Time managing has always been used in the offices, though the methods have changed considerably over the years.

Regardless of the size of your office, if you have employees, then you require a time tracking system that makes both time-keeping and payroll accurate and straightforward. Luckily, time clock tools today are more effective and precise than ever. They can assist in simplifying the time tracking and payroll method considerably, allowing you to ensure that employees are accurately paid for hours they worked. Watchman Clock

Here are some reasons you’ll want to think about making the switch today.

Accuracy with Time Tracking

As per the American Payroll Association, time theft is committed by at least 43 percent of all staff. With time clock devices, your employees will be held loyal and less likely to invest time theft. Time clock software will also have a track of paid and unpaid breaks, as well as paid sick time, overtime, time off, and more. Without a time clock, it may be difficult to accurately calculate time, especially when you have any number of variables.

Easier Payroll Processing

One of the main advantages of time clock software is to make the payroll process more correct, but it also helps make the process simple for all involved. Before time clock software became integrated with payroll software, it was up to the person processing payroll to convert and calculate the total hours they worked. This could often be a long and time-consuming process, one that carried the risk of potentially costly errors.

Accurate Employee Tracking

Some time tracking programs today can also collect GPS data. This means that you can collect GPS coordinates each time your employees punch in or out. This makes it simple to determine when your employees were at work, and when they weren’t. This can be especially useful when your employees are working off-site or working from home. Since it allows you to see how much hours they spent at a particular work, as well as when staff arrived and when they left. Time Recorder

Simplify Life for Employees

Having a time clock device also simplifies life for your staff, making the process of clocking in and out easier. Again, for workers who work off-site, this means that when they are finished with the job, they can clock out from where they are instead of having to return to the primary office. It also helps to give you work from home arrangements, improving accuracy and accountability. Making things easier also reduces the chance of cheating or excuses!

Help Prevent Excessive Punch Rounding

If you’re still using a conventional punch clock or physical timesheet at your company, chances are you ‘punch round.’ Most companies will do this to the nearby 15-minute mark. The problem with punch rounding in 15-minute increments though, is that these outwardly insignificant minutes can add up significantly over-time. With a time clock device, though, you can make your own rules for the company. Some allow you to round to the nearby 2-minute increment, drastically improving accuracy.
