DCAA Compliant Time Tracking
Why DCAA Compliance Matters for Your Business
If your company holds government contracts, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) can audit your timekeeping records at any time. A failed audit doesn’t just mean paperwork headaches — it can result in disallowed costs, contract disputes, or being barred from future government work.
Most time tracking tools weren’t built with this in mind. Hour Timesheet was.
What DCAA-Compliant Timekeeping Actually Requires
The DCAA has specific standards for how employee time must be recorded and documented. Hour Timesheet is designed to meet every one of them:
Daily Time Entry — Employees must record time on the day it is worked, not retroactively at the end of the week. Hour Timesheet enforces this with daily entry prompts and timestamps every submission.
Employee Certification — Each timesheet must be certified by the employee submitting it. Our built-in electronic signature and certification workflow creates an auditable record for every submission.
Supervisor Approval — Timesheets must be reviewed and approved by a supervisor before being finalized. Hour Timesheet’s approval workflow ensures no timesheet is processed without a manager sign-off — and logs the approver and timestamp.
Audit Trail — Every change made to a timesheet — edits, rejections, resubmissions — must be logged with a reason. Hour Timesheet maintains a complete, tamper-evident audit history that you can produce on demand.
Labor Distribution by Cost Code — Time must be allocated to the correct direct or indirect cost categories (e.g., direct labor, overhead, G&A). Hour Timesheet syncs directly with your QuickBooks job codes and service items to ensure accurate labor distribution.
Leave Tracking — Paid leave, sick time, and other absences must be tracked and accounted for separately from direct project labor. Hour Timesheet includes a full leave management module with approval workflows built in.
