The Time Keeper

I am the head of payroll for a very large company. We employ over two hundred people whom don’t all work at the home office. We have several different branch offices but payroll comes from just one office; my office. If you have ever had to gather information from the employee time clock you know this is no easy task; especially when there are other offices around the county.

There are many times employees forget to clock in or they are out on the job site without ever checking in at the office. They have to write down their time and sometimes they just forget. This became a big hassle. Finally I got my boss to begin using the telephone time clock where all the employees call in to clock in and clock out. It’s simple and takes less time than actually clocking in the old fashioned way.

At the end of the pay period I can get all the data from all the employees in one click of the mouse. It lets me know exact times to the second and tallies up all the numbers for me. It has made my job so much easier and less stressful. I don’t know how we ever got along before we got the phone time clock system; I would spend the entire day doing payroll while all my other duties piled up.

The employees don’t mind making the call every day and it sure helps us to know who is working where and for how long. There are times when we absolutely need to know who was working on a certain job and all we have to do is check the time attendance tracking data to get the answer. There is no more guess work about it. I don’t stress about doing payroll anymore.
