Controlling the Time

My husband and I own a rather large construction company. We have many different projects going on at the same time and many employees who are assigned to remote sites away from our office. Sometimes the jobs we do are out of town, which makes it impossible for our employees to actually clock in. Keeping up with payroll was a real hassle especially when many of our employees work a great deal of over-time. A year ago I took care of that big problem by using a telephone time clock system. This has eliminated 99% of the stress associated with payroll. Our employees simply call to clock in and out and their time is recorded and sent to me daily.

Running a business is difficult and when you have well over a hundred employees the difficulties multiply daily. Time attendance tracking lets us know exactly when and for how long each of our employees are working. We even added some additional information to each of our employee’s time clock profiles that tells us the rate of pay they make. This system has made our lives so much less stressful and has made payroll a much more pleasant task. It used to take me an entire day to figure out time sheets; now I just print off the information from the phone time clock and most of my work is done.

I highly recommend this time-saving product for any company, especially if you have employees that work off site from your main office. The telephone time clock system that we began using has been the difference between hours and hours of tedious work and just clicking a few buttons and having all that information in one report. We’ve also saved thousands of dollars in over paying our employees who were simply guessing how many hours they worked. Now we know exactly how many hours have been worked and all the guessing is behind us.
