1 The Ultimate Guide to Automating Payroll Timesheets How to convert payroll timesheets into usable data 2012 Copyright Pacific timesheet All rights reserved PACIFIC TIMESHEET or
2 Manual Payroll timesheet systems have four challenges: Employees submit timesheets on time. Timesheet data must be validated. Timesheets must be approved on time. Getting hours and pay data into your payroll system
3 There are four ways to address these challenges: Paper Timesheets Old-fashioned paper can work best: it s cheaper, documents corrections, and it s what you know. Excel Timesheets MS Excel spreadsheets work well for data entry and consolidating timesheets. In-house System Sometimes it s best to develop software in-house to get exactly what you need Buy Timesheet Software Provides continuity, long-term support, and allows you to use software to implement best practices.
4 Challenge Options Results A Distributing and controlling Setting up paper Payroll timesheets. Can this be streamlined? B Enter, validate data C Approvals 1 Paper Timesheets 2 Excel Timesheets 3 In-house System Administrative staff create and distribute paper Payroll timesheets with valid pay code assignments. Employees receive paper timesheet by , or hard copies from their supervisor. Blocking out holidays or scheduled leave must be prepared manually by administrative staff. Excel Payroll timesheets can be setup by administrative staff or supervisors. Its advantage over paper is that timesheets can be consolidated into one pay data sheet using macros. Once setup, Excel timesheets can be distributed by disk, flash drive, , or printed to paper. An in-house system can have a database of valid pay codes, pay classes and supervisor assignments. It automatically sets up timesheets. This system can be designed to match the exact needs for automatically setting up Payroll timesheet templates. D Get data into payroll 4 Buy System Software must be flexible to handle changing setup needs over time. Should synch with payroll, accounting and ERP systems to automate setup of Payroll timesheet workflow. Should validate time entries timesheets, be easy to use and take no longer than one business quarter to implement.
5 Challenge Options Details A Setting up timesheets 1 Paper Timesheets Employees enter data by hand. Supervisor rejections or corrections must be validated by payroll staff or as part the approval process. Policies and rules must be validated manually by supervisors and payroll staff. B Enter, validate data Is the timesheet setup correctly for the Payroll s work? Are the billing codes and pay classes valid? C Approvals 2 Excel Timesheets 3 In-house System The above comments apply, however, electronic spreadsheets are easier to modify and correct than paper. However, an audit trail of corrections must be kept using comments in any hours cells. They still might be printed out for physical signatures. An in-house system can assign employees and other resources to Payrolls. It can validate hours entered according certain rules and policies. D Get data into payroll 4 Buy System Should be web- based and highly configurable to match changing rules and policies over time. Should be easy to use and implementation should take no longer than one business quarter.
6 Challenge Options Results A Setting up timesheets B Enter, validate data 1 Paper Timesheets 2 Excel Timesheets If approvals require a physical signature, this is where paper really shines. H o w e v e r, i f e m p l o y e e s a n d s u p e r v i s o r s a r e i n d i f f e r e n t l o c a t i o n s, timesheets must be faxed or fedexed to other offices for approval signatures. Excel Payroll timesheets can accumulate unauthenticated electronic submission and approval signatures by passing Excel timesheets by . They can also be printed for physical signatures. C Approvals Is there a different approval process for different employees? Different templates or dashboards? Different time periods? D Get data into payroll 3 In-house System 4 Buy System In-house software can electronically capture authenticated approvals from supervisors. The login and password security required by an online session is usually enough proof of an authenticated approval. Purchased timesheet software will have electronic signature features, and LDAP/Active Directory authentication. It should allow for different approval processes, dashboards and reporting for different clients. It should have an active feature road map; evidence it will evolve as standards change over time.
7 Challenge Options Results A Setting up timesheets 1 Paper Timesheets Processing paper timesheets is labor intensive. They must be collected centrally, timesheet hours can be entered into master data sheets and then into payroll data entry screens. This manual work can add several days to the payroll and billing process. B Enter, validate data C Approvals 2 Excel Timesheets 3 In-house System Unlike paper timesheets,, Excel timesheets can be sent electronically and, if they use standardized templates and macros, can be consolidated into one file for payroll processing. Corrections, however, can be more cumbersome to track and process than paper. In-house software can be designed to export timesheet data to payroll by matching required flat file formats. Inhouse developers will have to support changing requirements as payroll data requirements change. D Get data into payroll & ERP systems 4 Buy System Purchased timesheet software should have multiple integration options with a large number of payroll systems. This software should be flexible to modify integration specifications or even support and new payroll or accounting system.
8 How to evaluate automating paper timesheets? Step 1 Address The First Challenge: Processing Payroll timesheets takes too long! Ask this challenge question: How would you process Payroll timesheets in 1/10 the time?
