Timesheets

Project time that reconciles with payroll.

Track time against projects, clients and cost centres, approve it in the same flow as attendance, and use it for both client billing and accurate labour costing.

The problem

Project hours are logged in one tool for client invoicing and attendance in another for payroll, and the two never quite agree.

What it costs

Utilisation reporting is built on estimates, labour cost per project is approximate, and the same person fills in two systems every week.

How HRZyra handles it

Time booked against projects, clients and cost centres, approved in the same flow as attendance, and used for both client billing and labour costing from one set of numbers.

What changes

Client invoicing and internal labour costing come from one approved set of hours rather than two competing ones.

Core capabilities

  • Time entry against projects, tasks, clients and cost centres
  • Weekly submission with manager and project-owner approval
  • Billable and non-billable split for client invoicing
  • Utilisation and labour-cost reporting by project
  • Reconciles against attendance so approved hours and paid hours agree

How it works

The sequence a team actually follows, month to month.

  1. 1

    Book time

    Entries against projects, tasks, clients and cost centres.

  2. 2

    Submit weekly

    Manager and project-owner approval on the same submission.

  3. 3

    Split billable

    Billable and non-billable separated for invoicing.

  4. 4

    Reconcile

    Approved hours checked against attendance so booked and paid time agree.

What changes for the business

Utilisation you can trust

Reporting reads from time that has been approved, not estimated.

Labour cost per project

Cost allocation follows the cost centre the time was booked to.

One approval, not two

Timesheet and attendance approval stop being separate chores.

Timesheets — common questions

Do timesheets and attendance have to be filled in separately?

Timesheets book time against projects, tasks and cost centres for billing and costing; attendance records presence for payroll. Approved timesheet hours reconcile against attendance so the two agree rather than being maintained in parallel.

Can time be booked against client projects for invoicing?

Yes. Time books against project, task, client and cost centre, is approved by both the reporting manager and the project owner, and reconciles against attendance so billable hours and paid hours agree.
