Time tracking for the WBSO at ClockWise
As a company, do you want to qualify for the WBSO? Then it is important that you can store the time you spend on R&D activities in a secure way, so you can show that you meet the criteria of the scheme. That is why it is important that hours worked are recorded properly. That way, as a company, you can show that you are entitled to the tax benefits of the WBSO scheme.
ClockWise helps you map out your R&D hours
To be able to meet the regulations around the WBSO, ClockWise offers the option to separate and report your R&D hours easily, apart from your other hours. That way you can apply for your subsidy without any worries. With just one click you select your WBSO or R&D hours. As an employee you record your hours on your project and submit them. As a manager you approve the hours. Are you the one who has to report R&D hours? No need to worry. Within ClockWise you can split and filter hours in the reports, so you can easily view and submit the WBSO hours per employee, per year.
What is the WBSO?
As well as accurate time tracking per project and per employee, we also integrate project management into our time tracking system. For you as an R&D organisation, that means your company can not only record the hours worked clearly, but also manage projects effectively. You can budget hours on projects and set deadlines. It is also possible to use hourly rates to look at the costs of the project, all from one platform. With ClockWise, environments can be set up down to the smallest detail, exactly as you want and need.
Time tracking per project, per employee
WBSO stands for Wet Bevordering Speur- en Ontwikkelingswerk, the Dutch scheme for promoting research and development work. It is a tax scheme in the Netherlands that encourages companies to invest in research and development (R&D). By making use of the WBSO, companies can get a reduction in payroll tax for the hours their employees spend on research and development work. To qualify for the WBSO and the tax benefits that come with it, companies have to document their R&D activities and show that they meet the criteria of the scheme. We at ClockWise are happy to lend you a hand with that.
With ClockWise you can record hours worldwide and see how much time projects take
Are you working at different locations as an employee, or are you working with organisations from several countries on a project? Within ClockWise you can very easily see how many hours have been worked on a project per country. When you keep track of your hours per project with ClockWise, you can always see clearly how much time has been recorded per project. That helps you learn to budget your projects, for future projects too.
A search for the right time tracking solution eventually brought EDSN back to ClockWise.

Am I required to keep a record of hours worked?
Yes. As an employer in the Netherlands you are required to record the hours your employees work. That is laid down in the Working Hours Act. The law is simply there to make sure people do not work too much and get enough rest. How exactly you keep those records is up to you, as long as your registration is clear and reliable. Discover here how ClockWise can help you keep a clear and correct record of hours.

No, switching to ClockWise is simple. The system is easy to use and quick to understand, so you can get started without long or expensive implementation projects. We guide you through the setup where needed, so you can switch quickly and smoothly and work efficiently right away.
