We have a central ERP system which manages all employees time submissions. Managers must approve time daily. The tool offers reporting for tracking employees across their assigned projects. Any PTO is submitted as a request and must also be approved by a manager. Once approved, that day is flagged as vacation, thus locked for the employee to enter their time on that particular day. Same as for holiday's, minus the request. Payroll is handled by our finance department. I do verify hours submitted prior to invoicing the client
Andrew ERP still needs someone to enter the data to process , I wonder if you have automatic electronic set up to do the entry
I appreciate your feedback Saving Changes...

Very practical question, Riyadh Saleh!
Kiron, Abolfozi, Rami, and Andrew have already posted some excellent viewpoints.
I totally agree that any system has to be easy to use, apart from being robust and fool-proof. As an intern for a major Indian IT company in 1991, I was part of a small team that developed a comprehensive timesheet system in Oracle forms, including reports on people who hadn't submitted their forms. It gathered data on how many hours were spent on various modules of the project, activities of the modules, and so on.
Needless to say, it was hated!
From that point on, we have moved to times when a RFID chip implanted onto an empoyee's wrist can actually track their work acivities, pay for lunch at the canteen and even sign them into their email accounts!
Logging their time onto projects would be one short step from there,

What i have noticed is that no matter what system we do have the front PM often find himself /herself is obligated to report AWOL and mark performance based somehow on attendance and punctuality of start time. Saving Changes...

Hi Riyad, I happen to get a chance to work at a place where there was complete automation using erp and everything was fairly easy with some intervention, before payroll is processed. But for a start up during initial days, it was all on excel sheet and manually maintained. Admin/Hr dept would consolidate the leave, in and out time. Project teams would fill the time sheet in excel. Using macros and formulas - consolidate both set of data it to a give a final shape for payroll an effort which took approx 3-4 hours in a month by admin/hr team. To deal with all the variables that were faced, an automated process served the purpose and use people and their time for better purposes. Saving Changes...
