Client-site timesheets are important for staffing agencies because the same hours may affect payroll review and client billing preparation. The record needs to show who worked, where they worked, and what was approved.

Manual timesheets make this harder because site context is often missing.

Start with the site

Each timesheet should be connected to the right client and job site. This helps payroll and billing teams understand where the work happened.

If a worker moves between sites, those records should stay separate enough to review accurately.

Review attendance first

Attendance records should be checked before a timesheet is approved. Managers should review missed clock-outs, late starts, early departures, schedule mismatches, and break deductions.

This reduces cleanup when payroll or billing review begins.

Approve before export

Approved records are easier to trust. Rejected records should be corrected, and reopened records should go through review again.

The goal is to export or prepare records only after the agency is comfortable with the timesheet.
