Every Staff Request In One Manager Dashboard

Managers don't need to juggle emails, spreadsheets, and separate systems. Staff timesheet software consolidates everything into one dashboard — pending timesheet approvals, leave requests, absence notifications, and team status updates. Whether you manage 5 staff or 500, the dashboard scales with you. Assign different managers to different teams so each manager only sees their own staff.

For teams who prefer auto-tracking, automatic timesheets generate from clock-in data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is staff timesheet software?

Staff timesheet software is a system that manages the complete lifecycle of employee timesheets — from submission and approval to payroll export. It replaces paper forms and spreadsheets with a centralised digital system. Staff log their hours online or via an app, managers review and approve, and approved hours export to payroll automatically. Good staff timesheet software also handles leave tracking, reminders, and reporting.

How many staff can TimeTally handle?

TimeTally scales from small businesses with a handful of employees to organisations with hundreds of staff. Pricing is simply £2 per employee per month regardless of team size. There are no additional charges for adding managers, admins, or different departments. Multi-team organisations can assign managers to specific teams so each manager only sees and approves their own staff's timesheets.

Can different managers manage different teams?

Yes. Each employee is assigned to a manager in TimeTally. Managers can only see and approve timesheets for their own team members. Admin users can view and manage the whole organisation. This is useful for businesses with multiple departments or sites where different line managers are responsible for different groups of staff.

How does staff timesheet software handle overtime?

TimeTally calculates regular hours and overtime automatically based on the hours logged. You set the overtime threshold (e.g., over 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week), and the system flags overtime separately in the timesheet and in the payroll export. This ensures overtime is clearly visible to managers during approval and is paid correctly through payroll.

Does staff timesheet software integrate with payroll?

Yes. TimeTally integrates directly with Xero and QuickBooks, and exports to CSV for any other UK payroll software. Only manager-approved timesheets are included in payroll exports. This creates a clear accountability chain — every hour reaching payroll has been reviewed and approved by a responsible manager, which is essential for HMRC compliance.

What happens if a staff member submits an incorrect timesheet?

Managers can reject a timesheet with a note explaining what needs correcting. The staff member receives an email notification and can resubmit the corrected version. The full audit trail records the original submission, the rejection reason, and the corrected resubmission. This process protects both the employee and the business in any payroll dispute.

Does the software include a free trial?

Yes. TimeTally offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You can add your whole team, test all features, and see exactly how the software works before committing. After the trial, pricing is £2 per employee per month with no setup fees or contracts. Most teams are up and running within 10-15 minutes of signing up.
