What is the purpose of time sheets?

The purpose of time sheets is to track employee time and attendance for businesses. Employees write down on the time sheets when they arrive and when they leave, and the payroll manager adds up the time each employee worked and calculates their paycheck. Time sheets are a rather outdated method of employee time and attendance now though and aren't very accurate as employees can easily alter or put down incorrect time to make it seem like they worked longer than they really did.

With advancements in technology, one of the best methods of time and attendance now is a biometric time clock. A biometric time clock uses a fingerprint scanner for employee to clock in and out, which is much more accurate than the time sheets. Biometric time clocks help prevent time theft from employees clocking in when they didn't really work or having another employee clock them in for them.
