Timesheets that fit UK payroll cycles
Approve hours on the cadence you actually run payroll—weekly or monthly—and keep job reports in step.
QuickBooks runs your accounting. Planyard captures the site work, including labour hours, against the correct project and cost code. These are then reviewed and approved, and posted to QuickBooks as clean, accountant-ready summaries. Fewer re-types, earlier margin visibility—and a smoother UK payroll process.
Free 14-day full-featured trial. No credit card required.
Timesheets in Planyard keep projects under control and make payroll simple. For employees you export clean summaries to QuickBooks Payroll; for CIS subcontractors, Planyard links bills to the correct vendor so QuickBooks applies CIS automatically.
Roll up entries by your payroll cycle so Finance isn’t reworking totals later.
Only approved hours move to the accounting summary that feeds QuickBooks Payroll.
Summaries align with your Chart of Accounts and QuickBooks Classes for clean job reporting.
Projects, approvals and payroll use the same coded numbers—no re-typing.
Match subcontractors to the right QuickBooks vendor—no duplicates or mismatches.
Only approved valuations/invoices are included in the CIS-relevant flow to QBO.
Once the bill lands on the correct vendor, QuickBooks calculates CIS according to your setup.
Notes, attachments and approval trails stay with the record for audits.
Most teams don’t struggle to "track time"; they struggle to track it to the right job, catch overruns early, and avoid re-typing the same data later. Planyard fixes that by tying timesheets directly to the budget and approvals flow.
Workers receive reminders and submit hours without extra logins, so adoption actually sticks.
Hours are entered against the right task/code from day one, not fixed weeks later.
Notes and daily summaries (even photos) ride along for context and audit.
The same entry powers job costing, forecasting, and the accounting summary.
See planned vs. actual labour the moment hours are submitted.
% complete and productivity history update EAC automatically.
Spot over-consumption early and re-plan before costs snowball.
Reuse real-world data to price future jobs more accurately.
No credit card required. No sales or IT support needed.
Monthly or weekly roll-ups by project, worker, and cost code.
Only reviewed entries make it into the accounting pack.
Budgets and labour are in sync; reports align with the GL.
Finance stops fixing miscoded hours after the fact.
A simple chain everyone respects: capture → review → approve → post cleanly to QuickBooks.
Capture: Workers get email prompts and log time by task from any device—no separate app accounts to manage.
Review: QS/PM can review submissions and apply project-specific thresholds before anything affects costs or accounting.
Approve: Approved hours hit the control budget and update committed and forecast costs in real time.
Sync: Planyard produces a clean accounting report per project/per worker/per week or month for QuickBooks.
If you only track hours, you’ll still fix coding later and spot variances late; add Planyard to make the data job-ready from the start.
