When it comes to keeping track of the hours your team members work, letting them clock in and out themselves might seem like the easiest solution. But when your employees have to manually clock in and out, it can lead to a plethora of issues, including accidental time theft, payroll inaccuracies, and even safety issues if you don’t have an idea of how many employees are working. Luckily, there’s a way to address these issues: using automated timekeeping.
What is Automated Timekeeping?
Automated timekeeping involves using various software and tools to keep track of the hours that your employees work. It eliminates the need for an employee-controlled system, such as a time card or online system they use to log their hours. Instead of leaving timekeeping responsibilities to the employees, automated timekeeping software tracks their hours worked on certain devices.
The Benefits of Automated Timekeeping
Cut Down on Human Error
When an employee is handling their own timekeeping, it can increase the risk of human errors. For example, they could forget to clock in after coming back from lunch. When this happens, it can lead to payroll inaccuracies, which can be a massive legal and financial headache for employers. By automating the timekeeping process, business owners reduce the risk of human error.
Increase Accuracy
Similarly, automated timekeeping gives employers a better idea of when their employees are working, and the hours they are working. This is especially helpful when it comes to workplace safety. By knowing how many employees are working, employers can be sure they take the right steps to create a safer environment and meet all labor laws.
Streamline the System
Most automated timekeeping systems can be used in tandem with your other bookkeeping and payroll systems. This puts all your payroll information in one place, which saves time and stress.
