Timesheet software for staffing firms

Every timesheet in. Payroll-ready hours out.

Consultants submit their week from a phone in 30 seconds. Timesheets your clients already approved in Beeline, Fieldglass or a PDF get read for you instead of re-typed. Overtime is split by state. One export goes to payroll.

$5 per consultant who submits in MTT. $2 per consultant whose client timesheets you collect. No minimum.

No credit card. No implementation consultants. Deploy in days, not months.

Timesheets

30 seconds to submit. No Friday chase.

Mobile web entry, autosave, copy last week. Self-attested or sent to a client manager or internal approver, set per assignment. Timestamped record and PDF for every week.

Multi-state overtime

Different states, different overtime rules. Split for you.

Each day is tagged with its work state. California daily-8 and double-time after 12, Alaska and Nevada daily-8, Colorado daily-12, federal weekly-40 everywhere else. Payroll export has one row per consultant per state. MTT prepares the hours; your payroll provider runs payroll.

MTT Collect

Stop re-typing timesheets your clients already approved.

Forward the email or upload the file. AI reads the PDF, scan or spreadsheet. You check the hours against the original and post. Nothing posts on its own.

01 — The Monday morning problem

It's Sunday, 11pm. Where's Christopher's timesheet?

Your operations lead has been chasing five consultants since Friday. One forgot. Two said they'd send it after dinner. One submitted in the wrong format — again. Meanwhile the hours your clients already signed off on are sitting in an inbox as two PDFs and an Excel export, waiting for someone to type them in before 9am. This happens every week.

→ 01

The Monday chase

Email reminders, WhatsApp pings, escalations to managers. Manual follow-up burns 8–15 hours every week — every week.

→ 02

The re-keying

The client's timesheet comes back as an Excel export, a PDF, a screenshot out of Beeline or Fieldglass. Someone types every hour into your own sheet, line by line. One slipped digit is an underpaid consultant or a billing dispute you hear about three weeks later.

→ 03

Multi-entity mess

You run two LLCs to handle W2 and corp-to-corp. Off-the-shelf tools assume one company. Your data lives in three spreadsheets and a Google Drive folder no one trusts.

→ 04

Enterprise tools, SMB budget

Workday is for Fortune 500. Paychex bundles payroll you don't need. Replicon starts at "talk to sales." You just want one tool, one price, one job done.

02 — MTT Collect

The client's timesheet is already done. Stop typing it in again.

Your consultant filled it in on the client's system. The client signed off. Then it reaches you as an Excel export, a PDF or a screenshot — and somebody in your back office re-keys every hour into your own sheet. MTT Collect takes the file and does that part.

01

Send it in

Forward the email to your firm's Collect address, or upload the file. One address for the whole firm. Set it up once.

02

MTT reads the file

AI reads PDFs, scans and images. For a spreadsheet export, MTT proposes which column is which and you okay it once — after that the same layout is recognized on sight.

03

You review and confirm

Check the extracted hours against the original, decide what's non-billable, and post. Nothing posts on its own. The original file stays attached as proof.

→ Formats it reads
Excel (.xlsx, .xls) CSV PDF Scanned PDF Images (PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF) VMS report exports

Collected timesheets were already approved at the source. MTT doesn't approve them and neither do you — you confirm the hours were read correctly. There's no login to Beeline, Fieldglass or any other VMS: Collect works from the file they export. It's switched on per account, so ask us to turn it on.

Multi-state overtime

Working in two states this week? We split the overtime for you.

If your consultant works Tuesday and Wednesday in California and Thursday and Friday in New Jersey, the overtime rules are different on each side. Most tools make you split the hours by hand — or worse, get it wrong. MTT does it automatically, every week.

→ One consultant, one week
Day State Hours Rule applied
TueCA8h
WedCA10h→ 2h California daily overtime
ThuNJ12h
FriNJ12h
→ Multi-state overtime, calculated automatically
Total: 42h worked (40h Regular + 2h Overtime)
CA Reg 16 / OT 2 / DT 0
NJ Reg 24 / OT 0 / DT 0

OT is attributed to the state where it was earned.

Every state's rules are baked in: California daily 8 and double-time after 12, Alaska and Nevada daily 8, Colorado daily 12, federal weekly 40. No pay-rule engine to configure, no spreadsheet column to maintain. The split flows straight into your payroll export, ready for Paychex, ADP, or whatever you use.

04 — Why MTT exists
We tried QuickBooks Time. We tried Paychex. We tried Replicon. All three were so complicated we gave up and went back to Excel. So we built the timesheet platform we actually wanted to use — narrow, fast, obvious. If a consultant can't submit their week in 30 seconds, we got it wrong.

05 — How it works

Collect. Tally. Pay and bill.

No training. No "implementation phase." Four steps, every week — and nobody in your office retypes an hour.

01

Collect

Consultants submit their week in MTT from a phone — 30 seconds, self-attested or sent to the client manager for one-click sign-off. Timesheets kept on a client's system come in through MTT Collect: forward the email or upload the file.

02

Tally

Excel, PDF, scan, VMS export — MTT pulls the hours out and puts every consultant's week in one place. You confirm what it read. No master spreadsheet.

