AI-Powered Timesheet Validation

Automate Timesheet Validation
Before Payroll Delays Happen

Continuously monitor, extract, validate, and process vendor timesheets using AI-driven workflows, configurable business rules, and automated email ingestion.

Why Traditional Timesheet Processing Fails

Manual validation and batch-based processing create delays, payroll risks, and operational bottlenecks.

Late Error Detection

Errors are usually discovered close to payroll runs, leaving little time for corrections and causing unnecessary escalation cycles.

Manual Validation Work

Teams spend hours reviewing employee IDs, project codes, overtime limits, and duplicate submissions manually.

Multiple Vendor Formats

Vendors submit timesheets in different templates, file formats, and layouts, making standardisation difficult.

How it works?
AI Timesheet Validation Platform

Platform Architecture & Solution Approach

Built using an event-driven microservices architecture for continuous processing, scalability, and no-code rule management.

Continuous Processing

Every incoming timesheet immediately triggers an independent validation pipeline without waiting for batch cycles.

Stateless Services

Each microservice independently handles ingestion, extraction, and validation while persisting data centrally.

No-Code Rule Management

Validation rules are configurable from the Admin Portal without redeployment or engineering changes.

AI-Assisted Extraction

Template-based extraction combined with AI fallback ensures accurate parsing across multiple timesheet layouts.

Email Listener Processing Flow

The platform continuously monitors a dedicated inbox and automatically validates all incoming submissions.

1

Email Detection

The IMAP Listener continuously scans the platform inbox for unread emails with supported attachments.

2

Sender Validation

Incoming sender addresses are matched against the Authorised Sender Registry to identify the vendor.

3

Attachment Extraction

Supported files such as PDF, Excel, CSV, JPG, and PNG are extracted and queued for processing.

4

Validation & Notifications

The validation engine applies all rule layers and automatically sends PASS, WARNING, or FAIL notifications.

Mandatory Validation Rules

Built-in compliance rules ensure payroll integrity and cannot be overridden.

Rule Condition Action
Max Daily Hours Daily hours greater than 8 FAIL + Discrepancy
Max Weekly Hours Weekly total greater than 40 FAIL + Discrepancy
Duplicate Timesheet Overlapping employee date range Block Processing
Invalid Employee ID ID not found in employee registry FAIL + Alert
Unregistered Sender Email not mapped to active vendor Reject + Admin Alert

And Many More.

Vendor Onboarding Workflow

Configure vendors, templates, projects, employees, and notifications through a guided onboarding process.

Create Vendor Profile

Register vendor details, billing contacts, and assign a unique Vendor ID.

Register Authorised Sender Emails

Map approved sender email addresses used for timesheet submissions.

Upload Extraction Templates

Configure field mappings for employee IDs, dates, project codes, and hours.

Configure Rules & Projects

Set overtime policies, project limits, billing thresholds, and approval requirements.

Run End-to-End Validation Test

Submit a sample timesheet to verify onboarding configuration before activation.

Business Benefits

Improve payroll accuracy, reduce operational overhead, and accelerate validation cycles.

Reduced Payroll Risk

Detect discrepancies early before they impact payroll processing or compliance.

Continuous Validation

Process documents immediately instead of waiting for end-of-cycle batch validation.

Automated Notifications

Instantly notify submitters and payroll teams about discrepancies, warnings, and approvals.

Modernise Your Timesheet Validation Process

Eliminate manual validation bottlenecks with AI-powered extraction, configurable rules, and automated email ingestion.
