# Reporting of time

Last modified February 19, 2026

> Visma Net provides time reporting capabilities that you can use in the following instances:


+ You want to track the time employees spend on individual activities to facilitate the calculation of costs and prices for particular projects and customer services.

  Employees
  can use time activities or activities for which employees must report the time
  that they have spent on them.
  To enable time activities in the system, you need to
  enable the **Time reporting on activity** functionality.
+ You want to track the time employees spend on various activities each week in order to facilitate payroll calculations.

  For each employee whose time should be reported, you
  need to select the **Time card is required** check box in the [Employees (EP203000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/organisation-structure/organisation-structure-windows/employees-ep203000/index.md) window.
  A time card is a weekly report on the
  time spent by the employee on activities.
  If the **Time reporting on activity**
  functionality is enabled for your company, you can report working hours by using time cards in
  combination with time activities.
  For more information, see: [About time cards](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/time-and-expenses/reporting-of-time/about-time-cards/index.md)
