TimeCamp is much more than a simple timesheet app. Discover how it can benefit your team.

Free automatic timesheet app

Online timesheet app by TimeCamp is an indispensable tool that simplifies employee time and attendance tracking. Our time tracker provides accurate time data, streamlining daily business processes like project management, payroll, or client billing.

See how our free timesheet app can save your team up to 3 hours per month on manual entry of work hours!

How does the timesheet app by TimeCamp work?

Timesheets in TimeCamp will probably be the first section you see after registering a new account and going through the user onboarding process.

Here, you can submit new time entries and edit or delete existing hours. Our goal was to squeeze as much functionality as we could in there, allowing users to mark entries as billable hours or copy them with just a few clicks.

There are three different types of timesheets available:

  • Day: A list of time entries registered for a particular day by a specific employee. It allows you to start a new timer or add a new time entry by hand, assign entries to projects or tasks, and add notes and tags for better categorization (especially useful when generating reports).

  • Calendar: Works similarly to the day timesheet, yet looks like the weekly view of your average calendar app. Time entries are presented as blocks of time, and logged hours are arranged from the earliest entry. Time boxes assigned to different projects are in different colors, so it seems the perfect option for users who prefer to track time more visually.

  • Week: A textual, table-like timesheet that allows you to submit work hours for an entire week at once. Use it if your workflow requires submitting how much time you have spent on a particular task instead of the exact start and end time.

TimeCamp ensures your employee time is always tracked to the last second and safely stored for more extended usage, such as tracking time and absences, preparing accurate payroll lists, and charging clients according to hours tracked for their projects.

Top tip: Day timesheet view allows users to copy entries from previous days, along with hours tracked.

Timesheets in TimeCamp are free forever for unlimited users, just like unlimited projects, automatic time tracking, or basic reporting.

Timesheet approvals for error-free work hours submissions

Manual review of submitted timesheets takes long hours, doesn't it?

Don't worry; TimeCamp has you covered, letting you approve timesheets automatically.

Submit and approve timesheets in a few easy steps:

  • Our time tracking software allows employees to submit their work hours straight from the timesheet view for an easy review.

  • A person with a proper permission level can approve timesheets with just one click, and once the timesheet is approved, it gets locked for further changes.

  • Managers can also reject timesheets and leave (optional) notes explaining the mistakes in employees' submissions to allow them to make sufficient changes.

Top tip: Automatic reminders sent by email ensure timely submissions and approvals.

TimeCamp settings also provide the complete automation of the approval process. The tool itself can submit timesheets automatically when the time chosen in settings comes and also approve timesheets after the selected number of days. (e.g., every Friday).

Top tip: You can turn off the timesheet approval feature for specific users within your team.

Tens of thousands of teams love our timesheet approval feature, so why don't you test it now?

Full time tracking flexibility

Timesheet software is at the core of TimeCamp, yet it isn't the tool's only method of time tracking.

It works perfectly in sync with the following features:

  • Automatic time tracking software: Use a desktop app to track time in the background and automatically collect timesheet data. Available for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

  • Browser extensions: Place a TimeCamp button within your other tools or track time straight from the plugin interface pinned next to the URL address bar. Available for Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

  • Mobile apps: A timesheet software for iOS and Android that helps users track time wherever they are. Packed with geofencing and GPS tracking, it's a perfect option for tracking employees' time and location.

How can I use timesheet data?

Hours collected by TimeCamp timesheet app are an invaluable source of data for a business that managers can use to streamline various business processes.

Additional features allow our users to prepare thorough analyses of how costs and revenues from projects, bill their clients till the single second worked for them, and pay the employees accurately for a job done.

Streamlined attendance and overtime tracking

Track and manage employees' absences, overtime, and time off requests.

Choose timesheet data to display employees' attendance based on time tracked for projects, including:

  • The total number of hours worked,

  • "Should be" time per day (default workday length, a value set in account settings),

  • Time of first and last entry for the particular day,

  • Absence or day type (e.g., regular day, remote work, vacation leave, business trip, etc.)

  • Used vacation hours per day,

  • Overtime.

Changing the day type (e.g., vacation, sick leave, etc.) in timesheets works as day off requests.

Project managers are automatically notified each time they receive employees' submissions so they can respond in real-time based on current workload and team capacity.

