COUNTA App v1.6.1 - March 12th, 2026

Introducing alternate payroll week start support, mobile punch in/out, and more accurate reimbursement insights

Alternate Timesheet Week Start Day

What is it?

A new configuration that allows agencies using a payroll week other than Monday–Sunday to set their preferred week start day. The mobile app now fully respects this setting, ensuring all weekly views, totals, and alerts align with the agency’s payroll period.

 

Why does it matter?

Previously, all employees saw a Monday–Sunday timesheet week—causing confusion and inaccurate weekly totals for agencies with Saturday–Friday or other payroll cycles. This update ensures that timesheets, totals, navigation, and alerts perfectly match each agency’s actual payroll rules.

 

How does it work?

  • Agencies set the first day of the week in Setup Files › Setup Options › Timesheet Options › First Day of Week on Timesheet.
  • The app automatically updates:
    • Week calendar strip
    • Week totals and week boundaries
    • Back/forward week navigation
    • Date selector alignment
    • Grouping of entries and Missing Time alerts
  • The Weekly Summaries API now returns data using the correct boundaries.

When is it needed?

  • Any agency not using a Monday–Sunday payroll week.
  • Organizations wanting consistent timesheet reporting between desktop and mobile.
  • Employees who rely on accurate weekly hour totals and Missing Time alerts.

Punch In / Punch Out (Daily Working Times)

What is it?

A new mobile experience that allows hourly employees to punch in, start and end breaks, and punch out directly from the app—capturing timestamps in real time with no manual edits.

 

Why does it matter?

Previously, hourly staff could only punch in/out from the web application, limiting real-time accuracy. Capturing timestamps in the moment improves compliance, reduces errors, and ensures cleaner payroll and job costing data.

 

How does it work?

  • Punch In at the start of the workday
  • Break Start / Break End for one or multiple breaks
  • Punch Out at the end of the day
  • All timestamps are immediate and cannot be edited in the mobile app
  • Any corrections must be made on the web by authorized users
  • All mobile punches sync directly to the web’s Daily Working Times module

When is it needed?

  • Agencies using Daily Working Times for hourly workers
  • Employees required to punch in/out for compliance or payroll
  • Teams that prefer real-time, immutable time capture for audit accuracy

Expense Claim Dashboard: “Awaiting Reimbursement” Stat Correction

What is it?

A fix to improve accuracy in the “Awaiting Reimbursement” metric on the Expense Claim dashboard.

 

Why does it matter?

Previously, the dashboard counted all unpaid claims, including those still awaiting manager approval overstating the amount genuinely pending reimbursement. The corrected calculation now reflects only the claims actually ready to be paid out.

 

How does it work?

The dashboard now includes only claims where:
  • Status = Manager Approved or Approval Not Required, AND
  • Payment status = Unpaid

When is it needed?

  • Finance teams tracking outstanding reimbursements
  • Agencies wanting accurate visibility into claims owed to employees
  • Any user monitoring reimbursement timelines and payment expectations
