Paper timesheets and spreadsheets quietly cost you: rounding disputes, buddy punching, hours of payroll data entry, and no audit trail. Moving to a digital time clock is easier than most owners expect. Here’s a clean switch-over plan.
Step-by-step
- Pick a tool that does time, scheduling, and payroll export together (fewer systems = fewer errors).
- Add your locations and employees; set pay rates and overtime rules.
- Set up the kiosk — any tablet by the door — and enroll Face ID or PINs.
- Run one week in parallel with paper to build trust.
- Switch fully and export the first digital pay period to payroll.
