Beat timesheet procrastination

Are you tired of the last-minute scramble to submit timesheets? You’re not alone, but it doesn’t have to be a problem for your team. With Pryme Time, time tracking becomes effortless and even enjoyable!

Why does timesheet procrastination happen in the first place?

Procrastination, and also timesheet procrastination, is not a problem of being lazy. In fact, it goes beyond time management problems. We don’t tend to procrastinate on pleasant things, but on boring stuff.

According to psychology, procrastination is the voluntary, unnecessary delay of an important task -and timesheet submission is important, despite knowing you’ll feel bad afterwards. It’s all about not being able to manage our negative emotions around a certain task.

20% of adults are chronic procrastinators.

The importance of on time timesheet submission

For project-based organisations that bill clients based on the hours worked, accurate and timely timesheet submissions are essential to ensure correct invoicing. This helps maintain trust and credibility with clients and avoids disputes over billing.

On another hand, consistently enforcing and following through on timesheet policies can improve employee discipline and reduce the stress associated with last-minute submissions. It promotes a culture of accountability and fairness in the workplace.

Let’s have a look at a smarter way to filling timesheets. With Pryme Time, managing your time entries becomes intuitive. And a nicer time entry experience will definitely transform the way employees handle timesheet creation and submission.

As many time tracking ways as there are individual preferences

The idea of a “one size fits all” time tracking method often doesn’t account for the varied needs, preferences, and work styles of different individuals and teams. A single universal time tracking method might fall short.

Integrated stopwatch in Business Central

Track hours against projects and tasks without leaving the Business Central role center using the stopwatch. Whether you’re working on multiple tasks or switching between assignments, the start/stop timer lets you track all your work time accurately. No more guessing or reconstructing your hours when your timesheet is due.

Track time in a calendar view

Visual organisers will find our calendar view particularly advantageous for tracking time. With an intuitive drag-and-drop functionality, effortlessly rearrange, create, and delete tasks. Distinguish between various tasks at a glance thanks to differently coloured time entries.

Create and update time entries directly from the calendar—or access the calendar from your timesheet entries.

Pull time entries from Outlook into Business Central

Create time entries from Outlook calendar, Outlook emails, tracked time, or work assignments. No more flipping back and forth between Business Central and Outlook.

Capture even the smallest increments of time worked and provide more detailed documentation of the work performed thanks to the expanded description field, and pre-set descriptions along with description rules.

Timesheet submission from email

Receive notification emails with a summary of your timesheet entries, allowing you to quickly review and adjust your work records as needed directly from your inbox. Submit your timesheets with just a single click from your email.

Team managers can also receive summary emails highlighting pending timesheet submissions, enabling them to gently remind their teams to stay on schedule.

Make sure work is logged as you go

Team managers can get a real-time view of when tasks are completed versus when they’re recorded. This clarity helps identify how timely entries are made, allowing for swift adjustments to any delays.

It’s all too easy to forget the minor details when you’re in a rush to submit timesheets. Logging your time on the same day the work is done helps prevent this.
