HR & Internal Tools
Build a Timesheet App with Glide
A Glide timesheet app gives employees a fast way to submit their weekly hours and gives payroll the accurate, approved data they need to run payroll on time — without the end-of-period scramble to collect, verify, and correct manually entered hours from a system that hasn't worked reliably since it was set up. GlideApps Agency builds timesheet tools for HR and payroll teams managing workforces where accurate hour tracking is a payroll requirement, not optional. We build systems that close the gap between hours worked and hours paid correctly.
GlideApps Agency builds production-ready Timesheet apps for enterprises and growth-stage companies — 350+ Glide apps delivered since 2019, with deep expertise in hr & internal tools. Projects start at $15,000 with typical delivery in 4–8 weeks.
What does building a Timesheet app include?
Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.
Discovery & Architecture
Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.
UI/UX Design
Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.
Development & QA
Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.
Launch & Support
User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.
Key features of your Timesheet app
Weekly Timesheet Entry Interface
Employees complete their weekly timesheet from their phone or desktop in under five minutes — with pre-populated project codes, rate types, and schedule templates that reduce entry effort and improve submission rates.
Automated Submission Reminders
Send automated reminders to employees who haven't submitted timesheets by a configurable deadline — and escalate to their manager when employees are repeatedly late — reducing the manual chasing that consumes payroll team time every period.
Manager Review and Approval Queue
Managers review their team's submitted timesheets in a prioritized queue, approve in bulk or line by line, flag discrepancies for correction, and see completion rates for their team — all without email threads or separate spreadsheets.
Payroll Export and Integration
Export approved timesheet data in the exact format required by your payroll system — or push via API — so payroll processing begins immediately when all timesheets are approved rather than requiring manual data re-entry.
