Running your business on paper timesheets is a bit like trying to balance on a three-legged stool that’s missing a leg.

At first glance, it looks like it could work. You line it up, take a seat, and as long as you’re concentrating, you can just about keep your balance. But the second you shift your weight, get distracted, or take your eye off the ball, you know exactly what’s going to happen.

You’re going over.

Paper timesheets are no different. While things might seem to tick along okay for a while, the risks are always there.

Unstable and Risky
That missing leg eventually catches you out. Payroll errors creep in, records go missing, and compliance issues pop up when you least expect them. Suddenly, you’re not just wobbling, you’re on the floor cleaning up the mess.

A False Sense of Support
From the outside, the stool still looks like it could hold you. Just like paper timesheets feel “good enough” when the week is running smoothly. But the moment payday comes around, the cracks show. That’s when you realise it can’t actually support your business.

Stressful and Inefficient
Instead of focusing on the important stuff, you find yourself scrambling to keep things upright. Double-checking times, chasing missing sheets, trying to make sense of smudged handwriting. It’s frustrating, it’s stressful, and it’s time you’ll never get back.

Now picture this. You fix that missing leg. Suddenly, the stool is solid, reliable, and you don’t have to think twice about sitting down. That’s exactly what happens when you switch from paper to a digital system like mytimesheet.co.nz.

Everything becomes stable. Hours are accurate, payroll runs smoothly, and you can finally get back to running your business without the constant fear of tipping over.

Because let’s be honest, no one wants to land on their backside when they’re just trying to get the job done.
