It's Time to Cut Your Losses
The article highlights the costly issue of manual employee timekeeping leading to labor overpayments due to inaccurate time card estimations, quantifies potential annual losses for a 25-employee business, and promotes WorkforceHub's cloud-based TimeWorksPlus solution as an effective tool to automate time tracking, reduce errors, and optimize workforce management.
Are you using a manual employee time and attendance system that fails to ensure the accuracy of timekeeping? If so, you are overpaying for labor. It’s time to cut your losses.
The Cost of Time Card Estimation
You can save on labor costs by eliminating time card estimation. How accurate is memory? When staff members forget to punch in or out and have to log missing punches on their time card several days later, do you think they guesstimate start and end times in your favor? Can you remember your start and end times for the past payroll period? Paying for just a few extra minutes per employee each week can really add up.
If you have 25 employees who estimate their hours with an additional 8 minutes of time for which they were not on the job, you will overpay:
- $184 weekly
- $367 biweekly
- $794 monthly
If you do the math for a whole year, you can really see that you need to stop the bleeding. This is what you would overpay for three entry-level wages:
- $9.00/HR $7800
- $10.00/HR $8667
- $11.00/HR $9529
What could you do with a surplus eight grand a year? Purchase new equipment? Supply additional training? Expand advertising?
