Labor cost visibility for finance leaders

Most organizations allocate labor costs using spreadsheets and manager estimates—methods that are slow, error-prone, and impossible to audit. Automated labor cost allocation captures hours against pre-defined cost codes at the point of entry, so finance gets verified actuals instead of reconstructed guesses. This reduces budget variance, supports audit readiness, and gives leaders the data they need to make allocation decisions with confidence.

Labor costs are typically allocated by project, department, cost center, or funding source. Organizations also classify labor as direct vs. indirect, billable vs. non-billable, and CapEx vs. OpEx. ClickTime supports all of these allocation methods by letting finance define the cost structure upfront, so every hour employees log is categorized correctly from the start—no reclassification needed.

ClickTime ties each hour to meaningful financial categories—project, cost code, billing status, and department—at the moment of time entry. Variable cost rates calculate each salaried employee's true hourly cost per pay period based on actual hours worked. Custom overtime rules capture accurate nonexempt costs. The result is finance-ready labor data that maps directly to your general ledger without manual rework.

Yes. ClickTime integrates with NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and SAP to move approved, categorized labor cost data directly into your accounting system. Time entries are structured by cost code, project, and billing rate so they map to your GL entries without re-entry—giving finance teams a single source of truth for project costing and labor cost reporting.
