Manual Timesheets Are Inaccurate, Late, and Nobody Likes Them
Automate the entire process from time capture to payroll export.
Without automatic timesheets
- Employees fill in timesheets from memory days later — hours are rounded or guessed
- Managers spend hours chasing people for overdue timesheet submissions
- No activity context to verify whether reported hours are accurate
- Payroll is delayed because timesheets are not approved on time
With HiveDesk timesheets
- Timesheets are generated from actual tracked hours — no manual entry
- Managers review and approve from the dashboard in one click
- Screenshots and activity data back every hour for verification
- Export approved timesheets as PDF or Excel instantly for payroll
From Tracked Hours to Payroll-Ready Data
Automatic timesheets with everything managers and payroll teams need.
Auto-Generated Timesheets
Timesheets are created from actual tracked hours — no manual entry. As employees work, hours are recorded by project, task, and date. Timesheets are ready for review at the end of each period.
One-Click Approval
Managers review timesheets with activity data and screenshots for context. Approve in one click or request corrections. No back-and-forth emails — everything happens in the dashboard.
Project & Task Breakdown
See exactly how hours are distributed across projects and tasks. Add hourly rates to calculate labor costs per project or client. Know where time is going before invoicing.
Overtime in Timesheets
Daily and weekly overtime hours are tracked and included in timesheets automatically. Overtime is visible before payroll, not after — helping you manage costs proactively.
Activity-Backed Hours
Every timesheet hour is backed by activity data — keyboard/mouse levels and periodic screenshots. Managers have full context when reviewing, and clients get verifiable proof of work.
PDF & Excel Export
Export approved timesheets as PDF or Excel. Filter by date range, team, project, or individual. Clean data formatted for payroll processing or client invoicing.
