Powerful features for managing virtual assistants
Manage VA schedules, monitor work as it happens, bill clients accurately by project, and pay virtual assistants in multiple currencies, all from one platform.
Real-time time tracking
Easily track work hours with precision and accuracy for your VA teams. Add pay rates for real-time budgeting and future project planning.
VA timesheet management
As VAs track time, itemized timesheets get generated instantly from tracked hours. From there, VAs and managers can reduce admin time with one-click submissions and approvals that trigger timely payments.
Task and VA project management
See the amount of time your virtual assistants spent on specific tasks and real-time project spending so you can make adjustments mid-project. Combine the power of Hubstaff with an agile project management add-on, Hubstaff Tasks, or other popular project management tools.
Activity monitoring
Understand how focused your virtual assistants are and where workloads or workflows need attention. Hubstaffβs activity monitoring and productivity insights provide a clear breakdown of work and idle time using activity rates, focus time, and time classification by job type.
Optional screenshots and app and URL data provide additional context, while shared access supports transparent performance conversations.
Reporting and analytics for your VAs
Turn tracked VA hours into accurate billing, payroll records, and operational insights. Customize your dashboard with drag-and-drop widgets for billable hours, earnings, and other key metrics across locations and time zones. Choose from 20+ detailed reports, including Time and Activity, Apps and URLs, and Payments. For deeper analysis, workforce analytics helps you examine utilization, capacity, and costs, while detailed records support client reporting and audits.
Automated payroll
Simplify paying your virtual assistants with integrated time and payroll tracking. Use our payroll processing features to set custom pay rates for each VA, ensuring accurate and streamlined payments. Pay employees directly from Hubstaff via popular payment integrations with their preferred payroll app, in their local currency.
Shift scheduling and time off requests
Create new or recurring shifts for each of your VAs for round-the-clock coverage. Then, set up alerts for missed, late, or abandoned shifts. You can also add paid or unpaid time off policies, break policies, and shift schedules, and approve VA time off requests for better shift planning.
Access control and security
Hubstaffβs guiding principles are built on transparency, access, and control. You have full autonomy over how Hubstaffβ is configured for your team. You can also set role-based permissions to protect sensitive data and secure the storage of activity logs. Hubstaff can be centrally deployed for contractors working on company-owned devices to run automatic tracking and maintain consistent time records; no VA timer required. Hubstaff also helps companies meet HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 compliance requirements.
