Five Tough Questions to Ask About Your Organization
Ask yourself these questions about the way your organization currently tracks labor, timekeeping and attendance for your employees
Five Tough Questions to Ask About Your Organization
- How many people in your payroll office assemble payroll data each pay period?
- How many hours does it take to tally workers' time cards, or identify missed punches?
- How easily can your supervisors see and adjust work schedules?
- Can your managers quickly calculate real-time employee labor data such as tardies, employee no-shows, or unexcused absences?
- Is it possible to calculate key metrics such as “overtime as a percentage of total labor hours”?
The answers can be eye-opening for management. In addition to streamlining the payroll process, an automated workforce management solution can help you to generate key analytics for improving your decision making.
A Real-Time View
In today’s competitive landscape, there is an ever-increasing need for real-time insight into worker operations. Operating supervisors and managers want to be able to react quickly to unforeseen changes in worker availability and production demands.
Leading companies are feeling the pressure to optimize labor investments while maintaining customer satisfaction and quality of product or service. As a result, workforce management applications increasingly feature real-time capabilities.
Your Advantage
For those companies asking the tough questions, several key advantages come with automating the employee scheduling and time tracking process. Those benefits include:
- having access to centralized information from a single location for employees time and attendance, making data easily accessible, reducing administration time and allowing managers to focus on core business functions
- gaining the ability for automatic approvals, rejection, review of timesheets, vacation requests and other data that speeds the approval process
- accurately calculating overtime and shift differentials for wage rate variations and enforcing policies such as attendance and rounding rules, which saves time consuming, error prone calculations
- exporting all time and attendance data to payroll with a click of a mouse, eliminating the need for manual calculations or data entry, hours, saving time and resources while increasing accuracy through automation
