Let’s face it – filling out timesheets is pretty boring. Some employees get into the habit of putting off this tedious task.

When this happens, it hampers the organization’s ability to conduct business. If you are managing a project, not having timesheets filled out promptly keeps you from effectively managing costs and forecasting accurate completion dates.[…]
