Tracking Time and Expenses
By Ed. Filed in Business, Computers & Internet, Money |
We’ve been keeping manual time sheets for years and when the bookkeeper is out on sick leave or vacation, I’ve had to help cover her duties. I can tell you with complete confidence that manually keeping time sheets and then having to input them into the computer’s payroll system is incredibly tedious. Not only do you have to duplicate the work involved to input the dates and times, but you also have the risk of making errors from typos or misreading the numbers. You would not believe how many “4s” are printed to look like “7s” and sometimes it is hard to tell between a “5″ and a “6.”
We are seriously considering changing over at the first of the year to an online time sheet system like the one at Atlantic Global. They have a simple and efficient time sheet and expense report system that is on the internet, for easy access by anyone in the company, whether inputting the information at their desk, from home or even from a hotel room if they are traveling on business.
I was mostly interested in automated time sheets, but since they have an expense report system, too, it is doubly attractive to my company.
