Frequently asked questions

What Is Time Theft?

Time theft occurs when an employee accepts wages for work they didn’t do. The theft can be deliberate, accidental, or just negligent.

Regardless of how time theft occurred, the loss of both time and money can have a negative impact on your labor budget.

For example, if Jane clocks in at 8:55 a.m. and clocks out at 5 p.m., your business may pay her for an extra 20 hours every year. And that’s just one employee. Multiply those 20 hours by the number of employees on your payroll, and it’s easy to see how the costs can really add up.

What Are the Different Types of Time Theft?

There are many different types of time theft that range in intention from accidental to deliberate.

Some of the most common types of time theft include:

  • Mistakes
  • Rounding errors
  • Overly long breaks
  • Unauthorized personal time
  • Unauthorized overtime
  • Buddy punching
  • Long non-work-related conversations
  • Personal internet use
  • Job-specific time theft (e.g., taking longer than usual to complete a task)
  • Hiding or disappearing

One of the best ways to minimize the possibility that time theft may occur is to incorporate time tracking software, like Sling, into your team’s workflow.

How Can I Prevent Time Theft?

Preventing time theft starts by establishing a good time tracking process. To improve the way your business monitors work hours, consider taking one or more of the following actions:

  • Make the rules clear and publish them for all to see (i.e., in your employee handbook)
  • Monitor employee clock-in/clock-out behavior
  • Address issues as soon as possible
  • Set standards of accountability
  • Follow through with discipline
  • Lead by example
  • Address time theft in your onboarding process
  • Maintain communication
  • Build morale
  • Be understanding
  • Address time theft in your on-the-job training

Why Choose Sling to Track Employee Time?

Sling helps you track employee time and attendance so you can see exactly when they worked, both from beginning to end and on specific tasks throughout the day.

If your team works off-site, you can use Sling’s built-in geofencing features to establish boundaries around the job. If they’re outside those boundaries, they won’t be able to clock in. If they leave those boundaries without clocking out, you’ll both get a notification.

And that’s just the beginning of how Sling can help you prevent time theft, streamline time tracking, and manage your workforce better.
