How Electronic Timesheets Increase Invoice Accuracy

Electronic timesheets reduce company overhead, ensure accurate invoicing, and enable construction contractors to spend more time focused on points of profit and quality. Yet many construction businesses still rely on paper timesheets as the core method of processing employee and contingent workforce task hours.

Electronic Timesheets Reduce Cost, Save Time and Enable Precision Invoicing

Perhaps it is time for you to consider the taking advantage of the Assignar mobile app? Face it: Managing rates and hours via paper timecards perpetuates an endless cycle of wasted time. Furthermore, paper timesheets:

Get lost
Sometimes fall into the wrong hands
Occasionally result in disgruntled clients
Generate unnecessary errors due to illegible handwriting
Sometimes result in hours and numbers that fail to add up
Promote greater risk of manual data entry errors
Affect the accuracy of business and margin reports
Are easily damaged
Reflect an image of obsolete business management practices
Consume unnecessary storage space
Delay payroll deadlines
AND increase the cost of tracking, identifying and correcting faulty time reports.

However, the five most common reasons for IHSS Payroll pending timecards were listed as:

Blank
Unreadable
Missing signatures
Duplications
AND terminated providers.
