No one enjoys filling out timesheets, but for many employees, the frustration goes deeper than just the paperwork.
Outdated systems, manual processes, and clunky interfaces are more than a nuisance; they create inefficiency, inaccuracy, and low morale across entire teams.
According to recent data, over one-third of time tracking systems are outdated, leaving employees struggling with tools that no longer fit modern business operations.
Even worse, 80% of companies still using paper time tracking systems report needing to correct 80% of the timesheets they receive.
That’s not just manual inconvenience; it’s wasted costs.
When employees find a system slow or confusing, they delay submissions, guess entries, or skip updates altogether.
The result? Incomplete data, payroll errors, and endless correction cycles that frustrate finance teams and employees alike.
The Ripple Effect on Finance
These inefficiencies don’t stay isolated. Every inaccurate or late submission cascades into finance, where teams are left reconciling errors, adjusting reports, and reprocessing data.
A Deloitte study found that 50% of professionals without automated time tracking systems cite manual data entry and adjustments as the most time-consuming parts of their jobs.
Those lost hours add up, reducing productivity, increasing payroll discrepancies, and hindering financial accuracy.
When finance teams spend their days chasing corrections rather than analysing data, strategic work suffers. Manual processes slow down month-end reporting, skew forecasting, and make compliance unnecessarily complex.
Why Automation Changes Everything
Automation removes the friction that makes time tracking inefficient.
Employees can record their hours quickly and accurately from anywhere, while approvals and validations can occur automatically in the background.
Finance gains immediate visibility into time data, ensuring payroll accuracy and eliminating the need for constant corrections.
Errors drop, reporting speeds up, and teams work with confidence in the numbers.
The user interface also plays a role. You want a system designed with the end user in mind.
