                          This is an age of technology. As a result of much advancement in technology many products and devices have been made.

With the help of this time sheet it is possible to have accurate information about the time worked by the employee.
                         This timesheet software is good to be used as this saves the company from human errors. Many companies are also using the traditional manual systems for recording the time. These systems could be causing errors as these are under human controls. A clerk recording the times of employees could make errors in the entry of data. This could be done due to error or intention of the clerk.
                          As a result, the time of the work that is done actually, would be less than the time of the work, entered in the timesheet software. This will cost company more and the company would have to pay for the time that was not worked for. This is a type of cheating, which is done in many manual systems of time sheets. Now the trends for working have been updated. The workers are able to work from anywhere with the help of internet. The submission of work could also be done with the help of internet.
                          Therefore, it is good to use the online timesheet for entering the time of working. With the help of these sheets the users are able to get accurate information related to work done and the costs as well. These programs are able to check the status of work as well with the time entered by the users. Manual errors related to entry of time in the time sheets are not able to be traced.

An optimal Timesheet

                          An optimal timesheet does not have any complex functionality and provide an user friendly environment.It should be in such a way that even a person with very basic computer operation knowledge should able to understand what needs to be entered, how, and where.
An optimal timesheet should be simple to use at the same time it should perform all the computation by itself it should not depend on the human to keep track of any operations.A timesheet should be based on web that is it should be accessible from any where in the world.This has an important benefit because if the timesheet is provided in the web , two or more departments or branches of a same company that is geographically isolated can use a same timesheet to keep the track of their work and this will reduce the work of the admin as he can monitor and keep track of all his employees from any where in the world even while on the move.There is no need that he should be always be with his employees to track their work.
                    A bigger organization will have its employees working in various time zones and when the employees enter the timesheet , The an timesheet should be able to distinguish between various time zones manage records accordingly.Calculating the lunch/break deductions for each and every employee is a boring task. In a single organisation there may be many departments and each one might have different lunch breaks or intervals in such a case it should be able to manage all those time intervals and lunch breaks without the support of human.
                        Employees, in an organization, ay work for various departments based on their skill. Organizations pay different salary based on the work they do in various departments and timesheet should be able to track them all it should be able to calculate the exact workhours that a person has worked and the salary. .Because of the complexity involved in calculating the shift timings, break and lunch timings, etc, the ideal timesheet provides all the business logic for calculating the overtime, shift differential, etc, for the employee at the click of a button. All these calculations happen behind the screens without employee's knowledge. Thus an ideal timesheet not only simplifies the process of time tracking in an organisation but also maintains accuracy which manual calculations may not.
