An optimal Timesheet

                         An optimal timesheet will hide all the complex functions in a timesheet and provide only the required functions to the user's view and the GUI should be in such a way that all the people in the company irrespective of their position in a company should feel easy to use..
                         An optimal timesheet should be customizable that is it should be designed in such a way that it can be altered based on the companies's needs.But at the same time all the complex calculations should be done by the software itself leaving very little work for the employees to do.And it should not make the user to remember anything all the data should be given in option and standard functions that exist in all other application should also be included here.
                          If the employees are present in various time zones then the problem of employee tracking and time tracking will arise .In order to solve all such issues we can use the online timesheet which will solve all such issues.Many people wont add the lunch break to the work done time that might result in wrong results and the company might end up paying extra to the employees and these things can be solved once we start to use a standard timesheet which handles all such cases.
                          Sometimes the employees may not fill the timesheet and might leave the office in a hurry in such a case the employer should be notified about the defaulter list .If such a feature does not exist in the timesheet this process will just continue and will end up in a huge loss to the company finally and it might also lead to many unwanted chaos .
                          Timesheet is an inevitable software in all organisation.These days data entered by the employees has to be very carefully analyzed as all the calculation will be done based on the data entered only.And timesheet plays a significant role in this as it processes the amount of time worked by the employee and based on this their wages are calculated.In the case of web based timesheet the data should be well encrypted before sending from the client system to the central server hence the software should use comparability secure "https" protocol for authentication and other data manupulation purpose .
                       Timesheet is indispensable irrespective of the size of the organisation.But the requirements and feature of timesheet may vary from one organisation to another and hence timesheet should be very flexible it should be designed in such a way that any new modules can be easily integrated with the timesheet like CRM or payroll process,This flexibility feature will add further more crediblity to the software.This kind of flexiblity and crediblity can be provided in SAAS based software.





Timesheet importance

                                          Real time project tracking helps in faster response time for better management of the organisation . The right Time Management Software like timesheet will increase the productivity and there by provide a better insight about the productivity. Keeping track of project is highly essential.On a monthly basis all these things like budget cost , project management ,employee tracking and time tracking should be monitored to ensure better productivity.Timesheet helps us to compare the actual time spent and the time limit that was actually planned hence we can get a clear insight about how far the adjustments should be made to reach the target in time.This will also allow us to move employees in and out of the project hence we can avoid the problem of over utilization or under utilization.
                                               Sometimes the project might go spirally out of time deadline and we will be left scratching our head when every thing was going well how did this time deadline went out of control this is mainly because of the mismanagement of time .If we have proper time management software like timesheet then we can easily track the time taken and by the way we can easily come to the conclusion what went wrong at what time and this will also help us to correct the issues that occurred in a project and give us valuable information so that these issues can be sorted out in the next project.
                                                    Using quality timesheet software will allow us to provide us to pay the employees based on the amount of time they worked . In the internet based timesheet employees can enter the timesheet from anywhere and there is no need that the particular employee should be on site when entering the the timesheet.In MNC's people will work across various time zones in such cases using a web based timesheet will be very helpful .And also the employer can monitor the work done by his employees from any where in the world even if he is on a vacation he can still monitor those works.
                                                       It is very clear that timesheet software will provide good comfort and benefits and also makes the time consuming work very simple.All companies must use timesheet to better organize the projects and the employees .We can easily track the amount of time spent of each project and also amount of work done by each employee on a particular project .This gives the companies full freedom from paper based timesheet which is a tedious one to monitor the data and also manipulate it accurately but these online timesheets can do that work in ease and also with a greater accuracy than a human does with a paper based work.So if a company implements timesheet it will not only make the life simpler but lot more efficient and effective.
