It’s true that there are still a lot of companies out there which use time sheets and a mechanical clock; or perhaps even handwritten time sheets alone to keep track of employee time and attendance. While this method has served us well for a long time now, it’s getting more than a little old fashioned by this point.  There are a lot of arguments to be made in favor of switching to a new biometric time clock instead of staying with your old mechanical Bundy clock – for instance, all the money your firm will save by making this much needed upgrade.

Accountability is a word which gets thrown around a lot in the workplace, especially in connection to the topic of employee time and attendance systems.

Every company loses money in some way or another; after all, even the tightest ship can’t avoid the inevitable pinhole leak here and there. It’s really a question of where the leaks are and how large they are – as well as how well the crew of the ship is able to deal with these leaks when they do occur. However, some leaks are larger and most certainly avoidable. If you haven’t guessed by now, we’re not really talking about ships or you as the owner or manager of a company in your capacity as captain. What we’re here to talk about is one of the biggest money leaks any company deals with – employee time theft. Whether by accident or by design, it costs your company money but thankfully, there is a way to plug this particular leak once and for all and it’s as easy as deploying a new CS time clock. (more…)

If you’ve been following this space at all, you must be aware of the benefits of using an electronic CS clock and the advantages of deploying a biometric access control system. There is a lot that this new technology can offer your business, including large savings which continue year after year, with the initial investment in a new time clock and time and attendance software quickly paying for themselves. However, there are still many business owners and managers out there who are not quite convinced to take the plunge and adopt these new, money and time saving technologies yet – but that may be about to change.

If you own or manage a medium sized to larger business, you may already be aware of the latest regulatory requirements. Of course, there are also many people out there who are running businesses who aren’t up to date on one very important regulation which has to do with the area of employee time and attendance.

In case you weren’t aware of this fact, every Australian employer (or foreign company which employs people in the nation of Australia) must maintain employee attendance records for every member of their staff who is paid less than $55,000 per year as their base salary. Even if these employees actually earn more than this amount in a calendar year due to bonuses or overtime pay, these records must be maintained. (more…)

There are far too many companies out there who are still using a Bundy clock or some other style of old fashioned mechanical time clock to track their employee time and attendance. It’s a shame that so many businesses seem resigned to stay behind the times when there are quite simply much better alternatives available. If your company is one of the slowly dwindling number of firms who are still using one of those museum pieces for their attendance tracking needs, it’s time to trade it in and trade up to a CS clock or a biometric time clock – and besides all of the benefits and all of the savings you’ll see as a result, The Bioshop is now sweetening the deal by offering a 5% discount to customers who trade in their Bundy clock and upgrade to a modern timekeeping system. If you’ve been on the fence so far about making the switch, this should be exactly what you need to give you a nudge in the right direction. (more…)
