Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating data transactions in time recording systems may include receiving, at a client application from a timekeeper, a timekeeper identification. The received timekeeper identification and a request for time entry data associated with the timekeeper may be communicated to a middle-tier application that accesses at least one database to retrieve the requested time entry data and communicated the retrieved time entry data to the client application. The client application may receive the time entry data and store the received data in at least one local memory accessible by the client application. Upon the generation of a new time entry or the modification of an existing time entry at the client application, the time entry data stored in the at least one local memory may be updated. The updated time entry data may be communicated to the middle-tier application to facilitate updating the at least one database.
