BUILT FOR DCAA AUDITS

Every DCAA timekeeping rule, enforced by software.

Compliance shouldn't depend on your team remembering the rules. Hour Timesheet enforces them at the platform level — daily.

Daily Time Entry

DCAA expectation: DCAA expects employees to record their time daily — not at week-end.

How Hour Timesheet handles it: Hour Timesheet sends daily reminders, locks weekly batch entry, and timestamps every record at the moment of entry.

Supervisor Approval (2-Day Rule)

DCAA expectation: Supervisors must approve timecards within two business days of period close.

How Hour Timesheet handles it: Built-in approval workflow with automatic escalation and reminders. Approvals are timestamped and immutable.

No Erasures, Full Audit Trail

DCAA expectation: Every change to a timecard must be logged with who, when, and why.

How Hour Timesheet handles it: Hour Timesheet stores an append-only edit log with the original value, the new value, the reason, and the user — for the life of the record.

Segregation of Duties

DCAA expectation: The person entering time cannot also approve it. The person approving cannot also process payroll on their own time.

How Hour Timesheet handles it: Enforced at the role level. The platform refuses configurations that violate SoD — auditors don't need to ask, the system already said no.

Labor Distribution Accuracy

DCAA expectation: Time must be charged accurately to the right contract, task, and cost code — every hour, every day.

How Hour Timesheet handles it: Multi-level cost coding (contract → task → CLIN → labor category) with hard-stop validation against contract ceilings and authorized charge codes.

Compliant System Documentation

DCAA expectation: You must be able to hand auditors a written description of how your timekeeping system enforces compliance.

How Hour Timesheet handles it: Hour Timesheet ships pre-built compliant system documentation. Update your company name, attach to your audit response, done.

Audit-ready, day one.
