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.

Timesheet Management Tools

From automatic time tracking to payroll-ready exports.

Automatic Timesheets

Timesheets generated automatically from tracked hours. No manual time entry — hours are recorded as team members work using the desktop, mobile, or browser app.

Approval Workflow

Project & Task Breakdown

Overtime Tracking

Track daily and weekly hours to see overtime before payroll. Overtime reports help you manage costs and stay compliant with labor regulations.

Activity Data

Timesheets backed by activity data — keyboard/mouse activity levels and periodic screenshots during work sessions give context to the hours tracked.

Export to PDF & Excel

3

Export for Payroll

Export approved timesheets as PDF or Excel. Filter by date range, team, project, or individual. Ready for payroll processing or client billing.
