useful time measurement system

Explanation:
There might be some better expression in English, but I cannot remember: it comes from the Japanese management methods and it means that the time spent with the different daily tasks (such as making phone calls, attending meetings, writing reports etc.) are measured to find out what takes up most of the working time of a particular individual (and is there somebody else - an assistant - who could do it instead / better etc.)

1 hr confidence:

time recording system

Explanation:
I have just translated a project management tool for a software company. This tool included all necessary functions for project management and administration. The component for time and account management interfaced with the commonly used "time recording systems", which track the employee working hours.

HTH and good luck with your translation,
Patricia
