Accurate reporting of hours worked is essential for meeting OSHA requirements and calculating core safety metrics such as:
DART (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred)
TRIR (Total Recordable Incident Rate)
LTIFR (Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate)
These indicators rely on actual hours worked across each establishment, so it's important to keep this data current and correct.
How to Enter Hours Worked
Most organizations using Serenity perform a monthly update to enter hours worked for each site. Follow the steps below to enter this data manually:
Navigate to the Establishments Center
From the left-hand application navigator, click the Establishments icon.
Click “New Time Cards”
This will open a modal window (see screenshot below) where you can input hours across multiple sites in a single batch.Enter Time Card Details
For each row:Establishment: Select the site you're reporting for.
Date: Set to the last day of the month for which you're entering hours.
Hours: Input the total hours worked for that site during the month.
Employee Type: Choose from the dropdown. The default is Employee
Employee Types Explained
By default, the system assumes time entries are for direct employees. However, many organizations track hours for other worker types to reflect total workforce exposure:
Employee (default)
Contractor
Consultant
(Custom values may also be supported per your configuration.)
Accurate categorization ensures KPI formulas are calculated correctly and OSHA reporting reflects the true operational workforce.
✅ Best Practices
Set a monthly reminder to enter time cards within the first week of each new month.
Double-check values for high-activity sites or those with a high number of safety incidents.
Work with Serenity’s professional services team if you'd like to automate this data collection via integration with your timekeeping system (available via SOW).
Integration with Timekeeping & Payroll Systems
To streamline the process and reduce manual entry, Serenity supports direct integration with your organization’s timekeeping or payroll systems. This ensures that hours worked are automatically and consistently captured—improving data accuracy and reducing administrative overhead.
🔧 How It Works
As part of a scoped implementation:
Serenity can ingest hours worked via secure API, flat file upload, or data warehouse sync.
Hours can be mapped by establishment, employee type, and reporting date.
Data is ingested on a recurring schedule (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly)
🧾 Getting Started
To explore integration options, speak with your Serenity sales representative to initiate a statement of work (SOW). Our services team will help define scope, requirements, and technical specifications.
