Timesheet Management
Timesheets generated automatically from tracked hours — no manual entry. Managers review and approve, then export as PDF or Excel for payroll. Activity data backs every hour tracked.

Timesheet Challenges
HiveDesk eliminates the common pain points of timesheet management.
Manual Time Entry
Team members filling in timesheets from memory is inaccurate and time-consuming. HiveDesk generates timesheets from actual tracked hours automatically.
Approval Bottlenecks
Chasing down timesheet approvals delays payroll. Managers review and approve timesheets from a single dashboard.
No Activity Context
Timesheets show hours but not what was done. Activity monitoring and screenshots give context to every tracked hour.
Overtime Surprises
Overtime shows up at payroll, not when it happens. Track daily and weekly hours so overtime is visible in real time.
Unclear Project Costs
Without time-per-project data, labor costs are a guess. Timesheets break down hours by project and task with hourly rates.
Export Headaches
Manually compiling timesheet data for payroll is error-prone. Export approved timesheets as PDF or Excel in a few clicks.
