Save time and energy by switching to Web-based time and attendance software

Web-based attendance software saves companies time and resources, yet for some reason, many businesses still find themselves using paper timesheets.

While it is much easier to avoid buddy punching and other forms of time theft using an automated attendance software, there are many other reasons employers should consider switching to an electronic system.

Paper time sheets can cause large numbers of clerical errors, often because handwriting can be difficult to read. Similarly, paper can get lost more easily than computer data and is far more likely to be subject to physical damage. With Web time and attendance software, employee data is safely archived, allowing future access in case disputes arise.

Time and attendance software is fast and efficient. Especially for offices that employ mobile workers, a paper time card simply won't cut it. Payroll errors can result from inefficient communication concerning employee hours. With a mobile app, however, field workers can clock in on their phones, no matter where they are, providing immediate data to the payroll system.

Web clocks allow business owners to see the bottom line more quickly. With older systems, lag time in calculating payroll can lead to a delay in determining total job costs and hours worked, which can be detrimental to small businesses. With the changes put in place by the Affordable Care Act, having up-to-date numbers regarding hours is necessary for businesses to remain in compliance.

For businesses that still use paper time cards, it may be time to make the change to a Web time clock.
