Alpha-Ledger

The time tracking module within Project-Alpha. Track time, manage pay rates, approve hours, and run reports — all within Project-Alpha.

What Alpha-Ledger Does

Alpha-Ledger handles timekeeping and pay workflow inside Project-Alpha. Server-authoritative timers, approval workflows, and pay rate management — without the overhead of a full payroll system.

⏱️

Live Time Tracking

Employees clock in and out with server-authoritative timers. Track breaks, manage active sessions, and capture every minute accurately — no offline clock tricks, no manual edits.

Approval Workflows

Administrators review, approve, and freeze time entries with atomic precision. Approved hours lock the rate, duration, and amount — then flow directly into pay accruals.

💰

Pay Rate Management

Set business defaults, employee-specific rates, or project-level overrides. Rate precedence is automatic — project override, then employee rate, then business default.

🔗

Built into Project-Alpha

Alpha-Ledger is a native module of Project-Alpha. Time entries, projects, people, and pay data live in the same platform — no separate system or integration required.

🔐

Security First

AES-256-GCM encryption for credentials, mandatory admin TOTP, HttpOnly session cookies, CSRF protection, and rate-limited login. Built secure from the ground up.

📊

Reports & Exports

Generate clean PDF reports of approved hours, pay accruals, and project summaries. Export data for accounting, payroll processing, or client billing.

Built for Small Teams That Need Real Time Tracking

Alpha-Ledger is designed for businesses with one to five employees who need more than a spreadsheet but less than a full enterprise payroll system.

🔧

Trades & Field Services

Track time on job sites, assign hours to projects, and know exactly what to pay your crew each period.

🏗️

Contractors & Subcontractors

Keep accurate records of hours worked per project. Approve time before it becomes pay, and export clean reports for billing.

💻

Small Agencies & Studios

Track billable and non-billable time across clients. Connect to Project-Alpha to sync project and financial data automatically.

📋

Any Business with Hourly Employees

If you pay people by the hour and want accurate, approved, exportable time records without a full payroll system — Alpha-Ledger fits.
