# Time Tracking Module

> Time Tracking Module and how it can streamline your pre-payroll processing.

In this article, we'll cover the Time Tracking Module and how it can streamline your pre-payroll processing. You can access the Time Tracking Module by selecting it from the blue bar on the left side of your screen. Owner-level accounts and admins with modification permissions can control access to the Time Tracking Module by adjusting admin permissions. For more details, see the **[Owner/Admin Powers](https://support.roostedhr.com/en/articles/9491890-giving-admin-and-owner-permissions)**. On the main Time Tracking page, select a date by clicking the calendar icon. This will encompass the entire payroll period according to your company's settings.

Once you have selected the date or payroll period, you can view the time punches for that period by selecting the worker from the dropdown menu.
