How can a Time and Attendance system benefit your
business?
A time and attendance system will:
- Simplify your staff planning requirements; helping you to
organise cover for holidays and sickness
- Eliminate timesheet errors. No longer will there be
problems of "rounding-up" hours or management forgetting work
undertaken by staff outside of their normal working hours. No
more time management time wasted resolving disputes over hours
worked
- Reduce your time spent producing paperwork to calculate
payments and holiday entitlement
- Reduce your storage needs. Keeping relevant paperwork for
reference can be cumbersome and at times logistically
difficult. Computerised storage is more efficient; it reduces
the need for space and it's easier to search for relevant
documents.
- Allow you to plan efficiently and effectively for new business
projects or account wins.
- Improve your levels of security and confidentiality.
What is a Time and Attendance System?
Time and attendance systems are usually IT based systems that
provide companies with the capability to collect employee data
regarding working patterns. The system stores the data
recorded and produces a range of management reports.
These reports can be used to produce project or work plans
allowing you to evaluate your current staffing requirements.
You can then allocate the relevant number of staff required for
your projects. Time and attendance systems will also provide your
payroll department with exact hours employees have worked ensuring
that they are paid the correct amount
