Employee Time Clock Benchmarks for Accuracy, Adoption and Payroll Readiness
Inaccurate time records cost employers 2 to 5% of gross payroll, per EasyClocking by WorkEasy Software's published ROI risk benchmark. Manual timesheet errors can add up to $2,300 per employee annually. Organizations replacing paper-based or spreadsheet time entry with automated time clocks consistently see measurable improvements across accuracy, payroll processing speed and compliance defensibility. The benchmarks below organize the measurement surface into four categories so you can identify where your operation sits and where the largest gaps remain.
