# Certified Timesheet Tracking

> **Definition:** Certified Timesheet Tracking is a time tracking system that complies with labor laws and government contracting audits, ensuring hours worked are logged accurately and signed electronically.

## In depth

For government contracts (e.g., DCAA compliance), timesheet logging must prove hours worked. Tracking systems must restrict staff back-dating entries, require supervisor digital signatures, and maintain a detailed database audit log of every timesheet correction.

## How ERPStack applies this

We develop certified timesheet modules with built-in DCAA compliance logs, tracking every work log entry and approval event in tamper-proof tables.