Top tip: Generate and export attendance reports to keep employee records in order.

Accurate payroll for teams of any size

Simplify payroll processing by creating detailed lists based on employee attendance and timesheet data.

While manual solutions like logbooks or paper timesheets often provide inaccurate records due to employees' forgetfulness or unhealthy time theft practices, digital time tracking tools ensure error-free hours logging and PTO tracking and, thus, correct payroll calculations.

TimeCamp's robust exporting feature allows users to generate a CSV file containing employees' timesheet data for a specific date range and then import it into their payroll software. You can create separate files for the entire group of employees or separate teams within your organization.

Transitioning from rudimentary time tracking methods to an online timesheet app may take a while, yet with TimeCamp's short learning curve, introducing it into a team's workflow is a breeze.

Due to its low labor intensity, our automatic time tracker helps fill, submit, and approve time in seconds, ensuring a fair amount of money on employees' accounts at the end of the week or month.

Top tip: Set the holidays in Settings to fill attendance reports with them automatically.

Top-notch client billing and invoicing

Switch to a timesheet app to reduce errors in charging clients for services your company provides. TimeCamp billing feature ensures no work goes unbilled, keeping your business on the path to sustainable growth.

Moreover, a built-in invoicing feature keeps the entire process within our time tracking software and eliminates the risk of losing billable hours due to problems caused by third-party apps.

How to bill and invoice clients with TimeCamp?

  • Set billable rates: TimeCamp allows you to set a specific rate for each client, which is especially beneficial when working on multiple projects for different clients simultaneously.

  • Track billable hours: Mark time entries as billable when filling timesheets or set entries that belong to a specific project or task as billable by default.

  • Generate finance reports: Keep an eye on the number of billable hours tracked against tasks or custom fields to check how much time logged in projects can be considered valuable.

  • Use the invoicing feature: Fill invoices based on billable hours your employees registered per specific tasks within the selected date range and the rate applied to a client. You can also include billable expenses there.

  • Issue the invoices: Send invoices as PDF files, or just create a handy link to track the payment for your services.

Top tip: Billing and invoicing features are also perfect for settling contractors and freelancers.

Enjoy accurate client charging based on employee timesheet data. This way, you can easily separate activities that bring you money from administrative costs and, thus, squeeze the most out of your employees' efforts.

Accurate time data reporting

With TimeCamp, you can generate:

  • Employees' performance overviews (e.g., of a specific user or of entire teams),

  • Summaries of hours tracked for specific projects and tasks,

  • Finance reports to compare estimates with actual resource spending, costs vs revenues, and project margin,

  • Encapsulations of users' computer activities, such as time spent browsing websites and apps, goal achievement progress,

  • Real-time breakdowns of each employee's time and tool usage are perfect for performance self-checkups.

  • Location reports help track how much time a team member has spent in a certain location.

  • A summing up of expenses registered for a particular project or task.

Exporting reports is a breeze; just choose the desired format (PDF, CSV, Excel, or Sheets), download the file, and send it to your clients as proof of work.

Another way of staying up to date with project statuses is periodical emails, a sort of automatic reminders that the reports for scheduled frequency and timeframe are ready for the recipient to browse.

Best timesheet app for remote workers

There's no way to manage remote workers efficiently without using timesheet software. Provide each remote team member access to our time tracking software to track time for projects and tasks they're part of, just as their colleagues who work in the office do.

Using a timesheet software for WFH monitoring is beneficial for both sides:

  • Remote employees fill their timesheets with time spent on projects and assigned tasks, contributing to the total number of hours logged by the entire team. They can also control their own productivity to ensure they're compensated fairly for fulfilling the assigned tasks within the deadline.

  • Employers (or a team manager, etc.) are up-to-date with each remote employee's attendance and timesheet submissions, can monitor their activity and performance, and receive proof of work to pay them fairly.

Besides, the online timesheet app provides access to time data from anywhere, which makes it a perfect alternative to popular tools like Google Sheets or offline spreadsheets for remote workers.

Top tip: As a manager, always remind your employees to set the type of day in Attendance as "remote work."

Best timesheet software for companies of all sizes and regardless of industry.

The free version of TimeCamp is and will always be available for unlimited users.
