Employees of the Sullivan County government in Pennsylvania aren't tallying up their hours manually any longer, thanks to investments in advanced timeclocks, according to The Daily Review.

"Now we no longer use manual time sheets," Sullivan County technical assistant Arthur Cairns told the source. "Everything is done, for the most part, electronically."

Whereas staff members were once asked to record their time and attendance totals manually on timesheets, they now have to type in an employee PIN or swipe a finger into biometric timeclocks, the news outlet explained. The investment will pay for itself through savings in payroll processing efficiency.

Other employers have similarly found that updated timekeeping systems are cost-effective because they can reduce employee fraud and liability for Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) violations. Because the platforms generate accurate records of employee attendance based on electronic entries, employers can easily produce scheduling histories if requested in Department of Labor audits.

Switching to electronic payment processing can also help organizations achieve their sustainability goals, according to Greener Ideal. Unlike physical timesheets, online payroll records don't need to be printed every week for employees. Instead, human resources professionals can access time and attendance totals digitally to calculate wages at the end of each pay period.
