Automated Netchex Missing Timesheet Chase
Every day in the run-up to payroll, WebRun opens Netchex, finds employees with missing or incomplete timesheet entries for the current pay period, logs each one to Airtable, and emails the manager a reminder listing who still needs to submit.
How do I chase missing Netchex timesheets before payroll runs?
WebRun checks Netchex every day ahead of the payroll cutoff for employees with missing or incomplete timesheet entries. It logs each one to Airtable and emails the manager a reminder listing who still needs to submit, flagging anyone within 2 days of the cutoff, so payroll never gets delayed by a missing timesheet.
- Missing timesheets get caught days before the cutoff
- Managers get a daily reminder listing exactly who to chase
- Payroll delays from missing hours become rare
Built for Payroll administrators · line managers · HR teams · hourly workforce employers

Questions, answered
Does it contact the employee directly?
No. WebRun emails the manager only. Chasing the employee to submit their timesheet stays a conversation your team has.
Does it submit or edit timesheets?
No, it only reads submission status from Netchex. Entering or approving hours stays with the employee and manager.
What happens once a timesheet is submitted?
It reads the live status in Netchex each day, so a submitted timesheet drops off the reminder automatically.
