Employee Time Management Software – Understanding The Advantages of Automation

Automated solutions, such as time management software from Aussie Time Clocks, are becoming an integral part of workplace, especially when it comes to employee time and attendance tracking. However, in a majority of cases, the HR managers or the entrepreneurs may lack the necessary information that can help them understand what sort of systems is suitable for them and why. More importantly, a lot of Australian small businesses may be unaware of the exact benefits they stand to gain from these systems.

Below, we have discussed just some of the benefits that can be enjoyed by small businesses by implementing automated employee attendance tracking such as the timesheet software from Aussie Time Clocks.

Say Bye Bye To Human Error

Automated timekeeping systems can help ensure that there is never an element of human error in recording, or processing, employee work hours and their wages. Various case studies conducted around the world have clearly demonstrated that time and attendance software is able to provide 100% accuracy which is huge if you take into account the errors experienced with traditional paper timesheets.

Infallible Implementation Of HR Policies

Modern time and attendance solutions offered by ATC are equipped with biometric fingerprint and facial identification features which makes it impossible to evade the timekeeping software.  After implementing these solutions, small businesses can be sure that employee will be completing their shifts along with the assurance of never having to face wage fraud and time theft.

Ensured Improvement In Organisational Productivity

Australian small businesses can be sure of the enhanced efficiency and productivity after the implementation of automated employee time clock software systems at their workplaces. The elimination of time theft results not only in saving of employee wages but it also ensures that employees are able to do more since they are completing their shifts. In addition, bigger businesses can remove multiple tiers of employee after implementing time management software from Aussie Time Clocks.

Quick & Efficient Payroll Processing

The timesheet software is extremely handy when it comes to payroll processing. Small businesses can be relieved of all the stress associated with manual payroll as it becomes possible for them to directly export employee payroll data into the payroll software and process employee wages.

Timesheet Software - Eliminating Human Capital Dependence With Payroll Integration

Payroll is one of the most important aspects of business management no matter what niche your business belongs to or what size it is. If you have employees, you need to pay them for the hours worked. In order to ensure maximum profitability, it is essential for an organisation to be able to do that in a transparent and accurate manner. However, processing payroll can be an extremely time consuming and tedious task, if done manually. Timesheet software systems can help make that dreary task something that can be done within minutes and without any errors.  

What Exactly Are The Shortcomings Of Manual Payroll?

Well, for starters, manual payroll entails complete dependence on human capital to get anything done. This in itself is quite expensive as well as fraught with human error. Process of payroll preparation starts at the initial stage with capture of time and attendance data. When employees clock in, they get their time and attendance recorded either with time cards or with pen and paper timesheets. This data is later collected manually onto a paper sheet or excel spreadsheet at each pay-cycle.

In the absence of automated time and attendance clocks, you need human supervision of the employee clocking in and out to ensure there is no element of time theft. This of course further stretches your resources which are already quite thin if you are a small business. Once it is time for payroll, the employee hours need to be collected from whatever format they are were recorded in and transferred to paper timesheets. After that, this data needs to be processed by the payroll department to prepare wages for employees that are paid on hourly basis.

This process is no walk in the park either, by any stretch of imagination. Just imagine if you have to calculate wages of more than 20 employees most of whom have varying pay grades. You have to manually calculate wages of each employee separately according to his or her pay grade. In addition, you have to make complex calculations such as overtime, paid time off and sick leaves, and taxes and the rest of it.

Cost Of Manual Payroll Management

As you can easily imagine, all that time spent on monitoring employee time and attendance and the subsequent processing of employee payroll carries a certain cost. In addition, there is also an element of human error that can cost around one to five percent of your overall payroll costs. You require human supervision on each stage of time keeping as well as payroll processing to avoid any manipulation of the system and subsequent losses. All of this can be avoided by implementing the timesheet software system.

Modern time and attendance tracking systems are equipped with a software suite that automatically calculates employee hours, overtime, and other complex calculation. Entrepreneurs can export these detailed time and attendance reports into top payroll systems and get this extremely labourious task done with just a few clicks and without any possibility of human error.

Micro Management Or Time Management Software – Which Is Better For Your Business?

Managing a small or medium sized business is a huge undertaking, especially if you are operating with a limited resource pool or capital. Declining economic conditions are also having an impact of the profitability front for these businesses. This, at times, can push small business owners to take matters into their own hands and while trying to better manage their affairs, they end up entangling themselves in micro management issues.

Let’s face the fact that it is not the best usage of an entrepreneur’s time to handle day to day affairs of a business such as time and attendance or payroll. In the end, this leads to diverting their focus away from their business growth activities. To avoid such a situation, you need to make use of automated employee time management software systems to effectively run your payroll.

