You would be disappointed and angry if you didn't get your correct salary. That's why we initially work right? You have to put food on the table every day! Payroll is so basic that if you don't make it right, you not only have people banging on your doors asking for their money but also a legal suit.
It's not a surprise to have Bundy clocks, attendance is consolidated manually in an Excel sheet and payroll is computed the same. With this though, you expect human error to occur. If more money is available to get a sophisticated system to increase inefficiency, especially if the company grows to hundreds or even thousands, then it is logical to get it.
Nevertheless, implementing anything new has some kind of learning curve. When payroll personnel relies on it too much, even without the seal of approval it's in working order, then you only expect trouble.
Make sure you have a tight payroll system. Do the old fashioned way if you're not sure your system is accurate . Put a check and balance system in place. Set policies when hours are being entered into the system and overtime pay is needed to be computed. Deadlines should be set for manual tracking.
You wouldn't want a “walk out” or a “massive log-off” to happen.
