New! Create Accounts for Your Clients

The easiest way to refer your clients to QuickBooks Time

Your clients NEED QuickBooks Time. And we’re not just saying that.

According to the American Payroll Association, 80 percent of American companies have hourly employees — and 60 percent of them are still using paper timesheets to track employee hours. That’s 14 million small businesses currently falling prey to paper timesheets.

Five reasons to break the paper chain and switch to automated timesheets

1. Prevent time theft

Paper timesheets leave companies vulnerable to employee time theft and timesheet padding, which costs US employers over $11 billion each year.

2. End “buddy punching”

Over 16 percent of hourly employees admit to “buddy punching” using paper timesheets, costing US employers $373 million each year.

3. Get more accurate time data

Paper timesheets and excel spreadsheets are inaccurate. They’re open to guesstimation and prone to getting misplaced.

4. Decrease payroll processing time

Paper timesheets are inefficient. Collecting timesheets, deciphering employee handwriting, and manually entering time data can add hours to payroll processes.

5. Support labor law compliance

Paper timesheets are a weak defense in employment lawsuits. In a case of “he said, she said” the employee almost always wins.
