Timesheets That Build Themselves
Timesheets auto-generates from clock-in data, applies overtime and break rules, routes through multi-level approval, and exports to payroll — all in one app. Employees review instead of re-entering. Managers approve in bulk. Finance gets a clean file.
What Timesheets Helps You Do
Auto-Generate Timesheets
Daily and weekly timesheets build automatically from attendance punches. Employees review and submit — no manual entry of hours that the system already captured.
Calculate Overtime
Daily, weekly, and consecutive-day overtime rules apply automatically. Federal, state, and company-defined thresholds — each configured per location and role.
Route For Approval
Multi-level approval workflows route timesheets to direct managers, then department heads, then finance — with bulk approval for managers who oversee large teams.
Track Exceptions
Missing punches, unapproved overtime, and outlier hours surface as exceptions on the manager dashboard. Approve, adjust, or send back with a comment.
Export To Payroll
Approved timesheets export in the format each payroll system expects — ADP, Paychex, Gusto, Rippling — through Payroll Connect.
Audit Every Change
Every edit, approval, and adjustment is logged with the user, timestamp, and reason. Audit reports are one click away when payroll questions or compliance reviews come up.
From Punches To Payroll, Automated End-To-End
Auto-Generated, Not Hand-Entered
Timesheets generates the weekly sheet automatically from attendance punches — no hand-keyed hours. Employees review, adjust if needed, and submit. Less duplicate entry; fewer transcription errors.
- Built from attendance — every punch, break, and shift, already verified.
- Employee review — see daily totals, breaks, and overtime before submitting.
- Adjustments routed — request a missing-punch fix; the manager approves.
- Same record everywhere — payroll, shifts, and leave all read from one source.
Multi-Level Approval That Scales
A simple manager approval works for small teams. Larger organizations need multi-step routing — direct manager, then department head, then finance — with bulk approval so managers aren't stuck reviewing fifty timesheets one at a time. Both work out of the box.
- Configurable workflow — single-step or multi-step routing per business unit.
- Bulk approve — review all team timesheets in one screen, approve in one click.
- Exception flags — overtime, missed breaks, outlier hours highlighted.
- Send back with a note — return a timesheet to the employee for correction.
Timesheets In Practice
A practical scope check: what the app covers, which controls matter, and the workflows teams usually run first.
Core workflow
Auto-generate timesheets from attendance records each pay period with real-time sync of clock-in, clock-out, and break data.
Controls that matter
Approval Workflow includes Employee self-submission with in-app confirmation and Manager approval with approve, reject, and edit actions.
Scope and specs
Useful specs: Supported pay period types: Weekly, Biweekly, Semi-monthly, Monthly; Default pay period: Biweekly (admin-configurable); Overtime threshold: 40 hours per 7-day week.
Employee timesheet review
Employees view their auto-generated timesheet for the current pay period, verify hours from attendance records, flag missing punches, and submit for manager approval.
Manager timesheet approval
Managers review submitted timesheets on the team dashboard, check for discrepancies or missing entries, and approve or reject with comments for correction.
Regional approval workflow
When regional approval is enabled, timesheets first go to the location manager and then route to the regional manager for final sign-off before payroll processing.
Connected To The Rest Of MangoApps
Timesheets is the bridge between time captured and payroll paid. Every connection works native.
→ Time & Attendance
Every punch from mobile, kiosk, or web rolls into the daily timesheet automatically. Break tracking, overtime, and exceptions all read from the same source.
See Time & Attendance→ Shifts & Scheduling
Scheduled vs. actual comparison highlights coverage gaps and over-runs. Manager-approved adjustments flow into the timesheet without re-entry.
See Shifts & Scheduling→ Leave Management
Approved time off appears on the timesheet, deducts from accrual balances, and skips overtime calculation — no reconciliation between leave and time systems.
See Leave Management→ Worklog
Billable project hours captured in Worklog roll into timesheets so client billing and payroll stay synchronized.
See Worklog→ Payroll Connect
Approved timesheets export to ADP, Paychex, Gusto, Rippling, and other payroll systems — in the format each expects, on the schedule each requires.
See Payroll Connect→ Workspaces
Timesheet questions, adjustment requests, and approval notes happen in the team workspace — same place the rest of the conversation lives.
See WorkspacesREPLACES POINT TOOLS
One timesheet instead of three tools that don't agree on hours
Most companies stitch a time clock, a billable-hours tracker, and a payroll exporter together — and the three disagree by the end of every pay period. Timesheets builds itself from the punches, schedule, leave, and project work already in the platform.
