Pros

• Both you and your team are likely to be familiar with spreadsheet tools.
• ‍Spreadsheet tools are widely used and come as a standard time tracking procedure for most organizations as they have an intuitive learning curve. Mastering them, on the other hand, is a whole different thing.
• ‍
• Free of charge.
• ‍The most popular spreadsheet software, such as Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel, is free to download.
• ‍
• Your team is used to workflows that correlate with spreadsheet approvals.
• ‍They’re accustomed to sending their timesheets via email or storing them in a common repository. Once you have a time tracking policy for your company, you can easily integrate time tracking into the workflow using spreadsheets.
• ‍
• Spreadsheets are the most common method of integrating data with other systems.
• ‍Managers can either analyze the time entry data with a business intelligence tool or integrate the approved timesheets with dedicated payroll software.

Cons

• Despite their intuitive learning curve, spreadsheets are not very user-friendly.
• Keeping timesheet spreadsheets up to date can become a cumbersome and time-consuming task. Moreover, if you’re using a mobile device, your thumbs might become sore.

• ‍
• Tracing previous spreadsheet versions may leave you lost in history.
• ‍Spreadsheets can be edited by anyone with access, which is why it’s hard to see who made the last changes. Online spreadsheets usually have a version history but they are most commonly downloaded locally and forwarded via email.
• ‍
• Spreadsheets are prone to human error and data loss.
• There can be cases where employees misenter their work data, forget to send their timesheets altogether, or end up sending them to the wrong person. When a company systemizes its workflow with spreadsheets and chain emails, some data might slip through the cracks.
• ‍
• Spreadsheets require too much administrative work.
• Managers usually have to remind employees to submit their timesheets on time, collect them into a common format, and make sure they are timely forwarded to accounting or another responsible department. This takes a lot of time that managers could otherwise spend on more important tasks.
