The real cost of poor workforce management

Absence and manual processes cost UK businesses more than most realise. The figures below come from independent national sources, and they are exactly the problems Computime is built to help you manage.

9.4 days

Average sickness absence per UK employee per year

A record high, up from 5.8 days before the pandemic. Source: CIPD Health and Wellbeing at Work report 2025.

£103bn

Estimated annual cost of workplace sickness to the UK economy

£24.65

Cost of a single sick day in statutory sick pay from 2026/27

Waiting days have been removed, so day one now carries a cost. Source: gov.uk statutory sick pay.

Accurate time, attendance and absence data is the first step to managing these costs. Computime has helped UK businesses track hours, reduce payroll errors, and stay on top of absence for over 30 years, with Bradford Factor absence reporting and real time entitlement tracking built in.

Had an issue with out time-clocking software with no access / admin settings available. Kabir was assigned to help me out and made it almost effortless to resolve. I more or less gave him a few details and he did the rest. Good lad with good customer service skills and seemed eager to get it done quickly - glad to be with these guys if this is the level of service I can expect. Thanks Kabir!

We have been with Computime for almost a year now, the Time & Attendance package they provide is brilliant and calculates everything automatically. We were a bit concerned at first as we have quite a few bespoke shift patterns and rates, but the support team have been brilliant working with us to make sure everything works as we need. The self-service absence portal is also a great asset to any company and has saved us a lot of valuable time.

What is the difference between a clocking in machine and a clocking in app?

A clocking in machine is a physical device installed at a fixed location, typically using fingerprint, facial recognition, or RFID card technology. A clocking in app like Syncro Connect allows employees to clock in and out from anywhere using a smartphone, recording their GPS location at the time of clocking. Many UK businesses use both together machines for office or site based staff and the app for remote or field based employees.

Why Small Businesses Need a Clocking in Machine
