As a Human Resources (HR) professional, time management is key to performing your job well.

With the constant stream of tasks from hiring to figuring out payroll services, things can sometimes become overwhelming.

Time and attendance software can help you save time and money. There are a number of options currently available to match the needs of your company, whether you work with a small business or large corporation.

Here are 3 common types of software systems to take into account as you consider time and attendance software for your office.

Web-Based Time Clock Systems

Web-based time clock systems have benefits and pitfalls.

If your employees travel often, but work at a monitored rate, a web-based system allows them to clock in from wherever they can access the internet…

  • You can save the company money by keeping to-the-minute time records
  • Employees can clock in and out from offsite locations. This is a great tool for companies who employees work remotely. However, time theft can occur more easily. A few minutes here and there can quickly add up
  • Pricing for web-based systems are usually monthly. Small business owners may able to budget for this more easily than paying a lump sum up front
  • Some web-based time and attendance systems allow for the integration of payroll software

If you want to reduce the number of programs used in your office, a web-based system may be the way to go.

Onsite Systems

With high-tech time and attendance solutions you can easily and accurately collect data on hours worked, track vacation time, sick time and even break time…

  • On-site time and attendance systems also allow to-the-minute time records
  • Depending on the size of your offices and the number of employees, you may have to invest in more than one on-site system, increasing the overall cost
  • Some automated timekeeping systems integrate easily with popular finance and payroll programs, saving you time and money
PC-Based Systems

If you have a small business or office, such as a small retail boutique, a PC-based time system may work the best. Employees can log in using the same computer and different accounts…

  • You may not need an internet connection, depending on the software, which can come in handy if your business is in a remote location
  • Depending on the software, you can manage all reports from the same computer where employees log in. You won’t need additional software or hardware
  • Employee time theft or inflation is less likely to occur than with a web-based systems as employees must be present to clock in

Time and attendance software can control employee absenteeism by keeping better and more accurate records. It can also reduce employee time theft and employ the latest time and attendance technology to your benefit.

You can make payroll easier by automatically integrating time and attendance records with your payroll software or system.

Do the research about which system works best for your company and you can find the software that benefits your company most… and makes your job in HR much easier.
