Before using WorkWeek, managing employee attendance and tracking work hours was difficult. R&B Civils relied on paper timesheets, which often led to mistakes and time theft. There were also concerns about how their team would adapt to a new system. Despite these challenges, the need for a better solution was clear. This overview highlights the initial struggles, concerns about using WorkWeek, and how WorkWeek improved R&B Civils’ time management.
Challenges Faced Before Using WorkWeek
- Paper Timesheets: “Before signing up, we struggled with accuracy with employee hours and managing their clock ins. Before, we used normal timesheets, and it was just a hassle.”
- Time Theft: Paper timesheets can easily be manipulated, resulting in time theft.
Initial Hesitations About WorkWeek Software
- The Learning Curve: “I was initially concerned about the learning curve, how the teams would adapt to the new system, and using selfies to clock in. Normally, people are used to the thumb print or biometric system, so I was worried it was going to be a hassle.”
- Fear of the Unknown: “Although I knew that we needed a more efficient way of tracking time, it was a completely new system, and we didn’t know how it would integrate with our business.”
How WorkWeek Addressed the Challenges
- So Much Easier: “Before, we used normal paper timesheets. You guys made life so much easier for us. Everything on WorkWeek is just straightforward.”
- Intuitive Platform: “WorkWeek provided an intuitive platform that simplified time tracking with its photo clocking features, ensuring accurate attendance records.”
- Preventing Time Theft: “WorkWeek assisted us in reducing chances of time theft.”
Results Since Using WorkWeek
- Attendance Accuracy: “Since implementing WorkWeek, we’ve seen a significant improvement in attendance accuracy.”
- Not Just A Time Saver: “Not only have we reduced the chance of time theft, we noticed an overall better management of employee hours, which has saved us both time and money.”
- Location tracking: “Being able to track where our employees are clocking in has made our lives so much easier. Employees can’t just clock in anywhere, they have to clock in on site.”
- Benefit to Employees, not just Employers: “We would sometimes have problems with the hours, meaning employees could even be paid less if their timesheets were wrong. Now the hours are accurate, so it’s a bonus for our employees because they are being paid for the full hours that they have worked.”
Overall Experience with WorkWeek

Ease of Integration
“Integrating WorkWeek into our existing workflow was seamless. The onboarding process was straightforward, our team quickly adapted to the new system thanks to the user-friendly interface, and the convenience of clocking in with a selfie was a bonus.”
Favourite Feature of WorkWeek Software
- Highly Customisable: “We can tailor WorkWeek’s platform to fit our unique project requirements and different processes, especially with the different clocking options and reporting features.”
- Smiling Faces: “Our employees enjoy clocking in using a selfie, and we enjoyed it too! Our employees even started posing for the pictures, making it fun for them as well.”
- Unity: “We have many employees and so many different sites. We unfortunately didn’t know all of our employees face to face, we only knew them by their employee numbers. Being able to match the employee number to a face was a wonderful thing for us.”
- How To Videos: WorkWeek makes How To Videos that explain the features of the platform, and Nosipho loves them. “The videos are so helpful. They’re simple and straightforward
