It's Only Human

As good as we know MyTimeCards is, neither it nor any automated timekeeper can make your company totally compliant with federal and state wage and hour laws. Compliance takes more than accurate employee tracking. It takes people, more specifically it takes supervisors. There are assurances of compliance that only direct supervision can give:

• that employees are actually taking the breaks automatically deducted by the automated system


• that employees are not working before they are clocked in or after they are clocked out


• that employees are correctly classified as exempt or non-exempt from FLSA regulations


• that non-exempt employees with tip work are not spending more than 20% of their time doing non-tip tasks


• that employed minors are not doing prohibited activities...and more

Automated timekeeping brings many benefits to employers - significant savings in staff time, reduced costs, elimination of errors, but it cannot completely replace humans. Employers who rely solely on automation do so at their own peril. For a real-world case-in-point, take a look at the Applebee's Story.
