You’ve probably heard me go on (and on) about paper timesheets. There’s a reason for that. We care just as much as you do about making sure your team is paid accurately and on time.

We also want to make sure it’s right for you as the employer. When both sides get it right, everyone wins.

Manual processes like paper timesheets have always been a problem. They were a headache 20 years ago when I sold Comacc The Payroll People to MYOB, and honestly, not much has changed since then.

When we created TimeHub, our goal was simple: to add value to the payroll process and make life easier for both employers and employees, regardless of the payroll system they use.

Over my 20-plus years in the payroll tech world, I've learned that the best way to add value to the payroll process is to improve how time and attendance data is captured. In other words, getting  the data right before it reaches payroll.

Think about it. If an employee works five days a week and fills in a paper timesheet, that data can be touched multiple times before it finally reaches their bank account. That’s a lot of chances for something to go wrong.

I’ve seen it all:

• Timesheets filled out by more than one person (and you can tell when one of them is left-handed).
• Employees “predicting” what time they’ll be back from lunch before they’ve even left.
• People forgetting to write down that they worked a public holiday, which means they miss out on pay.
• Writing down times that don’t match when they actually clocked in.
• I’ve seen supervisors make honest mistakes when keying in hours or calculating overtime and allowances.
• And I’ve seen cases where a bit of favouritism crept in too.

Even losing just four minutes per day per employee adds up. Over a year, that can cost a business more than $700 per staff member based on the average wage.

That’s why we built TimeHub and MyTimesheets. Our “real-time” attendance and digital timesheet systems take away the hassle of paper completely.

Employees use a tablet or smartphone i.e devices they already use every day, with our simple one-touch timeclock app. No need for fancy hardware.

The result?

• Fewer errors
• More trust
• Happier teams
• Staff know their pay is being calculated correctly.
• Managers know the data is accurate.
• Our employer portal is cloud-based, so you can manage attendance from anywhere, even when you’re offsite.
• It keeps you compliant with record-keeping requirements under the Employment Relations and Holidays Acts.
• Your pay rules for hours worked, overtime, leave and allowances are automatically applied.
• No more manual keying.
• No more guessing.
• No more time creep.

We care deeply about getting people paid correctly and on time. It’s the foundation of trust in any workplace.

If you’re still relying on paper, now’s the time to rethink how you handle time and attendance.

We’ve even created a free self-paced workbook to help you figure out where you can improve and how to choose the right tool for your business.
