Core capabilities

Workflows and controls every team needs most.

Accurate daily timekeeping, accountable approvals, project- and contract-level labor tracking, clean reporting — no enterprise complexity, no premium tier.

Prime + sub awards, CLINs with funding, direct/indirect labor segregation, per-employee charge authorization.

Approvals & corrections

13 audit reports

DCAA audit suite (5), operations (6), billing (2). CSV export on every report. Append-only audit trail.

Security & SSO

Mandatory TOTP MFA, Argon2id passwords, tenant-aware isolation, SAML + Microsoft Entra OIDC.

Daily timekeeping

Disciplined daily entry — without the spreadsheet ceremony.

A structured grid aligns authorized charge codes to each day of the pay period. Cells open a focused entry modal — Start/End times, computed hours, lunch break, a required note, and a required reason when editing an existing entry.

  • Cell-edit modal with Start/End times, computed hours, lunch break
  • Required notes on every entry; required reason when editing
  • Mobile day-at-a-time view with native time-picker support
  • Late-entry flagging (configurable daily cutoff, default 11:59 PM)
  • Future work entries blocked; future PTO & Holiday allowed
  • PTO balance shown inline as you select a leave code
  • Configurable pay periods: weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly
  • Per-day seal controls — capture intent at the moment
  • Locked periods after close preserve record integrity
  • Holiday auto-highlighting in the grid (tenant-configured)
Daily timesheet grid showing charge codes and day totals
Project & contract structure

Structure work the way auditors expect it.

Organize prime and subcontract awards, align CLINs with funding and periods of performance, and maintain visibility across direct and indirect labor categories. Per-employee charge access restricts users to only the codes they're authorized to use — reducing mischarge risk at the source, not after the audit.

  • Prime + subcontract award tracking
  • CLINs with funding amounts & period of performance
  • Project, contract, and indirect charge codes in one model
  • Direct vs indirect labor segregation (cost-objective separation)
  • Per-employee authorized charge access with expiry
  • Bulk import & CSV export for charge structure
  • Charge code authorization report (point-in-time snapshot)
Contracts table with federal awards, CLIN-aligned periods of performance
Approvals & corrections

Submit. Certify. Review. Approve. Correct.

A clear submission and review workflow from employee certification through supervisor approval — with proxy edit when employees are out and tracked corrections after lock.

Step 01

Enter time

Daily entries against authorized charge codes with required notes.

Step 02

Certify

Electronic attestation at submit, timestamped with IP address.

Step 03

Supervisor review

Approval queue with full per-period visibility and status pills.

Step 04

Approve or return

Reason required on rejection. Reopen approved (pre-lock) when needed.

Step 05

Correct with reason

Post-lock amendments with full before/after audit snapshots.

Proxy edit when employees are out. Admins and managers can edit and submit a timesheet on behalf of an incapacitated employee. Every action carries the proxy reason in the audit trail; the canonical certification text is replaced with a proxy attestation naming the actor and the employee. When the employee returns, a banner asks them to acknowledge or recall to edit.
Segregation of duties enforced. A supervisor cannot approve their own timesheet. The only exception is the tenant's single, audit-logged sole-operator exception for single-officer companies — explicitly acknowledged, captured in the audit trail, and flagged on the Approver Segregation report.
Reporting & audit-ready

13 reports. Every one ready for an auditor.

DCAA audit, operations, and billing reports — all CSV-exportable, all backed by an append-only audit trail that captures who changed what, when, and why.

  • Edit audit trail
  • Direct vs Indirect labor

Operations 6

Security & access

Security-minded by design.

Foundational controls that support dependable operation across every tenant workspace — the same controls Providence Solutions applies to its federal cybersecurity work.

Mandatory MFA

TOTP after first login. Compatible with Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy. Admin can reset.

Argon2id passwords

Industry-standard memory-hard hashing. 12-character minimum with strength validation. No plaintext storage.

Row-level isolation

PostgreSQL RLS enforced per-tenant. Application-layer permission checks. Cross-tenant access architecturally impossible.

SSO (SAML + Entra)

Microsoft Entra ID OIDC or SAML 2.0. Auto-provisioning on first SSO login. Domain-based tenant routing.

Workforce & administration

Run your tenant the way you run your business.

Roles, permissions, time-off policy, holidays, training, reminders — every admin surface a growing team needs, configured per tenant.

Roles & permissions

4 built-in roles (Employee / Supervisor / Manager / Admin). Fine-grained permissions matrix with optional two-person sign-off on destructive actions.

Time off policy

Per-PTO-code annual allotments. Accrual model: fully-assigned at period start, or accrued proportionally. Rollover annual or by hire-date anniversary.

Holidays

11 US federal holidays pre-seeded for 3 years. Toggle observed/not observed per tenant. Add custom holidays (company anniversaries, floating days).

Timekeeping training

Tenant-configurable training content shown as blocking modal on first login. Re-acknowledgment cadence (annual default). Audit-logged with exact text seen.

Reminders

Daily nudge for missing entries plus period-end reminders. Email + in-app bell. Configurable schedule per tenant.

Sole-operator exception

For single-officer companies where segregation of duties is impossible. Audit-logged, explicitly acknowledged, surfaced on the Approver Segregation report.

Built to support disciplined operations.

Every team gets every feature, the day it ships. No tiers, no upsells, no per-seat fees.
