The way Europe works and communicates is changing. Hybrid and fully remote work models are now a reality for many EU enterprises and this shift has resulted in a significantly expanded attack surface for threat actors.

One day, a short “Okay.” in a team chat that suddenly feels colder than an Arctic breeze. No smiley. No thumbs-up. Just that dot.

That’s when I thought, maybe we are following the wrong pattern of work.

So, you sit down and crack your knuckles, ready to calculate employee hours like a boss. However, frustration takes over. Relatable. Isn’t it? There are many things to take into account to calculate employee work time accurately. Plus, don’t forget to include overtime and time off (paid and unpaid) to accrue payroll processing. Errors here can be costly. $71700 per 1000 employees, to be precise. Plus, don’t forget that up to 4% of payroll costs can go into correcting payroll errors.
