Time and the Bottom Line

Time Tracking System, Biometric Time Clocks Improve the Bottom Line for Contract Facility Management Company

 

A privately-held correctional facility management company in the Southeastern U.S. recently implemented a web-hosted time and attendance system and biometric time clocks. The new solution automatically interfaces with payroll, centralizes the payroll process and offers needed reporting capabilities.

With the near-anywhere access and speed, the company significantly cut costs and improved access to employee time and attendance data anywhere, anytime. Plus, the organization pays only for the number of employees using the system, and avoids costly upfront capital expense of purchasing and maintaining a software license.

Biometric Time Recorders

The company also switched to biometric time clocks which use biometric technology to eliminate timecard fraud. Buddy punching became virtually obsolete.

The hand reader clock verifies an employee’s identity using the size and shape of each employee’s hand. Workers do not need a badge, identification card, password, or PIN which makes enrolling new contract workers much easier.

The hand reader time clocks provide a quick return on investment by eliminating the cost associated with administrating and managing paper timesheets.

Web Hosted Time Tracking

Now, Attendance on Demand monitors employee start/end time, pay rates, scheduling, and attendance for nearly 100 employees over a highly secure internet connection, instantly exporting data into corporate payroll.

Employees enter start/end times directly using the biometric hand geometry reader, and employee start/end times are instantly updated and available to the corporate office. Attendance on Demand is available on a subscription basis — speeding implementation, minimizing the expenses and risks.

Advanced Capabilities

The “on demand” delivery model lets the company access the service over the web instead of buying stand-alone software. The company is charged only by the number of employees – which might fluctuate given the amount of contracts or locations.

All told, this new process lets the company manage labor resources more efficiently, accurately track and schedule their contract workforce, and gives them the ability to make timely decisions that benefit the bottom line.
