Run the day

Know exactly who worked what — billable time per person, per week

Gaffer timesheets capture every hour your team puts in, tagged to the right job and marked billable or not. The weekly view builds itself from the field app, so payroll and customer invoices are based on real time — not guesswork.

Where it fits

Step 04 of the job: on site

The engineer taps “On my way” and the customer gets a text with an arrival window. On site: clock in, photos, the certificate for the job — EICR, Gas Safety, whatever the trade needs — signed on the device. No signal? It syncs later.

Jobs & Scheduling is where timesheets sits, and that is the step it shows up in most. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →

About timesheets

What are timesheets for?

Gaffer timesheets capture every hour your team puts in, tagged to the right job and marked billable or not. The weekly view builds itself from the field app, so payroll and customer invoices are based on real time — not guesswork. Gaffer timesheets capture every hour your team puts in, tagged to the right job and marked billable or not.

Can two engineers work the same job?

Yes. A job can carry more than one appointment and more than one person, each with their own times, and each sees it in their own list. Time is recorded per person, so a two-day job with a mate on it still costs correctly.

What happens when a job overruns?

You drag it, and everyone affected is told. The board shows the clash before you confirm it, the engineer’s app updates, and the customer whose slot moved gets a message rather than a doorstep surprise.

Which plan is it on?

Every paid plan. Timesheets is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
