Digital timesheet sign‑off

Capture hours, approvals, and audit trails in one place - without paper forms or email chains

Facilities review and e‑sign in minutes, while agencies get clean, locked records ready for downstream processes

The challenge

  • Agencies spend days chasing paper or scanned timesheets from busy facilities.

  • Handwritten or manually keyed entries create errors, missing breaks, and disputes over what was actually worked.

  • When corrections are needed, nobody is sure which version is final or who changed what.

How ShiftNest helps

  • Workers log start, finish, and breaks digitally as soon as the shift ends, so nothing relies on memory.

  • Facilities review, adjust if needed, and e‑sign from any device, cutting out printing, scanning, or back‑and‑forth emails.

  • Once signed, timesheets are locked with a clear snapshot; any later correction creates a new line and keeps the full audit trail.

Everything you need for digital sign‑off

Capture shifts accurately, right after they happen.

Digital timesheets

Workers record start, finish, and breaks as soon as a shift ends, using a clear, consistent digital format. This removes guesswork from handwritten notes and makes every entry easier for facilities to review and approve.

Approve in clicks, not email chains.

Easy facility approvals

Facility managers see pending timesheets in their dashboard, can adjust details if needed, and e‑sign from desktop or mobile in a couple of clicks. Approvals land in one place, so signatures are faster and no timesheet disappears into an inbox.

Know exactly what was agreed, and when.

Locked, auditable records

Once a timesheet is signed, the record is locked and any later changes are logged by user, time, and reason. You keep a complete audit trail of original entries and corrections, giving agencies and facilities a single source of truth.

Take clean data straight into your other systems.

Export‑ready summaries

Generate PDF or CSV summaries that mirror on‑screen totals and respect filters like date range, facility, or worker. This makes it simple to hand off accurate timesheet data to downstream tools without extra cleaning or reconciliation.
