The best systems are those which impose the least administrative overhead, provide the most accurate data, and help not only leadership teams but also individual team members to be more efficient and effective.
Unfortunately, the design of most systems or their implementation misses one or more of the above goals.
For knowledge workers, tools which can analyze someone's calendar (e.g. MS Outlook) and auto-post time entries based on that could reduce the administrative effort but will require the discipline for users to keep their calendars up-to-date.

Kiron, thanks for your suggestion it is big headache for the PM as frontline when you have more people messes up by late coming and no show

We currently use a system called Harvest for senior staff. It is an online time tracking program and it proved to be great so everyone tracks their own time. This is from a consultancy company point of view.
When I used to work in Construction Management on large jobs, there used to be Thumbprints or Time Keepers even.

Unless you are dealing with a very archaic system, time reporting is usually not the main administrative drain on a PM - I'd look to things like status reporting, and "heavy" governance artifacts as providing much more opportunity to reduce waste from the PMs workload.

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
