Weekly Timesheet Reminder System
A done-for-you everyday business automation built for the Operations Manager, connecting Slack and Google Sheets so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
Every Friday afternoon, the system checks who has and hasn't submitted their weekly timesheet in Gusto, then automatically sends a Slack reminder to anyone still missing one, followed by a direct message from their manager if the timesheet still isn't in by Monday morning before payroll runs.
Hourly and contract staff whose hours are unusually high or low compared to their normal pattern get automatically flagged for a quick manager review before approval, catching data entry mistakes before they hit a paycheck.
Operations teams that once spent Monday mornings tracking down three or four missing timesheets now process payroll on the first try nearly every cycle, with far fewer off-cycle correction runs.

The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
The manual version of this puts the entire workload on an operations manager, who has to juggle phone calls, emails, and spreadsheets just to keep things moving.
With this automation
- Interview scheduling without email ping-pong
- New hire paperwork and account setup before day one
- Certification and license expiration alerts
- Timesheet and time-off workflows that route themselves
