Time, PTO & Expense Management gives your workers a single mobile-friendly portal to submit their hours, leave requests, and expense reports — and gives your operations team a single place to review and approve them. Data captured here flows automatically into payroll and billing, eliminating the re-entry work that drives errors and delays.

Timesheet capture

Timesheets in 2cloudnine are fully configurable to match how your different worker populations actually work. A W2 employee on a standard 40-hour week needs a different timesheet format than a 1099 contractor billing by project milestone or a healthcare traveler tracking shift differentials.

Configurable timesheet formats

Build timesheet templates for each worker type — W2, 1099, contractor, and temp — with the fields and pay code structures each engagement requires.

Mobile-friendly worker portal

Workers submit time from any device. The portal is optimized for mobile so field workers and travelers are not dependent on a desktop to meet submission deadlines.

Approval workflows

Configure multi-step approval chains — worker submits, client approves, internal team confirms — to match your client contracts and internal governance requirements.

Exception flagging

Incomplete or potentially non-compliant timesheets are flagged before approval, so your team resolves issues upstream rather than correcting payroll after the fact.

PTO and leave management

Leave tracking is built directly into the platform, aligned to each worker’s employment contract and applicable state rules. Your team does not need a separate HR system to manage accruals and time-off requests.
  • Accrual tracking — balances update automatically as workers accrue leave based on the rules defined in their contract
  • State-specific rules — leave policies for California, New York, and other jurisdictions with mandatory paid sick leave are supported natively
  • Worker self-service — workers submit leave requests through the same portal they use for timesheets; managers approve through the same workflow interface
  • Payroll integration — approved leave automatically converts to a paid line item in payroll without any manual entry

Expense management

Workers submit receipts and expense reports through the portal. Once approved, those expenses convert automatically to billable and payable items — no manual categorization required.
1

Worker submits expenses

The worker uploads receipts and completes an expense report through the mobile portal. They categorize each item by expense type and attach supporting documentation.
2

Manager reviews and approves

The approving manager reviews the submission against the allowable expense policy for the assignment. They can approve, reject, or send back for correction.
3

Expenses convert to payable and billable items

Approved expenses automatically create the corresponding payable record for worker reimbursement and, where applicable, a billable item on the client invoice — without any manual re-entry.

Integration with payroll and billing

Time and expense data does not sit in an isolated module. Once approved, it flows directly into the payroll and billing cycles without any export, import, or reconciliation step.
Approved timesheets connect directly to the Time & Compliance Engine, which applies your configured pay rules — FLSA overtime, client-specific agreements, state labor laws — automatically before any data reaches payroll. This means your compliance rules run every time, on every timesheet, without your team needing to check them manually. See Time & Compliance Engine for details on rule configuration.

Reduced admin burden

Customers running 2cloudnine report a 60% reduction in timesheet administration — the direct result of replacing manual collection, chasing, and reconciliation with automated capture and workflow. Your operations team spends less time on data entry and more time on exceptions that actually need human judgment.
