Your contractors log the hours they worked. You review and approve. The invoice is written for you — from them to you, with the right rate and totals already in place. No spreadsheets going back and forth, no retyping someone else's numbers.
Business
The whole point is that nobody types the same numbers twice. Hours become an invoice without a human copying them across.
Send an invitation by email. They create their own InvoiceCast account — or link the one they already have — and the two accounts connect.
The contractor records hours against tasks for a period, then submits the timesheet to you when it is ready.
Review the detail, then approve. If something is wrong, reject it with a reason and they can correct and resubmit.
Approval generates an invoice from the contractor to your business, priced at the agreed rate. Both of you have a copy from the moment it exists.
They never join your account and never see your clients, invoices, or anything else you do in InvoiceCast. The link between you covers timesheets and nothing more.
Contractors do not need to pay for anything. They can be on the Free plan and still submit timesheets to you — the Business subscription on your side is what unlocks the workflow.
An invoice generated from an approved timesheet is exempt from plan limits for both of you, and carries no "Powered by InvoiceCast" footer even if your contractor is on the Free plan. Their own client invoicing is unaffected either way.
A contractor who works for three businesses has one login and three separate connections. Their work for you is invisible to the others, and their own invoicing stays entirely separate from all of it.
Sending a timesheet back requires a written reason, so the contractor knows what to change rather than guessing. They edit and resubmit, and the reason stays on the record.
A submitted timesheet cannot be quietly edited, and an approved one is immutable. Every state change is written to an audit log, so the hours you approved are the hours you were invoiced for.
This turns approved hours into an invoice. It is deliberately not a payroll system or a surveillance tool, and the difference is worth being clear about.
InvoiceCast produces the invoice; it does not pay your contractor. No funds move through InvoiceCast, and nothing here calculates source deductions or files anything with a tax authority. You pay them however you already do.
There is no timer, no screenshots, and no activity monitoring. Contractors enter the hours they worked themselves — this is a submission-and-approval record, not a surveillance product.
You can keep a contractor on file for your own records without them joining anything, but timesheets need a linked InvoiceCast account. Invitations last 14 days and can be resent if one lapses.
Contractors and timesheets are part of the Business plan. That applies to your account; the contractors you invite pay nothing. The Business trial runs 14 days with no credit card.
No. Contractors take part on the Free plan. Your Business subscription is what unlocks the timesheet workflow, and it covers both sides of it — they are never asked to upgrade in order to submit hours to you.
No. Contractors keep their own separate account and never become a member of yours. The connection between the two accounts carries timesheets and the resulting invoice — nothing else is visible in either direction.
The contractor does. They performed the work, so the invoice is theirs — it appears in their account as a sent invoice, with your business as the recipient. You receive it by email and can also open it from the timesheet it came from.
Reject it with a reason before approving. The contractor sees why, edits the entries, and resubmits. Once you approve, the timesheet and its invoice are locked — which is the point, since that is the record of what you agreed to pay for.
No. Invoices generated from approved timesheets are exempt from plan limits for both parties, and carry no "Powered by InvoiceCast" footer. A contractor on the Free plan keeps their full allowance for their own clients.
Yes. One person, one login, and a separate connection to each business they work with. Each business sees only its own timesheets, and the contractor's own invoicing stays separate from all of them.
