5 Reasons to Automate Your Timekeeping Burden

Accurately tracking employee time is a critical part of being an employer. Manually tracking time is labor intensive, inefficient, and can cause troubles with inaccuracies, missed or short meal breaks and inability to properly retain records in case of a labor claims. It doesn’t have to be this hard!

Let’s look at how you can reduce your liability, save time and money and make your life a little easier.

Every employer must track in and out times for their employees, including for meal breaks. With recent legal cases involving work off the clock and meal breaks, its more important than ever to have a strong timekeeping policy and automated system to reduce the potential for time-theft or wage and hour claims.

Not only can automated timekeeping protect you, but it’s a powerful savings tool for employers. You get great convenience for employees and management, and it can also dramatically reduce labor costs.

Today’s timekeeping technology is as sophisticated as you need it to be, with biometric entries, GPS location tracking, scheduling, job costing and even alerts to tell you when employees miss their meal break. Regardless of your business size, time tracking software helps to streamline the critical process monitoring your employee’s time.

Through an automated timekeeping system, your employees can also request time off and automatically get paid (or not paid) for scheduled holidays. This saves you the burden of remember to add those hours in.

Here are 5 top reasons to convert your timekeeping to an automated time system:

Track real hours worked: No employee fudging minutes or hours, eliminate wasted labor minutes.

Reduce administrative costs: Automate time tracking and save time and money by streamlining the chore of processing payroll.

Eliminate “buddy punching”: Prevent tardiness and employee time theft.

Reduce wage and hour claims: Obtain employee timecard approval each week, even if you’ve made necessary edits.

Eliminate unapproved overtime minutes: Use a rounding schedule that rounds to the nearest 3, 5 or 6 minutes to the hour.

If those reasons aren’t enough, how about getting all this for just $2.00 per employee per month? That’s right, the cost of streamlining your timekeeping technology is affordable and carries an unquantifiable return on investment. Whether you use a mobile or PC based system, or a biometric clock, it’s very easy to streamline your timekeeping process.
