Timesheet & Payroll App

Power AppsPower AutomateDataverse

THE PROBLEM

Every Friday, payroll lost a full day untangling crew timesheets - some on paper, some buried in email, half of them argued over the following Monday. Mistakes were caught after pay had already gone out.

THE APPROACH

A phone app the crew actually uses. Log hours against the right job in 30 seconds, supervisor approves with a tap, and pay - overtime, allowances, leave - is calculated automatically. One clean file goes to payroll.

WHAT CHANGED

Payroll prep dropped from a full day to under an hour. Disputes basically vanished because every hour now has a name, a job, and a sign-off attached.