9 How to evaluate automating paper timesheets? 1. The First Challenge: Processing Payroll timesheets takes too long! Solution: Create 3 5 days of lag time to give more time for processing Worst Method: Have employees submit timesheets a few too many days before the pay period ends to gain more processing time. Rating: No rating Concern: This practice, though a common one, creates needed built-in adjustments and corrections due to employees having to submit certain estimated leave and work hours in advance. Best Method: Delay pay date by one period, have employees submit timesheets after period ends to ensure accuracy, and give payroll more time for processing. Rating: Low/Medium Positives: Company gets benefit of retaining payroll cash longer Concerns: Might not be acceptable to many employees to have their pay day delayed for an entire pay period.
10 Gain: +5-10% in time and cost saving. Evaluation: In age of automation, becoming less and less acceptable over time.
11 How to evaluate automating paper timesheets? 1. The First Challenge: Processing Payroll timesheets takes too long! Solution: Use standardized Excel payroll timesheet templates Recommended Method: Have employees fill out Excel timesheets and submit to supervisors by . In parallel, employees print timesheets for their own signature and the supervisor s signature. Rating: Medium Positives: Payroll can automate consolidation of employee payroll timesheets into a master Excel sheet formatted for electronic entry into payroll. Concerns: 1. Excel templates can be difficult to use. 2. Timesheets stuck in , spam filtered, lost. 3. time/date stamp not sufficient or reportable for submission and approval on-time performance. 4. Paper-based timesheet signatures still required, does little to tame the paper monster. 5. Does nothing to address time off requests and approvals if they are required.
12 Gain: % in time and cost savings Evaluation: too much effort for minimal gain; Excel productivity better for electronic processing of hours data, but not for tracking submissions and approvals.
13 1. The First Challenge: Setting up daily Payroll timesheets takes too long! Best Solution: Capture and process payroll timesheets with in-house or purchased software Best Method: Have electronic Payroll timesheets completed and submitted by employees. Supervisors approve or reject timesheets with comments. Rating: High Positives: 1. Electronic audit trails of all submissions, approvals and rejections. 2. Best visibility of employee timesheet progress and status at every step of workflow. 3. Payroll can automatically run pay data summary and details reports to check validity of data. 4. Payroll can automatically consolidate employee pay data into electronic format for quick transmission to payroll. 5. Rapid capture, submissions, approval and processing of hours data eliminates need for built-in lags and corrections.
14 Cons: 1. Needed bandwidth to evaluate in-house or purchased software options. 2. Upfront system requirements definition requires level of effort. 3. Implementation of new system will require re-training of employees. Gain: +80% in time and cost savings Evaluation: Significant reduction in workflow and processing time.
15 How to evaluate automating paper timesheets? Step 2 Address the Second Challenge: Entering and validating data making sure it s correct. Ask this challenge question: Can you enter and validate data in real time? What would you gain?
16 How to evaluate automating paper timesheets? 2. The Second Challenge: Entering and validating data making sure it s correct. Solution: Manually validating paper timesheets Worst Method: Leave validation to approval process. Rating: Poor Concerns: Puts too much error checking on supervisors; high number of errors and corrections likely Best Method: Require daily timesheets to ensure daily validation of time entry. Rating: Low Concerns: 1. Daily paper timesheet submission and approval not always feasible for office environments. 2. Supervisors might not have bandwidth for daily approvals and validation. 3. Process might not work well for weekend or night shift work. Gain: +50% gain in accuracy Evaluation: best you can do with paper
17 2. The Second Challenge: Entering and validating data making sure it s correct. Solution: Excel Payroll timesheets with built-in validation rules Best Method: Built-in Excel macros can validate entries. Rating: Medium Positives: Simplifies approval task Concerns: Break between logic of individual timesheet validations and overall summary reports. Gain: +50% in accuracy Evaluation: Excel timesheets with built-in validation affordable solution with limitations.
18 2. The Second Challenge: Entering and validating data making sure it s correct. Best Solution: Automatically validate timesheet entries with inhouse or purchased software Best Method: Have Payroll timesheets automatically validate all codes, policies and rules in real time. Rating: High Process: 1. Policies and rules validate entries when they are made. 2. Supervisors can override certain rules when permitted. Gain: +100% gain in time and cost savings for validation tasks Evaluation: Timesheet entries made in real time; significant increases in accuracy; management monitoring through the day now possible; admin staff can focus on other tasks.
19 How to evaluate automating paper timesheets? Step 3 Address The Third Challenge: Having timesheets approved by supervisors. Ask this challenge question: How much time and cost can you squeeze out of the payroll timesheet submission and approval process?
