One of the ongoing challenges of any business is keeping track of the time employees work. Proper record-keeping requires much more than simply writing down how many hours your employees work each day. In addition to tracking hours worked each day, a business must also record sick time and overtime, nighttime differentials, commissions, and so on.
Payroll management can be a nightmare, especially if you have ever sifted through time sheets on a Monday morning to determine the payroll for the prior week. You know the headache that entails, as it is not uncommon to spend 3 hours to a half a day sorting through timesheets, and trying to read illegible handwriting. Not to mention, putting aside time sheets that managers forgot to sign or hunting down lost time sheets. You know the importance of getting the time correct in order to pay your employees correctly. That is why you spend the extra effort trying to get the numbers right in the first place or you will risk the chance of underestimating payroll and unhappy employees.
