Whether you’re running a small business with 70 employees or an organization with 15,000 employees, a time and attendance system can make your life easier. But how can you choose a solution that meets your organization’s needs?
Organizations that have always used paper time sheets might be worried about transitioning from a manual system to a time and attendance solution. Once a company discovers how beneficial such a solution can be, they will wonder why their company did not automate this process before.
Here are some of the benefits that businesses gain after transitioning from a manual time tracking process to ATS workforce management software:
Immediate Efficiency
The processing of manual time sheets is fraught with human error. Studies by the Arbeeden Group and the American Payroll Association show that human error typically accounts for 1 to 7% of payroll costs. An ATS workforce management solution automates the tracking of employee attendance and provides information in real-time. At the end of the payroll cycle, employee hours can be sent seamlessly to your payroll application.
Reduce Unproductive Time
When a company’s time capture is being handled manually, payroll professionals, supervisors and HR managers have to verify the following: overtime, long breaks, early arrivals and late departures.
Absence/Vacation Request
The web-based absence request module automates employee time off requests, eliminates paperwork and enhances communication that’s essential between HR department and the employees. The absence/vacation request module enables employees to request personal time off and vacation related information. Employees can request multiple absences and view them in a summary format. Supervisors can approve or deny time-off requests based on availability.
The ATS workforce management software is a complete time and attendance suite with employee scheduling and data export integration capabilities. Payroll is most often the largest expense of any company. Streamlining labour costs with a time and attendance software can have a significant impact on a company’s bottom line.
