Time and attendance reporting with client sign-off
Part of IT Staffing & Engineer Dispatch. Last reviewed October 2026.
Quick answer
What is Time and Attendance Reporting?
Time and attendance reporting for field engineers is a verifiable record of when each engineer arrived, how long they worked, and when they left, confirmed by a named person at your site. Deploris captures the times, applies the agreed rates, collects your sign-off, and bills from that record, so invoices reconcile to evidence.
WHAT THE WORK COVERS
What Time and Attendance Reporting includes.
- 01Arrival and departure times for each engineer, per visit and per day for multi-day projects
- 02Breakdown of billable time against the agreed scope: on-site work, waiting time, and any agreed travel time
- 03Sign-off by your site contact or approver, captured at the end of the visit or day
- 04Recording of overruns and the approval obtained before extra time was worked
- 05Reference fields such as PO number, cost center, ticket ID, and site code for your finance team
- 06Exportable records that support your invoice reconciliation and audit trail
HOW WE DELIVER IT
How it is delivered.
- 1
Set the rules in the scope
The written scope states the billing basis, minimum booking, rate treatment of waiting time and travel, and who may sign off. Engagement-based pricing with no lock-in contracts applies.
- 2
Record times during the visit
The engineer logs arrival, breaks where relevant, and departure, and notes any delay caused by access, parts, or approvals.
- 3
Collect sign-off
Your site contact confirms the times and completion at the end of the visit. If anything is disputed, the note is recorded on the spot, not weeks later.
- 4
Reconcile and invoice
Signed records are matched to the dispatch and scope, and invoices reference them with your PO or cost center. Overruns appear only if they were approved.
