Today in Redmine
Billing depends on what someone remembered to log.
Time gets logged at the end of the week – or not at all. Spreadsheets carry the billing numbers, but they never quite match what Redmine says. Approvals happen by email, with no audit trail. Before every billing cycle or compliance review, someone spends two days reconstructing data that should have been captured at the moment work happened.
In plain words
What is the Redmineflux Timesheet Plugin?
The Timesheet Plugin is a structured time logging and approval solution built natively inside Redmine. It captures every hour against a real task, routes entries through configurable approval workflows, and produces filterable reports for billing, payroll, or compliance – without requiring a separate tool or data export.
Time data that holds up.
The Timesheet Plugin puts a governance layer over every hour logged in Redmine. Each time entry ties to a real task, every approval stage is traceable, and the complete record is available on demand – not assembled from memory or spreadsheets before an audit.
Teams that moved off spreadsheets consolidated reconciliation overhead, improved billing accuracy, and gained the audit trail their compliance teams had always needed. The data lives where the work lives – inside Redmine.
What your team gains
Specific shifts, not vague benefits.
Click any shift to see what changes in the product.
01
Billable accuracy without reconstruction.
Every hour is captured directly against the task it belongs to, which eliminates the end-of-week reconstruction that spreadsheet-based teams rely on. Billing reports reflect what actually happened, not what someone remembered a week later.
02
Real-time visibility into effort and capacity.
Project managers see how time distributes across projects and team members without waiting on manual updates. Resource decisions use current data rather than weekly estimates – improving capacity planning and sprint forecasting.
03
Audit-ready reports, produced on demand.
Filter by project, user, date range, or activity type and export to CSV in one click. Group by any dimension to produce the view your billing, payroll, or compliance team needs. No preparation required before a review.
04
Lower overhead for every approval stage.
Approval workflows route automatically through configured role assignments. Managers review and approve without chasing team members for submissions, and every action logs with a timestamp – the approval chain runs without email.
05
Delivery decisions backed by verified data.
Timeline estimates and budget reviews become more reliable when the underlying effort data is complete, approved, and structured – not estimated or reconstructed after the fact. Exec review means opening a report, not rebuilding one.

Frequently asked
Questions before you install.
The questions teams actually ask before adopting Timesheet. If yours isn't here, check pricing or contact support.
How do I track time in Redmine using the Timesheet Plugin?
Log time directly on any Redmine issue using the native time entry form. The Timesheet Plugin captures those entries, displays them in weekly and monthly views, and routes them through your configured approval workflow. No separate tool is required – redmine time tracking happens inside the same environment where work is managed.
Is the Redmine Timesheet Plugin compatible with all Redmine versions?
The Redmineflux Timesheet Plugin is tested and maintained against all Redmine versions. Compatibility is verified with each plugin update.
What report types does the Timesheet plugin provide?
Two report types are available: Submission/Approval Report and Timelogs Report. Both support filtering by project, user, activity, and date range, and can be grouped by any dimension using the Group By option. Reports export to CSV for payroll, billing, or compliance handoffs.
Can approval workflows be configured differently per project?
Yes. Approval schemas are configurable at the project level. You can define one or more approval levels with role-based permissions at each stage. Different projects within the same Redmine instance can run entirely different Redmine timesheet approval configurations, which allows teams to enforce the governance structure appropriate to each project's requirements.
How much does the Timesheet Plugin cost?
$499 one-time for self-hosted – 1 year of support included. Support renewal after 1 year 30% of plugin price. Bundle with the Project Management Bundle ($2,456 one-time) for Timesheet + Gantt Chart + Custom Dashboard + Agile Board + Knowledge Base + Issue Template + more.