03

Payroll prep

Hours entered in MTT are split Regular / OT / double-time per state, automatically. Collected hours keep the split the client's timesheet already shows. One export, ready for Paychex, ADP or whatever you use.

04

Invoicing support

Signed PDFs, client-format exports, and the original file behind every collected hour. MTT isn't your invoicing software — it's the proof you attach to the invoice.

06 — Built for staffing

The five things that make this not another timesheet tool.

Every other tool was built for an HR department. MTT was built for the back office of a staffing firm.

11 — Who it's for

If any of this sounds like you…

Three problems staffing firms bring to a timesheet tool. Start with whichever one costs you the most time.

Complicated software

Your timesheet tool is harder than the problem.

You're on a payroll-suite add-on, an enterprise platform, or back on spreadsheets because the software took more effort than the timesheets did. In MTT a consultant submits a week in about 30 seconds, and you can see who's in and who isn't.

Multi-state consultants

Consultants working in more than one state.

California daily overtime, a week split across two states, and a payroll run that needs the hours sorted by state. MTT tags each day with its work state and does the split for you.

Client-system timesheets

Clients who keep the timesheet on their own system.

Hours approved in Beeline, Fieldglass or a client portal reach you as a file. MTT Collect reads the file; you check the hours and post. Nobody types them in again.

12 — Things people ask first

The real questions.

Is this only for staffing firms?
MTT is built for staffing firms, and that's who we design for. Other businesses that track hourly work for clients can use it too, at the same price.
What if my client or MSP needs its own format?
Any client format, set up once. Send us your client's blank Excel or PDF template during onboarding and we'll set it up for you. You don't wait for a "roadmap" item.
What timesheet formats can MTT Collect read?
Excel (.xlsx and .xls), CSV, PDF — scanned PDFs included — and images: PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF. That covers the report exports VMS platforms like Beeline and Fieldglass produce, and a screenshot or photo of a timesheet. Files up to 25 MB. In a multi-sheet workbook MTT reads one sheet: it picks the fullest one, and you can switch it. iPhone HEIC photos need saving as JPG or PNG first.
What if the file is messy?
Then MTT stops and shows you, instead of guessing. If the hours it read don't add up to the total printed on the timesheet, you see the mismatch before anything posts. Rows it couldn't read are listed. A pay code it hasn't seen holds the file until you say what it is. A week that's already in MTT asks whether to overwrite or skip. Nothing posts until you confirm, and the original file is kept so you can check any number against it.
Do I still approve collected timesheets?
No. A collected timesheet was already approved at the source — by the client, in their system — before it reached you. MTT doesn't approve it and doesn't ask you to. You review the hours MTT extracted, confirm they match the file, decide what's billable, and post. That's a read-check, not an approval.
How is this different from QuickBooks Time or Paychex Time?
Those tools are timesheet add-ons inside payroll or accounting suites. They assume you employ the people whose time they track. We're built for staffing firms — where your consultants get billed to a client who needs an approval and an MSP-specific export. Different problem, different product.
What does it cost? Any setup fees or minimums?
$5 per consultant who submits in MTT. $2 per consultant whose client timesheets you collect. No minimum. No setup fee and no platform fee. You pay only for active consultants. For timesheets in MTT, active means billable hours recorded in MTT that month. For MTT Collect, active means collected hours you confirmed and posted that month. Nobody active this month? You pay $0. We never charge per document, email or upload.
What if a consultant is on both in the same month?
You're charged once for that consultant, at the higher rate — never both. A consultant who submits in MTT and also has client timesheets collected in the same month counts once.
What's the catch with founding customer pricing?
No catch, and nothing to apply for. The first 20 paying firms pay $3 per consultant who submits in MTT, locked for life. The rate is set when you become a paying customer, not at trial signup. MTT Collect stays $2. Once 20 firms are in, the program closes and new customers pay $5. We'd rather give early adopters a real, lasting deal — and grow alongside real customers — than burn money on ads.
How long does setup actually take?
Realistic timeline: sign up Monday, import consultants and clients Tuesday, run a test week Wednesday, go live the following Monday. We don't sell "implementation services" because they're not needed.
What about payroll integration?
We're not a payroll product and don't pretend to be — that's the point. MTT exports approved timesheets in formats Paychex, ADP, Gusto, and QuickBooks ingest natively. Your existing payroll stays. We're the timesheet layer, not your everything. (And we'll never make you replace your accountant.)
Does MTT handle California's daily overtime and double-time?
Yes. California's daily-8 (1.5×), daily-12 (2× double-time), and the federal weekly-40 are all encoded. Per-day work-state tagging means each day gets the right rule. Nothing to set up.
What if a consultant works in two states the same week?
We split the overtime by state automatically. The payroll export gives you one row per consultant per state, with Reg/OT/DT already correct — ready to drop into Paychex, ADP, or whatever you use.
Is it secure? Where's the data?
US-hosted, encrypted at rest and in transit, per-tenant data isolation. Each firm's data is isolated from every other firm's. We don't share, sell, or train on customer data.
Can I white-label it for my consultants?
Per-tenant branding (company name on PDFs and emails) is included. Full white-label with custom domain is on the roadmap — talk to us if it's a deal-breaker.
What if I'm just one consultant?
You're welcome here. If you're an independent consultant billing through an MSP or directly, it's $5/month, all features, no minimum.
