When it comes to timesheets, it seems as if no amount of reminders is enough to make sure all your employees submit them on time.

How to Guarantee Headache-Free Timesheet Submissions

‍

Now that you’ve enjoyed some catharsis, and know that you’re in good company with your frustrations, let’s explore some of the time management and productivity tips you can use to remedy your timesheet-induced headaches.

‍

Filling out timesheets is the last thing on most employees’ minds, even if it does guarantee they get paid what they deserve. It’s endlessly frustrating, yet it doesn’t need to be.

‍

So what can you do?

‍

If you want your employees to fill out their timesheets correctly and submit them on time, you need to make it as easy as possible for them to do so. 

‍

Timesheet Automation

‍

Hands down the best - and perhaps only - way to guarantee you receive all your employees’ timesheets in a timely fashion is to automate the time entry process. That way, you simplify the process and negate the need for manual input.

‍

Not only can you mitigate the risk of human error with automation and get accurate timesheets every time, but you can also lighten your workload as you won’t have to chase employees down.

‍

With screen tracking software platform Insightful, you can start tracking all billable hours across teams and apps, to give you a complete overview of how many hours everyone has worked. Not only does this lead to accurate payrolls 100% of the time, but it can also help you reform your work processes to make sure employees spend their time in the most productive way possible.

‍

Insightful gives you access to three different types of timesheets and in-depth reports that analyze them:

‍

• Daily
• Weekly
• Monthly
• Custom Reports

‍

Once you decide how often you want your timesheet reports, the software will do the heavy lifting for you to the relief of you and your employees. You can receive the files straight to your email inbox, then export them as PDF, CSV, or XLSX files.
