This was one of questions posed to one of ATS Business Practice Lead a year ago, during a visit to a multi-site food manufacturing plant in western Canada. The plant manager and CFO who were the project leaders of a 15 person steering committee, wanted to make sure they had a thorough understanding of the benefits and most notably, the ROI of such a huge project. In addition, to the benefits, they were also particularly concerned that the implementation of biometric time clocks might create a “Big Brother” mentality within their company’s long serving workforce. Once we were able to ally the fears of the ATS time clocks, we discussed the benefits of in great detail to the satisfaction of the group.
By replacing your company’s manual attendance tracking you can now:
- Replace handwritten notes and employee time-off request through automation, thereby, eliminating wasted time and resources
- Respond to provincial, municipal, federal and work rule compliance and collective bargaining agreements and changes quickly as they evolve
- Manage employee accrual benefits and other HR information, such as vacation planning and performance reviews
- Use workflows that present real time status so that errors are flagged and corrected before exporting to payroll or other third-party software programs.
- Give your managers the ability to view employee hours from any workstation or smart phone with Internet access 24/7 365 days a year
- Eliminate the use of servers, operating system and database license, or technology infrastructure investments.
- Improve workforce productivity and control costs, by reducing ineffective administrative functions and freeing employee time so, they can focus on more valuable tasks
The benefit of a time clock system is monumental and when combined with ATS time tracking modules, you will realize a return on investment (ROI) in the matter of weeks not months. To learn more about ATS time and attendance system, go to our website or contact a representative at 866.294.2467.
