Power Up

Web-hosted time and attendance service tracks employee labor, wage data for power equipment dealer.

 

When a lawn and power equipment dealer collected employee time and attendance data with an outdated punch clock and paper cards, the bi-weekly payroll process was an administrative nightmare.

Staffing levels fluctuate dramatically due to the seasonal nature of the work, so when the dealership was fully staffed with both permanent and temp workers, the paper processes were especially cumbersome. The payroll manager had to chase down missing punches, deal with mangled or faulty time cards, and spend a good day preparing wage totals for payroll processing.

An Online Service

Now, the equipment dealer uses Attendance on Demand, a web-hosted time and attendance service for secure, cost-effective labor management — dramatically reducing the effort and cost associated with preparing payroll each month.

The company, the largest independent outdoor power equipment dealer in North America, uses the service to collect and manage time and attendance information for 150 employees based in four locations. Attendance on Demand tracks employee start/end time, pay rates, scheduling, attendance, and more all over a highly secure internet connection, instantly exporting data into their corporate payroll.

Cutting Out the Hassle

“We now have an efficient and affordable way to track and calculate employee time and wage information,” notes the General Manager. “Instead of manually tracking time cards, we just log online. This way, our administrative processes are streamlined, and we can continue to direct our resources to our customer service efforts.”

Employees swipe their badges at any of the seven time clocks located in the four locations. Attendance on Demand is available on a subscription basis — speeding implementation, minimizing the expenses and risks.
