Connect Timely time tracking with Wingspan worker pay

Connect Timely with Wingspan to link reviewed hours and worker pay. Locked project hours sync to work logs, while worker records keep their Contractor or W-2 type. Approving a contractor work log creates one amount owed, with separate payment approval. Client bills use their own rates and billing path.

Plan your integration

Timesheet approval and locking rules

Choose which Timely users sync. Each Wingspan record keeps its Contractor or W-2 type. Contractors use contractor forms and bills. W-2 workers use pay statements and payroll with withholding. Keep client rates separate from worker pay rates.

Rate card rules and pay terms

Decide which tool sets your rates. Wingspan work templates hold agreed pay rates for worker jobs. Timely manages billable rates for clients and project budgets. This keeps worker pay and client bills clear.
