💰 Payroll Problem of the Week: Chasing Timesheets

We’ve all been there—you’re ready to run payroll, but you’re still waiting on someone to turn in a timesheet or trying to figure out who forgot to clock in.

It may seem like a small headache, but those little issues add up quickly. More time spent tracking hours means less time spent on the things that actually matter.

Payroll should be straightforward—not a weekly scavenger hunt.

Let us know in the comments: How much time does your team spend fixing timekeeping issues every pay period? 👇

Employees want more than a paycheck when they come to work. 🤔

When people understand why their work matters, they’re more likely to stay engaged, perform at a higher level, and stick around.

Purpose isn’t just a feel-good idea. It can be a practical business strategy for improving retention, productivity, engagement, and workplace culture.

So, how can you create a stronger sense of purpose without a huge budget? We break it down in our latest blog. 👇

Purpose helps improve employee retention, engagement, and productivity by connecting daily work to meaningful outcomes.

Soon, some of the calls coming into your business won't be from a real person.

Google has started giving people AI assistants that can call businesses for them. The assistant might call a shop to check if something's in stock, book an appointment, or ask about a price.

For now, this is mostly a consumer thing, and it's still early. But if a lot of your business comes in over the phone, it's worth being aware of.

Let your team know that some callers may be AI, not people. And remember that whatever's said on a call can be recorded, so it pays to be accurate about prices, opening hours, and what's actually available.

There's a good side to this, too. You can use the same kind of assistant for the boring calls you'd rather not make yourself, like chasing a supplier or sitting on hold.
