Calculating employees’ hours is one of the most important tasks for an HR or payroll team. We look at how it can be improved.
Calculating hours correctly is important to both business and employee
It’s obviously important to record and calculate employees’ hours accurately. As a business, you need to ensure they are working their contracted hours, and to pay them correctly. Employees also want to trust that they are being paid the right amounts.
There are many variables that you must consider
It’s not as simple as counting the number of hours. Have you accounted for paid and unpaid breaks? Are you factoring in different types of absence, like holidays, compassionate leave or medical appointments? If staff are working overtime, which pay rate should apply to which hours?
Inputting this information manually is extremely time consuming and prone to mistakes ranging from typos to incorrect formulae. An unscrupulous employee may even deliberately enter the wrong details if they are trying to cheat the system.
