Why use a web connector?
1. Auto-sync QuickBooks data into Hour Timesheet.
Because Hour Timesheet offers easy QuickBooks integration, manual entry of data is not required in your Hour Timesheet account. The web connector will successfully auto-populate all of your data from your company QuickBooks Desktop file.
– Customer/Job list
– Payroll Items
– Service Items
– Class
– Employees
– 1099’s
2. Auto-populate employee timecard data in QuickBooks.
All timesheet details import and populate the employee timecard in QuickBooks making it simple to process your payroll and create your customer invoices. The QuickBooks timecard includes:
– Employee time by job code and by day
– Comments entered by users in Hour Timesheet
– Leave (PTO, Sick, Holiday, etc..) entered on the Hour Timesheet
NOTE: The Web Connector is designed to access only one company file on a Windows desktop computer. If you have multiple companies and/or Hour Timesheet accounts that sync with QuickBooks, you will need a separate web connector file for each account and/our admin user.
