The problem

Spreadsheets and signatures don't hold up in an audit.

When federal funds pay part of someone's salary, 2 CFR 200.430 requires records that show the work was actually done on that award. Many organizations still rely on spreadsheets, budget percentages and signatures collected months later. Those are the records auditors question first.

How it works

Four steps, every week.

  1. Staff record their week.

    Each employee enters hours by day against the grants and tasks they work on, in English or Spanish.

  2. They certify it.

    Submitting a timesheet means certifying that it is accurate.

  3. A supervisor approves.

    The supervisor reviews and certifies the same week.

  4. You have the record.

    Approved weeks produce a certified PDF and exports for payroll and grant reporting, with every change kept in the audit trail.
