How to track staff hours without Friday guesswork
If hours get written down on Friday from memory, payroll is a guess. The tracking is already in most job software — and in a law firm, untracked hours are lost income.

What to know
$4.50/user/mo
Shops and restaurants: Deputy is cheap
Rosters built from real trading hours, off the group chat, from $4.50 per person per month.
Untracked hours are unbilled income
The software can track calls and emails in the background and find the billable time nobody wrote down — a person checks it before it's billed.
How to implement this today
- 1
Trades: turn on the time tracking already in your job software — GPS timesheets or job-card clock-on.
- 2
Shops and restaurants: move the roster into Deputy (from $4.50/user) and build it from real trading hours.
- 3
Law firms: turn on passive time capture and spend five minutes each morning reviewing what it caught.
- 4
After a month, compare hours charged with hours worked per job type — that's where the money leaks.
