Five reasons to break the paper chain and switch to automated timesheets:

​

1. Prevent time theft -- Paper timesheets leave companies vulnerable to employee time theft and timesheet padding, which costs US employers over $11 billion each year.

2. End “buddy punching” -- Over 16 percent of hourly employees admit to “buddy punching” using paper timesheets, costing US employers $373 million each year.

3. Get more accurate time data -- Paper timesheets and excel spreadsheets are inaccurate. They’re open to guesstimation and prone to getting misplaced.

4. Decrease payroll processing time -- Paper timesheets are inefficient. Collecting timesheets, deciphering employee handwriting, and manually entering time data can add hours to payroll processes.

5. Support labor law compliance -- Paper timesheets are a weak defense in employment lawsuits. In a case of “he said, she said” the employee almost always wins.
