FREE 5-TIMESHEET TEST

Try it on five of your own timesheets.

Send five timesheets from one recent week. We return a checked spreadsheet with anything missing or unclear flagged — free, with no card and no account. Target: the next working day from a readable set.

What comes back

A checked spreadsheet of your five timesheets’ hours, plus a clear list of anything to confirm. Nothing is guessed and nothing is charged.

THE PROBLEM

The real costs of manual timesheets

01

You waste time

Someone on your team opens, reads and retypes every timesheet, every week.

02

You waste money

Those are paid hours spent on retyping instead of on clients and placements.

03

You can make mistakes

Hours typed by hand go wrong, and a payroll error costs more time to put right.

THE SOLUTION

Here’s the fast & cheap solution

01 · YOU

You send us a sample timesheet.

One sample of the format your temps already use. No change for anybody.

02 · FIRSTLINE DESK

We set up our AI on your format.

Every future timesheet in that format is processed automatically. Anything missing or unclear is flagged for your team.

03 · YOUR AGENCY

Your temps and your agency don’t change a thing.

Same timesheets, same approvals, same payroll system.

More time and money for your business.

A GOOD FIT

Is it a good fit?

Ideal for

  • Teams that receive timesheets as photos, scans, PDFs or paper.
  • 100+ timesheets a month typed into payroll by hand.
  • Anyone who wants to keep their current payroll system and approvals.

Not ideal for

  • Teams whose workers already submit hours in a timesheet app or portal.
  • Anyone who wants pay calculated or payroll submitted for them — we don’t do that.

HOW WE HANDLE UNCLEAR HOURS

It never guesses.

When a value is missing, crossed out or unreadable, the row is flagged with what to confirm. Your team approves every row before payroll.

QUESTIONS

Common questions.

More detail: how it works and pricing.

Can you really automate any timesheet format?

Most printed, PDF and scanned timesheets, yes. We set up your formats from a sample. If a format can’t be read reliably, for example very messy handwriting, we tell you plainly and flag it rather than guess.

What do you need from me to get started?

Send us a sample of your timesheets and our AI learns them. That’s it.

How many timesheets per month can you handle?

As many as you need. There is no limit on timesheets or temp workers.

What does it cost?

The first 5 timesheets are free. Then $0.50 per timesheet processed, invoiced monthly in arrears. No set-up fee and no contract.

Is this a new payroll system?

No. Your payroll system, approvals and pay decisions stay the same. Your team checks flagged items before payroll.

What happens when it can’t read something?

It flags the row with what needs checking — never a guess — and your team confirms it before payroll.

Do you keep our timesheets?

The free-test sample is deleted after the test. For ongoing work, retention is agreed up front. See how we handle data.
