5 Time Tracking Mistakes That Cost Employers Money

Small errors in time tracking can lead to big penalties. Learn the five most common mistakes and how to avoid them.

Time tracking seems simple β€” but the details matter more than most employers realise. Here are five mistakes we see repeatedly, and how to fix them.

1. Relying on Paper or Spreadsheets

Manual records are easily lost, altered, or forgotten. Digital systems provide real-time accuracy and automatic backups.

2. Letting Employees Record Their Own Hours

Self-reported hours open the door to inaccuracies. A system that captures clock events automatically removes this risk entirely.

3. Not Tracking Breaks

Break regulations are just as important as working hour rules. Missing break records can lead to compliance violations even if total hours look correct.

4. Ignoring Overtime Rules

Overtime rules vary by sector and contract. An automated system applies the right rules for each employee automatically.

5. No Audit Trail

If you can't prove what happened, you can't defend a dispute. Every ICTORA time session is permanent, timestamped, and auditable.
