I have a small but profitable home business in which I employ three other people. I have never had a typical employee time clock for my employees to clock in with. I’ve just always written down their times on a piece of paper and then calculated their times at the end of the pay period. Recently, however, I decided I needed a better way to keep track of their time so that I always have a good reliable method to keep on record and to make pay day a lot less stressful.
I installed what is known as the telephone time clock that allows my employees to call a number to clock in and out of work. The data is stored for me off site and sent to me electronically when I am ready to do payroll. I no longer have to worry about if I wrote down their times or not; the phone in system is much easier and a more professional way to do my bookkeeping.
This system is an excellent time attendance tracking method that allows my employees to take it upon themselves to call into the system when they come on the clock and go off the clock. They can call from anywhere and since my home business encompasses the fifty acres of land I own, it’s nice that they can go straight to where they need to go without checking in with me first. They just call into the system and then go straight to the work site. It has saved a great deal of confusion and frustration for us all.
I think this is an excellent alternative to the normal time clock so many companies utilize. I can see how this system will become very popular among business owners who rely on their employees to be on work sites that are away from the office.