20 How to evaluate automating paper timesheets? 3. The Third Challenge: Having data approved by Supervisors. Paper-based Solution: Submission and approvals of paper timesheets requires manual collection, faxing and/or fedexing paper timesheets Only Method: Employees fill out paper timesheets and submit to Supervisors for approval. Multiple sites require timesheets faxed or fedexed for daily or weekly approval and processing. Rating: Low Positives: Low visible costs Concerns: 1. High friction and cost of faxing and fedexing 2. Missing or lost timesheets 3. Timesheets languishing on approvers desk 3. Slow and tedious corrections process Gain: limited; significant inefficiencies in approvals can slow payroll processing Evaluation: best you can do with paper
21 How to evaluate automating paper timesheets? 3. The Third Challenge: Having data approved by supervisors. Solution: Excel payroll timesheets submitted, approved and rejected by Individual Timesheets Method: individual Excel timesheets to supervisors for approval. Rating: Low Concerns: Opening up individual s is slow and tedious; Approvers might have to create a PDF version of Excel timesheet for signatures, or print timesheet, sign, create PDF file and back, or print and fax back. This is a poor process for corrections and re-approvals of timesheets. Packaging Timesheets Method: Once approved, supervisor packages Excel timesheets into a zip file, sends on by or FTPs zip file to secure directory where it is accessed by another system for processing. Rating: Low-Medium Concerns: Only improvement is reducing number of s for client to open; above issues remain.
22 How to evaluate automating paper timesheets? 3. The Third Challenge: Having data approved by supervisors. Consolidation Method: Consolidate individual Excel timesheets into one master Excel sheet for higher levels approvals and processing. Supervisors send on consolidated Excel sheets using same methods as above. Rating: Medium Concerns: Reduces number of s and the number of Excel timesheets to be handled for processing and approvals; above issues remain. Gain: +50% improvement in time and cost over paper-based methods. Evaluation: Significant improvement, but still cumbersome for corrections and reapprovals.
23 How to evaluate automating paper timesheets? 3. The Third Challenge: Having data approved by supervisors. Best Solution: In-house or purchased software automatically consolidates submitted timesheets into approval dashboard Best Method: Have Payroll timesheets submitted electronically and consolidate an approval dashboard. Rating: High Process: 1. Employees submit timesheet electronically. 2. Supervisors are reminded with notices when it is time to begin approving submitted timesheets. 3. Supervisors can see which timesheets are not submitted and take action. 4. Supervisors can reject with comments submitted timesheets needing corrections, or approve valid timesheets. Gain: +80% less time and cost Evaluation: Fastest most accurate approvals
24 How to evaluate automating paper timesheets? Step 4 Address The Fourth Challenge: Getting data into your payroll or ERP systems. Ask this challenge question: Double and triple data entry: how much can you eliminate?
25 How to evaluate automating paper timesheets? 4. The Fourth Challenge: Getting data into your payroll or ERP systems. Solution: Consolidating paper timesheet data into master sheets or data files. Worst Method: Use standard timesheet template formats, consolidate hours into one master sheet to facilitate more accurate data entry. Rating: Low Concerns: 1. Most paper-based systems are doing this already. 2. Adding consolidated template sheet requires high level of effort for modest gain in data entry accuracy. 3. Still having to live with double data entry issue. Best Paper-based data entry Method: Scanning paper timesheets into electronic format to facilitate data uploads. Rating: Medium Concerns: 1. Requires type-written timesheets, handwriting not recognized. 2. OCR software is still expensive and not always reliable.
26 How to evaluate automating paper timesheets? 4. The Fourth Challenge: Getting data into your payroll or ERP systems. Gain: +5-10% in time and cost savings Evaluation: too much effort for minimal gain
27 4. The Fourth Challenge: Getting data into your payroll or ERP systems. Solution: Change to standardized Excel timesheet template allows for easier data consolidation Only Method: Use standard Excel Payroll timesheet template format; consolidate Excel timesheet data into one master Excel sheet. Rating: Medium Positives: 1. Eliminates one round of data entry. Concerns: 1. Requires strict use of standard Excel template. 2. Same issues described above regarding managing and consolidating Excel timesheet through Does not handle corrections well. Gain: +70% in time and cost savings Evaluation: if possible, data consolidation benefits are large as can now export data. No improvement for corrections.
28 4. The Fourth Challenge: Getting data into your payroll or ERP systems. Best Solution: Electronically export timesheet data with inhouse or purchased software Best Method: Manual/automatic data export marks entries as processed and automates corrections process. Rating: High Process: 1. Submitted and approved Payroll timesheet entries can be exported by SFTP accounting, web services or manually uploaded to payroll 2. All entries can be marked as processed so correction entries can be exported and processed in future as new entries. 3. Mirrored pay data reports allow for final data reviews by approvers, payroll. Gain: +100% in time and cost savings Evaluation: Automated exports eliminate 100% of second data entry; admin staff can focus on other tasks; reduces double data entry errors, automates corrections process.
