Time recorded once, costed everywhere.

Timesheets records the hours your resources spend against departments, jobs and entry types on a weekly grid. Approve each row and it feeds job costing and, where configured, payroll — without re-keying a single figure.

  • A weekly grid in quarter-hour increments
  • Resources cover people, machines, vehicles and rooms
  • Approved rows feed job costing and payroll

The problem

When hours never reach the job.

If time is captured on paper or a spreadsheet, it rarely lines up with the jobs and departments the business reports on.

Hours recorded away from the job

Time is logged on a spreadsheet that no one connects back to a job or department, so cost against work stays a guess.

Re-keyed into payroll and costing

The same hours are typed twice — once for the job cost, once for payroll — which is slow and a soft spot for errors.

No sign-off before the feed

Nobody approves the week before it flows on, so corrections land after payroll has run and after the job has been costed.

Chasing the ones who never file

A week cannot be totalled until everyone has submitted, so payroll and job costs wait on the stragglers while someone spends the deadline sending reminders.

Overview

One grid, from hours to cost.

Record the week, approve it, and let the figures flow.

Frequently asked

Timesheets questions.

What can be recorded as a resource?

Resources are typically people, but the model is generic and also covers machines, vehicles and rooms. Each resource carries a rate type — hourly or daily — and a rate, and time is recorded against departments, jobs or entry types.

How is time entered?

On a weekly grid running Monday to Sunday, with hours in quarter-hour increments. Column footers show the daily totals and a weekly-total row sums the week. Per-row actions add, remove, re-open, complete and approve each row.

What does approval do?

Approving a row signs it off for the payroll and job-cost feed. Rate times hours becomes cost in Job Costing, hours pass to payroll where configured, and the entries post to the Nominal Ledger.

Can it produce evidence for client billing?

Yes. The Timesheets dashboard charts hours by department, resource group and job, and there are nine report variants — Summary, Daily and Weekly, each in Standard, Client and Job families — so billing teams can produce timesheet evidence for client invoicing.
