In today’s day and age, you might think that everything a business does is automated. It might surprise you then that many companies still do their employee’s time tracking manually. Are you one of them?
According to the American Payroll Association, and from our experience at Complete Payroll, companies can lose a lot of money when they choose to process payroll manually.
If you are one of the many companies that time track manually, here are some reasons you may want to reconsider:
People make mistakes
Human error is of great concern when it comes to accurate time keeping. The more complicated a task or the more employees an organization has, the more likely someone is to make a mistake along the way.
People lie
In an ideal world everyone would have integrity and be honest. This just isn’t so. Whether it’s a simple Employee A punching in for Employee B who is running late or whether it’s more complicated in employees embellishing their hours, all of the extra money adds up and falls to the bottom line.
Paperwork takes time
Data collection and prepping time sheets and recording takes time! According to studies conducted by the American Payroll Association and Robert Half Associates, automating a company's time and attendance reduces payroll preparation by up to 80%.
Overall, companies who have not changed from manual time keeping to a labor management software system are missing an opportunity to save money and be more profitable.
