Cutting Costly Overtime
RentalMax, the largest general equipment rental chain in Chicago, Illinois, uses time tracking Software as a Service (SaaS) to eliminate unnecessary overtime throughout multiple retail locations.
An Administrative Challenge
A key limitation with previous methods was the time it took to track time and labor data. Notes Karen Laccone, RentalMax HR Manager, "Essentially, the process was only efficient at punch in. After that, we were forced into duplicate-data entry, chasing down missed punches, and double checking balances by store location each payroll period."
In addition, there was no easy way for store managers to review or monitor exceptions such as tardies or missed punches. Overtime trends were hard to spot, and any problem behaviors were only noticed several weeks after they occurred.
A Better Way
Now, Attendance on Demand tracks employee labor and wage data for nearly 100 hourly employees located in 10 stores securely over the web, and streamlines what was once a manually intensive process.
In today's challenging economy, RentalMax appreciated that there is no software to buy, no upfront investment in licenses, no servers or hardware, and no need for costly maintenance. Instead, Attendance on Demand is available via a cost effective per employee subscription fee.
"We're confident that overtime is lower than it has ever been in 12 years of operations," said Laccone. "That's because we see up-to-the-minute labor costs by location, and supervisors take any action needed to reduce unnecessary overtime." |
