Timesheets & payroll

Audited timesheets

Review, flag and approve each week, with a tamper-evident edit history — every change carries a reason and is visible to staff — built for UK NMW and Working Time record-keeping.

Every week of clock events lands as a clean timesheet to review, flag and approve. The point of difference is the audit trail: every edit you make requires a reason and is recorded in a tamper-evident history that staff can see too. When a shift is disputed — or HMRC asks — you have a paper trail instead of an argument.

Edit logged: Jess's clock-out adjusted 20:08 → 20:11, “forgot to clock out, confirmed with manager”. Visible to Jess.

A week to approve: clocked vs paid hours, flags, and an edit history with a reason on every change.

The weekly review

  1. 1

    Look at the week

    Each person’s clocked hours, breaks and the resulting paid hours, with anything unusual flagged.

  2. 2

    Fix with a reason

    Correct a forgotten clock-out or a wrong break — and record why. The reason is stored, not lost.

  3. 3

    Approve

    Approving locks the week as the figure of record, ready to export to payroll.

Why the audit trail matters

Raw clock event → your edit (with reason, logged) → approved hours. Every step is kept and visible.

Common questions

Do I legally have to keep records of my staff’s working hours in the UK?
Yes. UK employers must keep records showing they pay at least the National Minimum/Living Wage, and since 1 April 2021 those records must be kept for six years (GOV.UK); you also need adequate records of hours under the Working Time Regulations. WagePilot’s audited, tamper-evident timesheets are built to give you exactly that paper trail, exportable whenever HMRC or an employee asks.
