Quote of the Month

"The rising interest in automated time and attendance systems is driven by the difficulty in tracking in what has become a rapidly moving target. Organizations must respond to constantly changing market and industry conditions, try to manage an increasingly diverse workforce, and increasingly dispersed workers".

Minding the Bottom Line
Saving time and money is critical to obtaining a competitive edge in an ever-changing marketplace. To ensure your company meets this challenge, the time and attendance system that your organization chooses must be capable of growing with your business.

Whether you are looking to reduce labor costs, protect your organization from increased labor regulations, or access time-sensitive information, it is imperative that your organization takes the time to find the right time and attendance solution for your needs.

The Ideal Time and Attendance Solution for You
While no time and attendance system is perfect, it is a general rule of thumb that organizations should see should seek a system that:
Requires no proprietary hardware or communication software
Offers interactive/real-time data collection
Combines current and historical data in a single query
Allows an unlimited numbers of users to edit and review information
Operates simultaneously on multi-platform environments
Includes Internet and Intranet capabilities
Protects Against Obsolescence
Paper Timesheets - What is the Down Side?
The negative consequences associated with the outdated method of paper time sheets are significant:
Informal tracking of hours and benefit costs impact profits more profoundly than any other line on the P&L
Leads to an excruciatingly long, mistake-prone payroll preparation process
Information voids cause:
- Cost overruns
- Inconsistent application of work rules
- Negative benefit precedents
- Poor decisions (due to lack of real-time management reports)
- Decreased morale
Clearly the accuracy, efficiency, speed and ultimate cost savings that automation brings to the time and attendance arena are staggering.
