Challenge

A building company was relying on paper timesheets and spreadsheets to record employee hours across multiple projects. Payroll preparation often took several hours each week, project managers had limited visibility over labour costs, and inaccuracies caused delays when processing wages and invoicing clients.

The business wanted a faster, more accurate way to capture employee time while ensuring labour costs were automatically allocated to the correct projects.

Client Request

"We need an easier way for our team to record their hours, reduce payroll administration, and accurately track labour costs against our jobs."

Solution Delivered

Rave's Advanced Timesheets provides builders with a simple digital solution for recording employee time from any device while automatically allocating labour costs to projects.

Using Rave Timesheets, businesses can:

• Record ordinary hours, overtime, leave and allowances.
• Allocate time directly to projects, cost codes and activities.
• Allow employees to complete timesheets from the mobile app or web portal.
• Review, edit and approve timesheets before payroll.
• Track labour costs against project budgets in real time.
• Generate reports showing employee, project and branch labour hours.
• Export approved timesheets directly to payroll systems, reducing duplicate data entry.

Because Timesheets are fully integrated with Rave's Project Management and Financial Management modules, labour costs are automatically reflected throughout the system, providing up-to-date project profitability and reporting.

Customer Feedback

"Payroll used to take us hours every week. Now our team enters their own time, managers approve it in minutes, and we always know exactly where our labour costs are sitting."

Outcome

Within weeks of implementing Rave Timesheets, the business significantly reduced the time spent processing payroll while improving the accuracy of project costing.

Project managers gained real-time visibility of labour costs, employees found it easier to submit their hours, and the finance team eliminated much of the manual data entry previously required. The result was faster payroll processing, more accurate reporting, and better control over project profitability.
