So for those out there living hour to hour it is crucial to accurately track their billable hours! Accounting firms, law firms and consultancy firms etc. all live off time tracking software, they frankly love it, and here’s five reasons you’ll love it too:

Using time tracking software helps minimise potential errors during payroll and avoid the ever-pleasant paycheck dispute. Such software gives employees the responsibility of logging their own hours and allows you to see this through employee reporting. Penciling in hours on a timesheet, employees can often over or underestimate spent on a task however using time tracking software allows you to only pay for the actual time worked.

2) Save time on admin tasks

In 2015 a study by Service Now, showed managers spent an average of 2 full work days each week on administration tasks – an average of 15 hours a week!  The software helps reduce manual data-entry and removes boring timesheet entries, saving you hours each week. Time tracking software enables employees to track their time and submit entries on any device. This allows employees and managers to do their job fully & save hours on tedious admin tasks.
