German term

(Arbeits-)Zeiterfassung

German to English Bus/Financial Human Resources HR
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?

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): philgoddard, Thayenga

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

time recording system

...or, in this case, 'mobile time recording system'.

Of the options you listed, I think 'recording' would fit best in this context.

'time tracking system' is another option.

Mobile time logging system

I prefer logging to recording. Google also likes 'time log'. Have a look there.
