Employee Online Timesheet Software

Timesheets that fill themselves in. Hours come from the timers employees run on their tasks, and project managers approve or moderate them before they count.

What is employee online timesheet software?

Online timesheet software records the hours employees work in a central system instead of paper forms or spreadsheets. In Goalz.Work, time is captured as employees work: they run a timer on the task in front of them, every session is kept in the task's worklog, and the hours roll up by task, project and employee. Project managers then approve those hours or moderate them with a reason, so the timesheet that reaches your reports has already been reviewed.

Key features

Hours captured on the work, reviewed by the PM.

Hours from task timers
Every start and stop on a task becomes a session in its worklog - no weekly form to fill in from memory.
Project and task hours
Hours roll up per task, per project and per employee, so you can see where time went.
Approve or moderate
At sprint close the PM approves each task's hours as logged or sets a corrected figure with a reason.
Estimate vs actual
Logged hours sit next to each task's estimate, with over-estimate tasks flagged.
Task Reports
Filter by team, project, employee and date range to see estimated, logged and moderated hours.
Timesheet API
Connected timesheet or payroll applications can read hours, worklogs and leave through a secure API.
Captured, not typed

The timesheet is built while the work happens.

Employees start a timer on a task, pause it when they step away and stop it when they are done. Each session is saved to the task's worklog with its duration, so hours are recorded against real work rather than reconstructed at the end of the week.

One running timer per employee at a time
Every session listed in the task worklog
Hours total up per task, project and person
Review

Approved before it counts.

When a sprint closes, the project manager goes through each task's hours: approve them as logged, or moderate them to a different figure and say why. The employee's own logged time is never overwritten, so the adjustment stays visible.

Moderate with a required reason
The sprint closes only when every task is reviewed
Reporting

One report for estimated, logged and approved hours.

Task Reports bring the numbers together by team, project, employee and date range - the estimate, the hours logged, the moderated figure and its reason, whether the task finished on time and how it was rated.