29 Appendix: Additional Notes on Options Paper Payroll Timesheet Built-In Problems 1. For large companies, paper Payroll timesheets will by necessity need to vary by job because of special job requirements. In these cases, it will never be advisable to standardize paper timesheet templates. 2. Companies that do successfully standardize paper Payroll timesheet templates across a variety and jobs divisions can be very busy and difficult to read. 3. Paper timesheets are the gold standard for notating timesheet corrections and adjustments. DCAA and other auditing standards require that electronic systems and software must emulate the audit trail provided by paper systems. 4. Paper timesheets must always be submitted by hand, messenger, fedex or fax. 5. Paper timesheets when completed can be lost or damaged. There only back-up is imaging (e.g. using smartphone cameras) or Xerox copies.
30 6. Paper timesheets must always be approved and sent on for further processing by messenger, mail, fax, or converted to an electronic image or data. 7. Where physical signatures must be part of the audit trail, a timesheet image can be imported and attached to an electronic record of the timesheet. 8. Rejections sometimes must be faxed, messengered, or converted into an image and sent back to supervisors. 9. Paper timesheet processes have a built-in slowness factor that makes daily timesheet submission and approval not feasible (unless daily certified payroll is required) Excel Payroll Timesheet Built-In Problems 1. For large companies, Excel Payroll timesheets will by necessity need to vary by job, employee type or cost center because of job requirements. In these cases, it will be difficult or impossible to standardize Excel timesheet templates. 2. Companies that do successfully standardize Excel Payroll timesheet templates across a variety and jobs and cost centers are very busy and difficult to read. 3. Excel templates can be used and modified to save time in timesheet preparation, however, this is usually done by administrative staff. 4. Excel timesheets must be printed, obtain physical signatures and stored for safekeeping if they are to match paper timesheets in notating timesheet corrections and adjustments. DCAA and other auditing standards require that electronic systems and software must emulate the audit trail provided by paper systems.
31 5. Excel timesheet distribution is handled by , FTP, flash drive media, or in printed versions by hand, messenger, fedex or fax. 6. Excel timesheets when completed can be lost or damaged, and their paper-based versions can be as well. There back-ups are file backups, and for their paper-based versions imaging (e.g. using smartphone cameras) or Xerox copies. 7. Excel timesheets must always be ed, faxed, messengered or converted to an electronic image for approvals. 8. Where physical signatures must be part of the audit trail, a paper timesheet image can be copied into the Excel version of the timesheet. 9. If physical signatures are required, rejections must be sent in a printed paper version by fax, messenger, or converted into an image and sent back to supervisors by or FTP. 10. Excel timesheet processes also have a built-in slowness factor that makes daily timesheet submission and approval not feasible (unless daily certified payroll is required).
32 In-House Development Built-in Problems 1. The greatest problem with in-house developed systems is source code control, continuity and support over the long term. Today, development engineers and contractors move from company to company frequently so it is unlikely that continuous support for enhancements and updates should be expected beyond months for any internally-developed Payroll timesheet application. 2. In all cases, in-house Payroll timesheet software should be able to automatically setup employees with access to the appropriate pay or earnings codes and other data entry properties. 3. An in-house system must have the ability to record physical signatures and have them stored for safekeeping if they are to match paper timesheets in notating timesheet corrections and adjustments. DCAA and other auditing standards require that electronic systems and software must emulate the audit trail provided by paper systems. 4. An in-house system must be able to distribute timesheets by rendering them into a user client such as a browser on-demand. The system must also allow for the electronic printing, submission, approvals, rejections, corrections and reporting of timesheets. 5. An in-house system must provide back-up and disaster recovery to as a backup to physical timesheets that might become lost or damaged. It should also allow for the storage of images of paper-based timesheets (e.g. using smartphone cameras) or PDF files copies. 6. If signatures are required, submissions, approvals and rejections must be authenticated through the systems login and authentication features. The system must have a detailed audit trail recording date and time stamps and authorized users conducting those all audited actions.
33 7. When developing an in-house system, databases should include MS Access, FoxPro for smaller systems and MS SQL Server or Oracle for larger systems. 8. A design and database development resource can write a program that allows you to update employee, supervisor approval assignments and if needed, pay and earnings security access permissions for different classes or division employees. 9. You can give access to the database by writing a user interface that allows system administrators the ability to assign supervisors to employees. 10. You can write Payroll timesheet templates that can generate Payroll timesheets pre-filled with the employee identifying information, their proper pay or earnings codes, shift, job and other key information. 11. You can write a Payroll timesheet application to allow for time off requests, automated accruals, other labor rules and policies such as overtime, missed meal penalties, and other rules. 12. You can write a holiday scheduler that automatically schedules holidays and populates them on employee payroll timesheets with the correct hours according certain security permissions.
