Managing time takes too much time. That’s the ironic case for many companies. Especially, those that manage hourly workers and run weekly or bi-weekly payroll runs. That explains why so many of us let time management slip between the productivity cracks and succumb to inaccuracy or worse. In fact, it’s not even a case of mismanagement of time as it is a case of no time management at all.

According to a recent study by AffinityLife, firms can lose a whopping $50,000 annually per employee due to insufficient tracking of time spent answering client communications. In total, almost 40% of respondents report they never track the time spent reading and answering client emails. If your business model requires running timesheets to determine billable hours – then, Houston, we have a serious problem.

Timesheets are important for more than accurate billings. They also act as a legal document offering protection from litigation by an employee or vendor. And let’s not forget that the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) imposes strict rules regarding your employees’ wages, overtime, and hours.

It’s evident that you can’t properly run a business without having a timesheet as one of your company’s pillar documents.

Obviously, having great timesheet templates is a good start to brining accuracy to your payroll. But, the thing with timesheets is not that they don’t work but that your employees don’t comply. Nobody likes doing timesheets, that’s why many will not do their timesheets every day, even though that tends to increase timesheet accuracy. When using pen and paper timesheets, there is no good way to make sure everybody fills in their timesheets on-time, in a clear manner, free of errors, and “misunderstandings”.

Why don’t people do their timesheets?

1. 1. Timesheets aren’t part of the job description
      

      Obviously, timesheets aren’t fun but neither are most aspects of a job description. We still do them anyway. The timesheet is perceived as something outside the actual job description. Since it’s both a pain and a perceived elective – many procrastinate on it.

   2. Because, math, that’s why
      

      Beyond being just a pain in the you know what, timesheets can trigger cold sweats of the kind you haven’t felt since 10th grade algebra.

As today’s society and world is quickly changing, using the traditional paper timesheet just isn’t going to cut it anymore. A manager can’t keep making changes on paper when he or she must focus on the business, processes, priorities and tasks. As most managers also know, using paper timesheets causes hours to get mixed up, there are delays with submissions and questions about what was actually done.