Harvest
Time tracking for billable services teams
- Time tracking that also handles operational hours, overtime, and payroll — not just project billing
- One per-employee suite license covers time, schedule, leave, payroll handoff, and project billing
- Replaces a vendor with a feature inside the workforce platform you already run
Toggl Track Business
Time tracking for project teams
- HRIS-driven approvals route timesheets up the live reporting chain — not a parallel Toggl admin hierarchy
- One audit log and retention policy across project hours, payroll hours, and exception edits
- Frontline and field employees included by default — no Toggl seat economy for shift work
Replicon TimeBill
Enterprise time and project billing
- Per-employee suite license covers it inside the same bundle as schedule, comms, HR, and recognition
- One identity perimeter — no separate Replicon SSO, audit, or data-residency review
- Mobile-first timesheet review on the branded app employees already use for chat and pay
ClickTime
Workforce time tracking and project costing
- Project costing pulls from Worklog and Workspaces already running on the platform — not a CSV bridge
- Approved timesheets export to ADP, Paychex, Gusto, Rippling and more via Payroll Connect
- One sign-on for the entire workforce — not a ClickTime perimeter for managers and finance only
BigTime
Professional-services time and billing
- PSA workflow lives alongside HR, comms, and operations — not as a separate vendor that doesn't know about leave or shifts
- Same per-employee bundle that covers timesheets also covers performance, training, and recognition
- One audit log and retention policy across billable and payroll hours
PLATFORM LEVERAGE
Timesheets inherits everything else MangoApps already does
A standalone timesheet tool has to build, buy, or integrate each of these. Timesheets gets them for free because the platform already runs them.
Identity & SSO
SAML/OIDC SSO, MFA, and SCIM provisioning already cover every employee whose hours hit a timesheet. No separate timesheet identity to maintain.
HRIS-synced approvers
Approvals route up the live HRIS reporting chain — no parallel manager hierarchy to keep in sync for timesheet routing.
Punch & schedule source
Timesheets build automatically from Time & Attendance punches and Shifts & Scheduling assignments — not a manual data entry every Friday.
Audit log & retention
Every entry, edit, and approval lands in the same audit log payroll, wage-and-hour review, and DOL audits already use.
Mobile app & approvals
Employees review and managers approve from the branded app they already use for chat and pay — including push reminders before payroll cutoff.
Workflow & automation
An overtime threshold, missing punch, or unsigned timesheet can fire manager nudges, payroll holds, or workflow tasks — one engine.
INDUSTRY FIT
Built for industries where hours feed both payroll and client billing
Timesheets matters where the same hour lands on payroll, on a client invoice, and on a wage-and-hour audit — all three reading the same record.
Professional Services
Billable hours, utilization, and realization pull from Worklog and Workspaces — client invoices and payroll read the same source of truth.
Healthcare
Clinical hours roll up with credential gating, ratio rules, and the audit trail accreditation and wage-and-hour review require.
Manufacturing
Line hours, shift differentials, and overtime with OSHA-friendly retention and labor-cost reporting from the same timesheet record.
Field Service
Technician hours per job, vehicle, and customer roll up to both project billing and payroll with mobile-first capture and approval.
Retail
Associate hours with predictive-scheduling compliance, fair-workweek rules, and labor-cost reporting tied to the same timesheet record.
Construction
Trade hours per job and cost code with mobile capture from field crews and approval flows that match prevailing-wage reporting requirements.
WHY MANGOAPPS WINS
One platform beats a stack of point solutions on every axis
The argument finance, security, ops, and HR all share — and the one a timesheet point tool structurally cannot answer.
Cheaper than the stack
One per-employee suite license replaces Harvest, Toggl, or Replicon plus the WFM, leave, and payroll-export tools you stack around them.
More secure
One identity perimeter, one audit log, one retention policy across every timesheet entry and approval. Nothing for security to re-certify.
Easier to deploy
Already deployed if you have MangoApps. Configure pay-period and approval rules, the first auto-built timesheets land the same pay cycle.
Easier to use
Employees review and submit timesheets from the same mobile app they use for chat and schedule. No separate submit-by-Friday app to install.
Easier to manage
Payroll and HR admins configure pay rules, approval chains, and exports from one console — using live HRIS data as the workforce of record.
Easier to extend
An exception or unsigned timesheet can fire manager nudges, payroll holds, or workflow tasks through one automation engine.
AI is actually better
Timekeeping AI surfaces exceptions, overtime risk, and missing-punch patterns against live timesheet data — governed by the same permission model that protects every other workforce record.
