The Benefits of Time and Attendance Software
When it comes to running a business, time is money. And if your employees are still using spreadsheets, handwritten timesheets, or outdated punch clocks to track their hours, your business could be losing more than you think. Manual time tracking might seem simple, but it opens the door to costly errors, compliance risks, and administrative headaches.
Investing in time and attendance software isn’t just about making payroll easier. It’s about boosting accuracy, improving compliance, and uncovering the hidden costs that eat away at your bottom line.
Continue reading to explore why making the switch to an automated time and attendance system like the one available through GMS Connect is one of the smartest moves you can make for your business.
The Hidden Costs of Manual Time Tracking
Manual timekeeping methods are vulnerable to human error, whether it’s an employee forgetting to clock in, a supervisor misreading a timesheet, or a typo during data entry. These mistakes can lead to:
- Inaccurate paychecks
- Compliance issues with wage and hour laws
- Time theft or buddy punching
- Wasted hours fixing timesheet discrepancies
Even minor miscalculations can snowball into thousands of dollars in overpayments, back pay, or penalties. And if your business is ever audited by the Department of Labor or a state agency, inaccurate time records could expose you to serious fines, legal challenges, and reputational damage.
