Timesheet Rounding: Why You Shouldn't Round Employee Punches

Is your organization still rounding employee punches to the nearest 15-minute mark on timesheets? Do you allow employees to manually enter their time on a time card or spreadsheet, resulting in estimations and approximations? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you’re likely paying much more for employee wages, overtime, and lost productivity each and every pay period. With the technology and affordable tools available today, you will want to strongly consider using an automated online time and attendance platform that will conveniently track employee time to the exact minute (no more rounding), eliminating countless hours of overpaid minutes.

4 Features Your Payroll Provider Should Offer

As you may already know, there are many different types of payroll processing: ranging from in-house to outsourcing, to even using a CPA. You’ve probably have heard of many different payroll service companies, but do you know exactly what they do and what they offer? Just like their name suggests, payroll companies ensure that employees are paid on time and that all of the employers stay compliant. Obviously, payroll is more than just writing checks, and a good payroll company will offer more than just that. Depending on the size of the company and the software’s capabilities, there are a variety of different things that payroll companies do for their customers.

Top Reasons Why You Should Switch to an Automated Time and Attendance Software

Tracking your employees’ hours is very important. It offers employers many benefits such as easier, faster, and more accurate payroll processing, more efficient work administrations, better record keeping, and more. According to Wasp Buzz, a survey revealed that 80% of workers admitted to time theft. This is because not using the proper time tracking systems, like using paper time cards, for instance, can lead to “buddy punching”, which contributes to thousands of dollars being lost each year by businesses. The best solution to this problem is to switch to an automated time and attendance tracking system. According to the A merican Payroll Association (APA), 65% of the organizations surveyed said they were either in the process of switching to, or already used, an automated time and attendance software to track their employees’ hours. So what are the benefits of switching to an automated time and attendance software? I’ll tell you.
