One of the local companies providing a payroll timekeeping solution has decided to transfer its customers to a national provider. We’ve spoken to many local businesses that have enjoyed using Swipeclock — and want to continue working with Swipeclock — but want a local partner for payroll.
Applied Payroll Solutions is here to help! We’re a local provider who understands the importance of accurate timekeeping, scheduling, and payroll.
How Do I Choose Employee Timekeeping Tools for My Business?
While the basics of timekeeping and scheduling may be similar for most companies, certain industries have unique challenges and need a payroll timekeeping solution that works for them.
Manufacturing
75% of businesses have problems with time theft. It’s a particular concern in manufacturing where employees can inflate payroll with time theft or unauthorized overtime inflating their payroll. You should look for employee time clocks that prevent employees from:
- Padding hours
- Failing to punch out after unpaid breaks
- Buddy punching
- Out-of-schedule punching
Construction
Construction companies have the added challenge of tracking employees across multiple job sites. If you are using a mobile payroll timekeeping solution, you want to make sure it’s equipped with GPS so you can be assured employees clocked in or out while at the job site.
- Track contractors and employees
- Simplify billing with job costing
- Handle scheduling logistics
- Track skills and licenses
Hospitality
Many staff members are unsupervised in hospitality, so you need a transparent way to track hours across locations. Look for time and attendance systems that will:
- Monitor different employee types and location
- Biometric clock for an accurate clock in/out
- Compliance tracking to prohibit wage and hour violations
- Trade boards allowing employees to pick up extra hours or swap shifts
Healthcare
Scheduling in healthcare can be especially challenging because of the additional regulatory compliance to maintain high-quality patient care. Your payroll timekeeping solution should:
- Track care provider certifications
- Schedule by departments and/or shifts
- Ensure compliance with FLSA and ACA
- Trigger alerts when employees fail to show up
The Benefits of the Right Payroll Timekeeping Solution
The right timekeeping and scheduling solution can make the job of running your business much easier. It will significantly reduce payroll errors and reduce the amount of time you need to spend managing your employees and contractors.
Accurate timekeeping reduces the possibility of time theft. Integrated scheduling options allow you to quickly and easily manage your staffing and prevent coverage gaps.
