4mystaff does not work your clients’ files — it keeps track of the people who do. See each team member’s hours per client file, billable utilisation, the peaks around statutory deadlines, and a leave plan that never leaves a file uncovered. The same entries satisfy the working-time record required by the applicable working-time rules.
Timesheets per client file
Everyone logs hours against the client file they worked on. You finally see how much time each client in the portfolio really takes. Set up for the UK: working-time records follow local working-time regulations — a per-employee record of the hours actually worked.
The “Timesheets per client file” flow keeps the hours, approvals and history you need for overtime limits and leave entitlements and for an inspection by the local labour inspectorate.
Staffing for deadline peaks
Plan the team around statutory reporting deadlines, adding shifts where the workload demands it. Nobody drifts past their working-time limits. Set up for the UK: working-time records follow local working-time regulations — a per-employee record of the hours actually worked.
The “Staffing for deadline peaks” flow keeps the hours, approvals and history you need for overtime limits and leave entitlements and for an inspection by the local labour inspectorate.
Utilisation and billable hours
Billable and non-billable hours compared per person and per month. Free capacity, and the case for the next hire, becomes obvious. Set up for the UK: working-time records follow local working-time regulations — a per-employee record of the hours actually worked.
The “Utilisation and billable hours” flow keeps the hours, approvals and history you need for overtime limits and leave entitlements and for an inspection by the local labour inspectorate.
Team leave calendar
Leave is approved against the deadline calendar, so no client file is left without an owner. Remaining entitlement updates itself. Set up for the UK: working-time records follow local working-time regulations — a per-employee record of the hours actually worked.
The “Team leave calendar” flow keeps the hours, approvals and history you need for overtime limits and leave entitlements and for an inspection by the local labour inspectorate.
Role-based access and audit trail
Each employee sees only the HR data their role allows, with 2FA at sign-in and a full log of who accessed what. Set up for the UK: working-time records follow local working-time regulations — a per-employee record of the hours actually worked.
The “Role-based access and audit trail” flow keeps the hours, approvals and history you need for overtime limits and leave entitlements and for an inspection by the local labour inspectorate.
Frequently asked questions
How do I track how many hours each client file consumes?
Every clocked interval carries a client and a work type, so the monthly report shows hours per file and per person. Compare actual consumption against the agreed fee and the loss-making files surface immediately — usually the ones taken on years ago and never repriced.
How do I separate billable from internal hours?
Activities are flagged billable or internal, and the utilisation report gives the billable share per person and per team. That is how you see how much time goes into correspondence, rework and admin before you hire another person.
