Built to support DCAA timekeeping requirements for government contractors: contemporaneous clock in/out, daily certification, supervisor approval, and an audit trail that can't be edited after the fact. Built by R3 Digital Sciences, a defense contractor, because we needed DCAA compliant timekeeping ourselves — and we use it every day. From $5 per user per month.
No credit card required · 30-day free trial · 5-seat minimum
General-purpose timekeeping software treats compliance as an afterthought. That's a real audit risk for a government contractor — and a lot of manual cleanup for whoever owns timekeeping. We know because we needed it ourselves: R3 Digital Sciences built ComplianTime after finding that DCAA compliant timekeeping tools were often cumbersome to use. We wanted compliance without the friction.
Any size firm billing labor hours to federal contracts under DCAA timekeeping rules.
Track labor by project and cost pool without chasing down paper timesheets.
Total time accounting that matches how your books are already organized.
An audit trail you can hand an auditor directly, with no reconstruction needed.
Built from the ground up for government contractors who need to stay audit-ready.
Employees clock in and out per project with a single click. Time is recorded the moment they click — not later when they remember. Supports switching projects mid-day with automatic prompts.
Employees review and certify their daily timesheet before it goes to their approver. Pay period certification rolls up the full period. Both levels of certification are captured with a timestamped audit trail.
Approvers review certified timesheets and approve or return them for correction. Rejections require a written reason. The system tracks every step from submission to lock.
Every organization starts with six standard cost pools — Direct Labor, Fringe, Overhead, G&A, Leave, and Unallowable — the DCAA total-time-accounting categories your accounting team already uses. Every hour goes to the right pool automatically.
Every clock-in, clock-out, correction, and certification is recorded with a timestamp that cannot be changed. Corrections create new entries rather than overwriting originals. Your audit trail is always intact.
Bring in your employees, projects, and historical time with a guided import wizard — it creates users and projects inline as it goes, and former employees can come in without using a seat. Get your whole team set up quickly instead of one-by-one.
Real-time view of who is clocked in and what they're working on right now — exactly what a DCAA floor check asks for, available on demand instead of reconstructed after the fact.
Forgot to clock in? Manual entries and corrections are supported — always with a mandatory reason, and always visually distinguished from live-recorded time so the distinction is never lost.
Browse any past pay period, not just the current one. Every certification, approval, and correction stays attached to the period it belongs to.
Enter your company name, email, and password. Once you confirm your email, your organization is ready, with default cost pools and system projects pre-configured.
Create user accounts for each employee and assign approvers. Create your contract projects and assign employees to them, or import both from a CSV.
Employees clock in to a project, clock out when done, and certify their timesheet at the end of each day. Approvers review and approve. Done.
ComplianTime is designed around the DCAA timekeeping requirements, not adapted to them after the fact. Every design decision starts with the audit question: can we prove this? R3 Digital Sciences built it because we needed a tool for DCAA compliant timekeeping ourselves, and every feature reflects that.
