Excel time tracking template questions
Do the templates work in Google Sheets?+
Yes. The files are Excel workbooks, but the layouts and formulas are simple enough to open in Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc. Always test totals after importing.
Do Excel timesheets create an audit trail?+
Not by themselves. A spreadsheet can show totals, but it usually does not prove who edited a row, when it changed, or whether a manager approved it. Use EasyHours when audit trail, approvals, and live clock-ins matter.
When should we move from Excel to a time tracking app?+
Move when managers spend too much time chasing files, employees forget entries, payroll cleanup becomes repetitive, or you need live attendance, GPS clock-ins, approvals, and payroll-ready exports.
When the spreadsheet starts managing you, switch to EasyHours
EasyHours gives employees one-tap clock-ins, managers a review queue, and payroll a clean export. Start with Excel today, then move to app-based tracking when the process needs less manual work.
