Why Use Time and Attendance Software

        

How was Time and Attendance Data Collected?

In the past companies and businesses collected their employee time and attendance data using a simple time record book. With more employees came the emergence of the mechanical punch clock. This punch clock either physically punched holes in time cards or simply printed onto the time cards. These cards were collected by the pay office and the weekly payroll was tallied from there using either a ledger, spreadsheet or payroll software. It is important to note many companies out there still use these methods.

Problems with Outdated Manual Time and Attendance Systems.

Main problems associated with manual time and attendance tracking systems are found in the data collection and data processing. Data collection is reliant on employee honesty. Problems can occur when employees don't accurately record their start and end times in the time record book or in the case of the punch clock 'buddy punching' is a familiar term when employees clock in or out for each other.

When processing this employee information the office administrator or payroll staff would expend up to 5 minutes per employee entering attendance data, then someone else may have to manually examine the reports and calculate pay amounts and overtime. This may seem simple but throw shift allowances, daily and weekly overtime into the mix and it becomes much more complex and there are many opportunities for errors.
