More of Timesite, wherever work happens

Timesite continues to evolve.

This release brings together four major areas of development: Timesite V2 Mobile, smarter payroll rules and a more structured approach to approvals.

Together, they reflect a broader direction for Timesite — making it easier for employees to capture their time, easier for managers to manage it, easier for systems to stay connected and easier for payroll teams to process everything correctly.

1. Timesite V2 Mobile

More than a timesheet app 

The original Timesite mobile app was built primarily to do one thing well: capture time.

Timesite V2 is taking the next step.

We're progressively moving more of the Timesite workflow onto mobile, so employees and managers can do more without needing to return to the desktop.

What's different?

Roster interaction

Roster accept/reject is now available in Timesite V2, giving employees a simple way to interact with their roster rather than simply recording time against it.

Daily sign-off

We have built support for daily timesheet sign-off, bringing another important part of the approval process into the mobile workflow.

The bigger picture

The original app was about capturing time.

V2 is becoming about capturing, reviewing and managing work wherever it happens.

Employees don't work at a desk. Managers don't always manage from a desk.

Timesite V2 is designed around that reality.

And we're not finished yet with AI assisted approvals to be released before Christmas.

2. Turning complex time into clean payroll

Smarter rules. Less manual intervention.

The real value of a time and attendance system isn't simply capturing hours.

It's making sure those hours are correctly interpreted before they reach payroll.

That's why we're continuing to invest heavily in the Timesite V5 rules engine.

The latest development work makes Timesite better at handling the complexity between an employee working a shift and that shift being correctly processed by payroll.

Smarter rules processing

• Improved pay-grade modification and whole-of-day processing.
• Better handling of linked allowances.
• Improved processing of split-day timesheets.
• Improved handling of shift items.
• Daily allowances can now be processed where a day contains a zero-hour timesheet.

More intelligent break handling

Paid and unpaid breaks can now be automatically inserted based on hours worked, rather than simply reaching a particular time of day.

Support for a second paid break is also being finalised, including automatic creation based on configurable hours worked.

Greater payroll control

The V5 engine now provides more consistent control over payroll and GL exports, including ensuring "Don't export to payroll" and "Don't export to GL" settings are respected across rule types.

These controls now apply to Xero as well as MYOB.

Xero exports can also use tracking codes based on project codes where enabled.

The bigger picture

Awards, EBAs, allowances, breaks, projects and payroll systems can make workforce processing complicated very quickly.

The complexity hasn't disappeared. Timesite is absorbing more of it.

The objective is simple:

Capture time → Apply the rules → Approve → Export

with less manual intervention and fewer opportunities for errors.

3. Making approvals simpler and more accountable

Bringing structure to the way work gets approved

As organisations grow, approving timesheets, leave and rosters can become increasingly complicated.

Who approves what?

Who is responsible for each employee?

Has the timesheet actually been reviewed?

What happened after it was submitted?

Timesite is continuing to expand its Company Tree and approval framework to make these processes easier to manage.

More flexible approval structures

The Company Tree is being expanded to support different organisational structures and multiple types of approval.

This allows Timesite's approval processes to better reflect the way an organisation actually operates.

Better leave approval

Approvers can now see more information about leave requests, including:

• Who created the request
• When it was created
• Latest activity
• Requested and approved hours
• Improved date filtering
• An "All Future" option
• Improved handling of requests made on behalf of another employee

A new leave report is also being added to the report list.

Roster approvals

Roster accept/reject is now available in Timesite V2, bringing roster interaction closer to the employee.

The roster screen has also been substantially improved, including:

• Daily timeline
• Better visualisation
• Improved timesheet roster screen
• PDF printing

Daily sign-off

We're also built support for daily timesheet sign-off, allowing employees and managers to participate in the approval process closer to the point where the work occurs; on their mobile device.

The goal

Approval shouldn't mean chasing people, checking spreadsheets or trying to work out what happened.

Timesite is making the process more visible, structured and accountable — while keeping it simple for the people using it.
