I work for a company that goes on the honor system for doing payroll instead of having a time clock system. We were to keep track of our hours and turn in our slip at the end of the pay period. For as long as I was doing this it always caused some kind of problem. I wrote down the time I walked in the door, what time I took lunch, and what time I left for the day. I never added more minutes to my time; I never even rounded up like so many other people would do. It seemed like every pay period they had some kind of question concerning my time. It was a never ending battle and I was getting very tired of it.
A friend of my husbands who owns his own business told me about the telephone time clock that he uses in his office. The employees just call the number associated with their employee number and their time in and out is recorded. At the end of the pay period the payroll clerk can have all the data sent to her and all the guess work is eliminated. It’s still based on an honor system but at least the information is in black and white and is hard to dispute.
I brought all the information to my boss and they finally installed the time attendance tracking program for us to use. It has been six months since we began using it and not once has there been a problem with my check. My life is so much less stressful now that I don’t have to keep up with my own time; I just make my call and forget it. More small businesses should consider using this type of program for keeping up with employees times; it’s been a wonderful addition to our office.
