Every houron the record,and signed for.

PMA hours still run on email chains and hand-written sheets, and the university is moving TA hours online. Timeslip logs the hours, gets them approved, and hands your office one PDF.

How it works

  1. The student

    Logs PMA and TA hours

    Both kinds in one place, and TA hours counted against the month's cap. Weekends and holidays can be logged too.

  2. The lecturer

    Approves in a minute

    The lecturer opens the sheet and approves it there. Anything worth a second look is flagged, and an unopened sheet cannot be approved.

  3. Your office

    Sees every sheet on one page

    Every sheet in one place when it is due. One PDF at the end, and a reminder to whoever is late.

03

What you get

Caught before anyone signs

Duplicates, overlaps, over eight hours.

Nothing to install

A website, built for a phone first.

An audit trail

Who did it and when, never edited.

Sealed when it is signed

The finished PDF carries a digital signature. Change anything in it afterwards and the signature no longer verifies.

Your school's own database

A test proves one office cannot see another's.

Privacy

Data stays here

A server in Johannesburg. A local mail host.

No trackers

Nothing is loaded from anyone else's servers, and nothing about you is measured.

Consent, then deletion

A student ticks a box before submitting, and signatures are erased once the sheet is done.

Only the right people

A student's sheets reach them and your office.

Your school's hours, sheets and signed documents stay in its own database.

Terms, the privacy notice and the PAIA manual.

05

What it will not do

It does not pay anybody.

  • Recover a sheet that missed the deadline.
  • Sign you in with a Microsoft account.
  • Track anyone.
