Automated Timesheet Reporting Workflow

This workflow is ideal for professionals managing timesheets, including:

• Project Managers: To gain insights into team productivity and hours spent on tasks.
• Team Leaders: To track individual contributions and ensure accountability.
• HR Departments: For accurate payroll processing based on logged hours.
• Freelancers: To generate detailed reports for clients, showcasing work done and hours billed.

It automates the process of sorting, formatting, and sending reports via email, significantly reducing manual effort and errors. Users can easily visualize time spent on different tasks and ensure accurate billing or payroll.
