Capabilities
Turn logged hours into real numbers
Belvak makes logging time quick enough that your team actually does it, then turns those hours into the cost and margin figures you need to run the business.
Log time in seconds
Day and week views built for quick manual entry. Pick a project or maintenance contract, type the hours, add a note. No timers to start, stop, and forget.
Weekly timesheets with sign-off
Each person submits their week when it is done. Submitted weeks lock automatically, and a manager can reopen one when something needs fixing.
A team view for managers
See everyone's week side by side, spot missing timesheets at a glance, and follow up before reporting time, not after.
Labor cost on every project
Every hour carries the employee's real hourly cost, so projects, contracts, and clients show labor cost and margin without a spreadsheet.
How it works in practice
From logged hours to real margins
Logging time is fast and low-friction, and every hour flows straight into the cost and margin on the work it belongs to.
Logging time
A timesheet your team will actually fill in
Logging time is a ten second job: pick the work, type the hours, add a note. The week view totals every day, and submitting a week locks it so reported time stays final.
- Log hours against projects, maintenance contracts, or internal work
- Notes on every entry keep the context for later review
- Hours are capped at 24 per person per day
- Submitted weeks lock, and only a manager can reopen them
Profitability
See what every project really costs
Each logged hour is priced from the employee's actual compensation, so labor cost builds up in real time. Open any project and the margin is already there.
- Labor cost and margin on projects, maintenance contracts, and clients
- Hourly cost comes from each employee's pay, with an optional per employee override
- Internal work is tracked but stays out of project margins
- Cost and margin figures are visible only to people allowed to see employee data

Labor cost rolls into project, contract, and client margins automatically. No exports, no spreadsheet.
FAQ
Common questions about time tracking in Belvak
Does Belvak have a start and stop timer?
No. Belvak uses fast manual entry: pick the work, type the hours, add a note. For service teams logging a few blocks of work a day, that is quicker than babysitting a timer, and the 24 hour daily cap keeps totals realistic.
Can employees see each other's hours?
No. Employees log and see only their own time. The team view, and every cost and margin figure, is visible only to people who have permission to view employee data.
How does Belvak calculate labor cost?
Each employee's compensation is converted to an hourly rate based on their expected weekly hours, 40 by default. You can also set an explicit hourly cost per employee. Every logged hour is priced at the rate that applied when it was logged, so historical margins stay accurate.
What can time be logged against?
Projects, maintenance contracts, or internal work such as admin time. Project and contract hours feed profitability and utilization. Internal hours are tracked for the employee but kept out of project margins.
What happens after a timesheet is submitted?
The week locks, so entries can no longer be added or edited. Someone with approval permission can reopen the week if a correction is needed. Optional Monday email reminders go to anyone who has not submitted the previous week.
Does time tracking change what employees get paid?
No. Payroll runs on each employee's salary and pay schedule. Time tracking feeds cost and margin reporting, so you can see whether projects are profitable without tying pay to logged hours.
