01 / Submit
Employees submit their hours at the close of the period.
- Weekly, biweekly, or whatever cycle the team runs on
- Entries move to a pending state automatically
- Nothing reaches payroll or billing before this step
TIMESHEET SOFTWARE FOR TEAMS THAT BILL AND PAY ON HOURS
TrackingTime gives agencies approval-ready timesheets built automatically from tracked hours before payroll or billing runs.
submit · review · approve · lock
A manager or admin approves submitted hours, which locks them for payroll or billing. A formal cycle that turns tracked hours into validated, locked data, ready for payroll or billing.
dashboard · project · user
Dashboard, project, and user reports, each reading the same hours differently.
audits · exports · custom fields
Time audits catch what’s wrong before anyone approves it. From there, export to CSV, PDF, or Excel, or filter with custom fields built around your workflow.
Time audits flag entries with no project, missing details, odd durations, or overlaps, so a manager fixes them in minutes.
Export to CSV, PDF, or Excel, whatever the billing system or payroll process on the other end needs.
Add fields like service type, project phase, or ticket number. They show up as columns, filterable like any other.
how it fits your workflow
Fit, setup, approvals, data quality, and compliance.
Excel works fine for a few people and a handful of clients. Once the team or the client list grows, pulling everything together by hand turns into hours of work every month. TrackingTime builds the timesheet automatically, the same result in seconds.
Email works for small teams with low volume. As it scales, there’s no clear status, no traceable history, and errors surface once payroll or billing is already being processed. Approvals give every hour a state, a correction cycle, and a lock, without depending on email.
The lock only applies once hours are approved, not before. Submit, review, correct, and resubmit all happen before the lock. If a real correction is needed afterward, an admin can unlock it.
Reminders go out automatically. A Block Hours policy can also be set to close the period automatically after a set window, whether or not the manager acted.
Time audits automatically catch incomplete entries, overlaps, or suspicious durations before the period closes. A manager resolves it in minutes. Once approved, the lock prevents any changes after that.
Yes. TrackingTime generates auditable records with full traceability, who logged it, when, and what. For teams under European compliance requirements, period locks and formal exports cover the documentation needed.
With Shared Reports: a public link with the month’s hours, always up to date. The client accesses it without an account, and it can be set to show only billable hours and expire at the end of the month.
Pro covers the full financial control cycle: approvals, lock, retainers, and expense tracking. It’s the plan for organizations that need their hours to be reliable for billing, payroll, and compliance.
