legal advice.

How to securely scale AI agents from individual to org-wide use without introducing unnecessary complexity.

Software teams and business teams both run sprints, but they need very different tools to do it well. Use the shortlist below to find the best agile project management software for your side of the house.

This comparison is written by Asana, and Asana AI Teammates are assessed against the same criteria as every other tool. Your ops lead wants an AI agent that can triage incoming requests, but your marketing team needs a tool that can draft a campaign brief from a single prompt. Your IT, HR, engineering, and project management office (PMO) teams all need agents that assist or autonomously complete tasks, too.

The Defense Contract Audit Agency issues no timekeeping regulation. The requirements come from the contract: DFARS 252.242-7006(c)(9) and (c)(10) require a timekeeping system that identifies labor by cost objective and a labor distribution system that charges direct and indirect labor correctly. Everything else called a “DCAA requirement” is audit practice derived from those two criteria and from the FAR cost principles.

An employee monitoring policy is a written document that tells employees what the employer monitors, why, where, how long the data is kept and who can see it. Four states — New York, Delaware, Connecticut and Maine — require notice before monitoring begins, each by a different mechanism, and two of those four laws changed during 2026. The template below is free to copy in three formats, and the sections marked with brackets are the ones you replace.

A “black hole” request is a ticket that gets escalated to engineering and then disappears. The agent can’t see progress, the developer can’t see the customer, and nobody tells the requester when it’s fixed. It usually happens because support and engineering live in two tools joined by copy-paste.

Agency time tracking exists to answer one question: did the fee cover the work. A $12,000 monthly retainer at a $120 target rate funds 100 hours. Deliver 128 and the effective rate drops to $93.75, with 28 hours of over-servicing worth $3,360. Hours by client, by role and by activity are what turn a retainer into a margin number.

Law firms bill time in tenths of an hour: six minutes is 0.1. Each entry carries a matter number, a timekeeper, the time, and a description of the work. Firms acting for corporate clients and insurers add UTBMS task codes and submit invoices in the LEDES format. The ABA Model Rules require the fee to be reasonable and the basis for it to be communicated to the client — and say nothing at all about rounding, which is where most of the trouble starts.

Dave Baker and Florian Duros (Element) at The Matrix Conference 2026. Element Web is moving onto the Matrix Rust SDK, the same foundation that powers Element X on mobile. Our team isn't doing it as one big rewrite. They're rebuilding the app one piece at a time as reusable shared components that don't care which SDK sits underneath.
