Your Tips for Purchasing a Time and Attendance System
1. Installation planning
Agree in advance on a plan for installation that specifies the duration of the job, and is clear about what in-house technology and staffing resources your company is expected to provide.

2. Documentation
Make sure the company supplies manuals and user documentation for the entire system.

3. Take training seriously
Ensure adequate training is provided to your staff. Upfront instruction of the more advanced reporting tools can be an important motivator for staff to adopt these new productivity tools.
