Why Automate Time & Attendance? IV

According to HR Management Magazine, "Perhaps the first rule and best practice (for automated timekeeping systems)is that employees should enter data and the software should apply the HR/payroll rules and calculations. This is important to (a) ensure accuracy and consistency in your calculations and (b) eliminate subjectivity in the process of calculating employee pay. Often times pay rules are very complex and automating the calculations should be a key goal."

MyTimeCards Employee Information Screen makes it easy to record and update each employee's salary, hourly rates, exemptions and other vital information, in one location, so all HR rules are applied accurately and consistently.

"The most common myth is that time and attendance systems are only for hourly (non-exempt) employees who need to use badge readers. In fact, modern systems today are deployed enterprise-wide to both hourly and salaried employees via a web-browser to give them the capability to report project hours, report absences, request time off, and perform self service inquiries among other things." * In addition, MyTimeCards accurately calculates paid time off.

Our customized accrual calculation automatically and accurately tracks earned time off for multiple employee types based on your company’s policies regarding hour type (sick, vacation, etc.), employee longevity, and more.

"The Department of Labor recovered more than US$196 million in back wages in 2004 as a result of FLSA violations. Using a time and attendance system makes compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) much easier. Good time and attendance systems will automatically collect time worked, apply overtime rules consistently, and use advance calculations to handle the regular rate of pay calculations. These will all minimize the chance of a labor violation or lawsuit." *

HR Management Magazine says: "Implementing a time and attendance system can save most employers between 2-5 percent of their total payroll in improved efficiencies and staff reductions...These savings stem from a variety of areas, including paper reduction, elimination of ‘time theft’ (hours paid but not worked), managing leave liability, controlling overtime, fewer errors due to automated calculations, eliminating duplicate data entry, and elimination of fines and lawsuits. Overall, a payback period of less than 12 months is typical and is easily justified in almost every organization."

Tracking Volunteers

According to the US Dept of Labor, about 61.8 million people, or 26.4 percent of the American population, volunteered through or for an organization at least once between September 2007 and September 2008. Besides giving back to the community, volunteerism is part of court-ordered community service, college applications, tuition credit at private schools and more, and it can carry a lot of weight. These hours should tracked accurately, but simply. Managing volunteers should not create more work than the volunteers provide.
