Q
What’s your 30 second elevator pitch?
We are The Countertop Company we specialize in solid surface acrylic, stone and quartz counter tops. We’ve been in business for about 20 years and are family owned and operated.
Q
Tell me more about your business. Size, industry, number of employees. . .
Our company has anywhere from 10-15 employees at any time and we are usually very in need of
time tracking due to the fact that our employees are not at the same place that our office is. Their shop is located on the other side of town.
Q
How were you tracking
timesheets before you started using TSheets?
The old school, dinosaur method of paper and pencil.
Q
What was the biggest problem that you had with your
time tracking system?
We had a lot problems with that. Sometimes it looked as if they were milking the clock or they would forget to write down their time when they went out so they would have to fill out their time cards when they came back, which you know how reliable that can be.
Q
How has TSheets solved it?
Yes it has and this is also good because it’s internet based and due to the fact that my bosses are never really at either shop for very long, they are also at their home or other locations and they can actually check out their employees’ punches from any where in the world. It’s made their lives much easier.
“I would recommend TSheets to pretty much any small or large business…”
Rene Limón (The Countertop Company)
Q
Rene, in talking with a lot of business owners I find that they usually have one or two big problems that they realize are costing their company, but often times they don’t see some of the “smaller” ones that may be costing them even more time or money. Has TSheets helped you realize and solve any other problems that you didn’t initially think of?
Well what TSheets did, is it not only saved us money because of our employees time, it also saved us money on who we were doing our payroll through. Now that we have TSheets, we can now use Quickbooks which is about one tenth of the cost of the payroll company we were using.
Q
In round dollars how much money does TSheets end up saving you every month?
Well just on cost of who our payroll company was it has saved us at least $300 per month, just in that. Then in the employee area it’s saved us another couple hundred dollars, so you’re looking at about $500 – $600 every month that is being saved by TSheets.
Q
What would you say to a business owner to help them identify and solve their
time and attendance problems?
You know, the only thing that I can tell them about any
time and attendance is that the best way to keep both sides honest, because it’s not just for employees but for the employer as well, is with a system like TSheets. Because the employees are also much more satisfied because they can see every week their weekly punches, when they clock in and out. They don’t think that we’re doing something here at the office when we calculate the hours, because TSheets calculates the hours for us. There is no middle man. They punch in, they punch out and TSheets calculates all of the hours. It eliminates any type of error.
Q
Thank you for your time Rene, any closing thoughts?
Just that I would recommend TSheets to pretty much any small or large business, because it allows you flexibility in where you can punch in and out from and even allows you flexibility in monitoring punches in and out.
