1. Timesheets and spreadsheets are costing your business MUCH more than you may realize.

You simply can’t do business without your amazing people, its no surprise then that labor costs are also the single largest expense for the majority of today’s businesses. The costs of using archaic employee time tracking systems to manage workforce labor is conservatively estimated to cost an average business over $6,000 per year, per employee! The American Payroll Association reports that employers lose an average of 42 minutes per employee, per day due to estimated, inaccurate labor reported by writing it down after the fact (time sheets or spreadsheets). With an average hourly burden of $25 per employee, a 50 employee business will lose more than $300,000 annually (each and every year) due to inaccurate labor tracking processes. Additionally this estimate does not even account for costly data entry errors or labor-based overhead such as workers comp and liability insurance, and other business expenses directly related to your total payroll costs.

2. Mobility. Employees need anytime, anywhere access for accurate employee time tracking.
