Automatic payroll feed
Approved hours logged in Wrike flow straight into the payroll system on a set schedule, matched to the right employee and pay period, instead of someone exporting a timesheet report and re-entering it.
How Wrike's Time Tracking Actually Works
Wrike lets people log time against a task either with a live timer or by entering hours manually after the fact, and that data rolls up into timesheets and resource reports at the project and account level. We build the automation that gets logged time out of Wrike and into payroll, utilization, or billing systems without someone exporting and matching it by hand.
What's Built Into Wrike
Time can be logged two ways: a timer widget that runs while someone works, or a manual entry after the fact against a specific task. Teams on the right plan can route logged time through an approval step before it counts toward reporting, and resource managers get utilization views showing who's over or under capacity across active projects.
For a single team watching its own workload, that's often enough on its own. It gets harder once the hours logged in Wrike need to inform something outside Wrike.
Where the Data Gets Stuck
Wrike's own reports show time logged inside Wrike. They don't know what your payroll system pays out, and they don't blend with utilization data from a different tool your resourcing team might also run. Someone usually ends up exporting a timesheet report and reconciling it against whatever system actually handles pay or capacity planning.
That reconciliation step is exactly where we build a direct sync instead: logged hours flow out of Wrike on their own schedule, matched to the right person and project, without a spreadsheet in between.
What We Build on Top of Wrike Time Tracking
02
Blended utilization reporting
Resource managers see one real view of capacity that combines Wrike's logged hours with data from whatever other tool handles resourcing for teams that don't run on Wrike, instead of checking two separate dashboards.

Where does your time data stall after it leaves Wrike?
Payroll, utilization, billing, or somewhere else entirely, tell us where the manual step sits and we'll scope what it takes to remove it.
Let's talk
Logging time in Wrike and still reconciling it by hand somewhere else?
Tell us what happens to a logged hour after it leaves Wrike, payroll, a utilization report, an invoice. We'll work out whether that's a quick sync or a bigger project. And if time tracking isn't your actual bottleneck, the same question is worth asking about whatever else still runs on manual export.
Let's talk →Questions people ask
Does Wrike track time automatically?
No, and that's worth knowing before you plan a workflow around it: someone has to actually start a timer or type in hours after the fact. Wrike has no way of inferring how long a task actually took.
Can time entries in Wrike go through an approval step?
On plans that support it, yes, logged hours can sit in an approval workflow before they count toward official reporting rather than landing straight on a timesheet.
Does Wrike automatically turn logged time into an invoice?
Not beyond its own internal reports. Turning hours logged in Wrike into an actual invoice inside a billing system is exactly the kind of custom automation we build against Wrike's API, it isn't something that ships out of the box.
Which Wrike plan includes time tracking?
That's shifted between tiers before, so rather than quote a tier here that might be stale by the time you read it, wrike.com/pricing is where we'd point a client for the current breakdown of time tracking and approvals.