The above mentioned situations usually stem from the usage of manual time and attendance monitoring, recording, and processing. If that is also the case at your particular workplace, time attendance clock systems from Aussie Time Clocks can help you find a solution for your time management needs.

The Better Alternative, In Every Way

Using time keeping software solutions is the best possible method to manage your employee time in terms of productivity, accuracy, and freeing up of employer time. When you are using manual time tracking, there are bound to be issues such as inaccuracy, proxy attendance, wage fraud and the inevitable wearing of too many hats by the business owner in order to deal with these issues.

All of the above mentioned problems can be easily avoided by implementing workforce time management software systems to eliminate dependence on human supervision. When you choose to record you employee time and attendance with paper timesheets, you are simply inviting micromanagement related problems into your workplace as there is always dependence on human capital for monitoring as well as processing payroll.

Time attendance clock systems from Aussie Time Clocks present the ideal solution for your time management needs and streamline your organisational processes to introduce accuracy, efficiency, and accountability with least amount of human supervision.

Time And Attendance Software – Payroll Made Easy With Automated Time Tracking

Any organisation that wishes to stay competitive and enjoy a good return on its investment needs to accurately track and maintain employee work hours. In addition, Australian businesses are required by law to keep the employee compensation records for at least a period of 7 years. This of course puts additional pressure on employers to store that much information for that long a period. Automated tracking and digital reporting through time and attendance software presents the ideal solution for this requirement.

If we go a decade or so back, it used to be a highly labour-intensive task to track employee work hours when workplaces had manual systems to accomplish this. The task used to become even more tedious when you had to prepare payroll at each pay-cycle and had to calculate employee wages manually. Today, the scenario is totally changed as payroll at the modern workplaces is transformed thanks to automated systems such as the time and attendance clocks resulting in more accurate, swift preparation of payroll. However, there are still a large number of small and medium sized businesses that continue to use pen and paper timesheets. 

Shortcomings Of Manual Payroll

When you use timesheets or punch cards for tracking employee time and attendance, it can take a lot of time to collect that data before it can be used for payroll purposes. Then, you have to manually calculate each employee’s wages against their hourly rates, overtime pay, employee benefits, insurance contributions and the rest of it. As can be imagined, the end result is a complete dependence on human capital to get the job done which has its own costs, not to mention the additional drawbacks in terms of human error. Now if you were to implement an automated solution such as the time and attendance software system, all of the above could be done in a jiffy, greatly reducing the possibility of error.

Additional Benefits Of Automating Your Payroll

Automated workforce solutions are not just beneficial in tracking or recording employee hours but also provide invaluable help in payroll processing.Small businesses can export detailed time and attendance reports into their payroll systems such as MYOB and other top software or even integrate their time and attendance clocks with other payroll systems.

uAttend - Adding Geo-Locations to your iPhone / Android Apps

A recent update to your uAttend application saw option to restrict where you allow your employee's to be able to sign in/off from when using their uAttend phone app.

Previously, an employee could sign in/off from anywhere and the street address would be stamped to their time, allowing you to know they were on-site. This meant that constant monitoring would be needed to ensure those clockings where made at the correct street address.

You can find the new Geo-Locations option under the Users tab.

The new Geo-Locations feature allows you to restrict the employee's phone app to only work within a radius of the street address you specify.

You can also then tag which employee's can sign on/off at those locations. Employee's can also be tagged to multiple locations.

The Geo-Locations feature is available for all uAttend customers and will work with both iPhone and Android phone app clockings.

Bundy Clocks - Still Working For Small Businesses

Bundy clocks have been around for over 100 years.  The bundy clock, about the size of a small office printer, sites in cafe's, retail shops, factories, warehouses and offices Australia-wide, printing weekly timecards for payroll work hours.

What makes Bundy Clocks still relevant today?

Simple to use:
The bundy clock system is a simple, easy to use time recording system.  Simple insert the time card into the top of the bundy clock and the card will automatically feed down into the bundy clock, print the date and time in the correct box and the card will then be feed back out.  No computers, no networking.  A printed time card...it's that simple.

Easy to install:
Bundy clocks can easily be installed by the small business owner or supervisor.  Aussie Time Clocks pre-programme their Bundy Clocks so when the system arrives at the customers business, simply plug it into a power-point and you can start using it straight away.  The bundy clock can easily sit on a desk or shelf, or if you would like it wall mounted just put two screws on the wall and the jobs done!  To hold the time cards a time card rack sits next to the bundy clock to hold all the time cards.  Time card racks need to be wall-mounted and two screws on the wall does the trick!  5 minutes later and 4 screws on the wall and your new bundy clock system is fully installed.

For Aussie small businesses looking for the simplest and most affordable way to keep track of their employees work hours, a bundy clock is still a great option.
