Paper timesheets are costing you more than you think

The average 50-operative subcontractor loses thousands every year to buddy-clocking and inflated hours. Paper timesheets make it invisible until payroll.

15%

Average reduction in payroll leakage with Chime

Your office team spends 3–5 days a week chasing, checking, and re-entering timesheet data. That’s a full-time salary on admin that adds zero value.

3–5 days

Weekly admin time on manual timesheets

When HSE asks for attendance records, can you produce them in seconds — or does it take days? Paper-based systems create compliance gaps that put your CSCS and ISO accreditations at risk.

The solution

How Chime solves it

The problem

Buddy-clocking and inflated hours drain your margins. With paper timesheets, you have no way to verify who was actually on site.

End timesheet fraud overnight

Selfie verification matches each clock-in to a real face. GPS geofencing confirms they’re on the right site. Photo evidence, coordinates, and timestamps create a tamper-proof record for every clock event.

The problem

Your office team spends days every week manually transcribing handwritten timesheets into spreadsheets. Errors creep in. Disputes follow.

Payroll-ready data in one click

Verified attendance data flows straight into digital timesheets. Approval workflows, overtime calculations, and payroll exports — all automatic. No re-keying, no Friday afternoon panic.

We went from 5 days of timesheet processing down to 1.

The problem

Running multiple sites means dozens of calls and texts just to find out who turned up. No single view, no real-time data, no confidence in your headcount.

Real-time site visibility

Live headcount dashboards show exactly who’s on every site across your portfolio right now. Automatic alerts flag no-shows so you can react before it costs you a day.

Eliminated hundreds of daily calls checking who’s on site.

The problem

HSE audits, CSCS compliance, insurance requirements — all demand accurate attendance records. Paper systems leave gaps that put your accreditations at risk.

Compliant from day one

Every clock event is logged with biometric verification, GPS coordinates, and timestamps. Pull compliant attendance records for any site, any date range, in seconds — not days.

Enables HSE audit readiness and supports ISO 45001 compliance requirements

Hear from subcontractors who replaced paper timesheets with Chime.

The biggest issue we had was payroll, timesheets and how we record the data. With Chime we have now removed the hundreds of phone calls and endless timesheets and we know the data is accurate and verified.
