Change is often difficult for some organizations, in part, because fear of the unknown is at the heart of the decision making process of some businesses. By now, cloud software solutions should be no stranger businesses especially, when you consider how ubiquitous it has become. Yet, despite that, a small percentage of businesses still stick to their pen, paper and desktop software.
Here are some of the things you can look forward to, if you decide to take the leap, and embrace a cloud computing technology.
Say good-bye to that filing cabinet
Storing employee reports in a filing cabinet? Just think about the amount of time, your payroll practitioner spends manually editing employee hours, chasing down department managers to confirm employees’ time- and then having to store that information in filing cabinet for future reference. Why bother? The cloud gives you the power to get up-to-the-minute reports all of which can be accessed, anytime, anywhere, 365 days a year.
Employee time-off requests
The days of employees walking to the HR office to submit a vacation request is quickly becoming a thing of the past and with good reason. With the surge of cloud computing apps that employees can access through their mobile device or workstations, requesting a day off makes the cloud an attractive proposition.
Vacation pay, overtime and accrual benefits
Spreadsheets can be a good tool for other tasks, but using it to track vacation, over time and accruals? With a cloud time and attendance, there is no need for spreadsheets. An ATS Time and Attendance Leave Management module automates the enforcement and tracking of provincial, federal, state, and employer-specific leave polices and requirements for a variety of qualified leave types, including family medical leave, and other related absences and provide notifications for managers and employees provide real-time updates on eligibility and case activities.
It should be noted, that resistance to change is inherent in all of us, even the ones who claim to be agents of change.
