Why time tracking matters for SR&ED

The CRA requires contemporaneous records to support SR&ED claims. That means documentation created as work happens, not reconstructed months later. Automatic time tracking from your dev tools creates exactly those records. Every ticket completed, every meeting attended, every commit pushed is captured with a timestamp and a project attribution. Chrono organizes that data into the structured format CRA auditors expect, so your claim is defensible from day one without any extra effort from your team.

Common questions

Is the time tracking really free?

Yes. Chrono's automated time tracking is free forever for teams of any size. You get all integrations, pre-filled timesheets, AI categorization, reporting, and support at no cost. There's no time limit and no credit card required to start.

How accurate are the automatically generated timesheets?

Accuracy depends on how many integrations you connect. Teams that connect a project management tool, a calendar, and a communication tool typically see 85-95% of their working day captured automatically. The remaining gaps are easy to fill in manually when your team reviews their daily timesheet.

What happens if an engineer works on something not connected to Chrono?

Engineers can always add manual time entries to fill gaps. The goal isn't to eliminate manual entry entirely — it's to make manual entry the exception rather than the default. Most teams find they're only touching 10-20% of entries by hand.

How does Chrono handle different time zones?

Each user's time entries are recorded in their local time zone. When you view team reports, Chrono normalizes the data so you can compare activity across distributed teams accurately.

Can managers see their team's time data in real time?

Yes. Managers have a dashboard view that shows team-wide time data as it comes in. You can see individual timesheets, identify who hasn't submitted for the week, and view resource allocation across projects — all in real time.
