Louisiana HVAC
Your Payroll Handoff Is a Weekly Fire Drill in Louisiana
Timesheets come in on paper, get verified by a supervisor, then manually entered into payroll software. Every Friday is a scramble.

How Payroll Handoff Actually Looks in HVAC
The Scenario
Techs text their hours to a dispatcher who enters them into a spreadsheet on Friday. Overtime calculations, on-call premiums, and drive-time splits are done by hand.
The Real Impact
HVAC overtime during summer peaks is where payroll errors hit hardest — one missed OT multiplier on a 60-hour week costs $200+.
What the Research Says
“Paper time tracking inflates payroll error rates to 8% of total payroll. 75% of companies experience some form of time theft, costing up to 7% of payroll annually.”
