German term or phrase: (Arbeits-)Zeiterfassung
Ein Unternehmen bietet mobile Zeiterfassungssysteme an: mit dem Handy schickt der Arbeiter jeweils eine SMS an die Zentrale wenn er beim Kunden ankommt und wenn er wieder geht. Für Zeiterfassung und Arbeitszeiterfassung fand ich mehrere Begriffe (auch auf proz): time recording, time registration, timekeeping, time input info.
Sind das Synonyme, oder gibt es einen Unerschied? Welcher Begriff ist gebräuchlicher bzw. am ehesten passend?
