Biometric clocks and the latest generations of time and attendance software represent a great leap forwards in terms of workforce management – and certainly, they offer a lot of capabilities which a traditional time clock or time sheets can’t. Modern biometric time clocks allow businesses to maintain an accurate and fully accountable time and attendance record which make payroll quick and easy as well as saving untold amounts of money over the life of the system. They’re used by virtually every size of company in any industry and if you’re wondering if a biometric clock can produce savings and other benefits for your business, the answer is absolutely yes.

For a long time, the humble Bundy clock did a reasonably good job of helping businesses to keep track of employee time and attendance, especially since there weren’t a lot of alternatives. However, there is a lot that a mechanical time clock can’t do; for instance, keeping your company’s facilities secure from uninvited guests through biometric time and attendance systems or the use of proximity cards. Even though a robbery during business hours probably isn’t that great of a concern for most businesses, there are other threats which are more likely to affect the typical company which are equally serious.

Does your business use handwritten paper timesheets to keep track of employee time and attendance? How about an old mechanical Bundy clock? Either way, you’re making a mistake every day that you continue to use them. These older time tracking solutions work to a certain extent, but they’re definitely not the best way to go and the longer you keep using them, the more money that your company stands to lose.

If your business’ office is like most, you probably have a relatively small number of employees, more than likely fifty or less. If yours is a typical office, you also probably still use a mechanical Bundy clock; while it’s served its purpose for decades, it is not an ideal tool for effective workforce management and it is high time that you made a change in how you deal with time and attendance. Rather than a mechanical time clock, it now makes far more sense to use an electronic Bundy clock and time and attendance software in order to increase the efficiency of your business, reduce labor costs and save your employees valuable time.

If there are two things that concern everyone who owns or manages a business, they are building security and workforce management, particularly in the area of employee time and attendance. They are both complex issues, but finding solutions to your company’s security and HR problems doesn’t have to be. In fact, this is one case where it is entirely possible to kill two birds with one stone and enjoy higher security while increasing the profitability of your firm – a true win-win situation if there ever was one.

Human resources are the core of any business; after all, the most valuable asset that any company possesses is the pool of talent represented by its staff. As such, making sure that your business stays on top of the most essential piece of the human resources and workforce management puzzle is critical to the success of your company – and that piece is of course employee time and attendance.

A standard mechanical employee time clock, in many cases, just won’t cut it as far as keeping your business running efficiently goes. A Bundy clock and other older time clocks simply do not have the kind of accuracy that the modern business environment demands. Now, if you want to keep up with your competition, you need to keep in control of your labor costs, which means using an electronic employee time clock along with employee time and attendance software.

Every business owner, just like every other individual on the planet, understands the importance of preserving the environment and doing their part to reduce the collective impact of humanity on the planet. As the owner or manager of a business, you’ve probably already taken some steps to make your business a little greener; from energy efficient computer monitors to LED lighting, there are a lot of small steps which you can take which not only help reduce the impact of your business on the environment but also save you money.

However, there is another thing which you can do to make your company greener while helping out your bottom line simultaneously; and it has to do with that old Bundy clock over there. While it may not seem like it at first, they go through a lot of paper in the form of punch cards; and if you’re using hand written time sheets instead of a mechanical punch clock, you’re wasting even more paper. You can eliminate this source of waste and save yourself money in more ways than one, starting by eliminating punch cards, time sheets and ink ribbons for mechanical employee time clocks from your budget.

Time and attendance is one of the most important aspects of any business; unless your business is a sole proprietorship or you’ve somehow managed to land an all-volunteer staff, then labor costs and more importantly, keeping track of labor costs is a vital concern for the health and future growth of your firm. How you track attendance and hours makes all the difference; and an old mechanical Bundy clock just doesn’t make the cut anymore.

Forward thinking business owners are abandoning the classic mechanical employee time clock in favor of biometric time clocks which can be integrated with the latest time and attendance software in order to accurately keep tabs on employee time and attendance. The new generation of electronic clocks which incorporate biometric technology provide performance and accuracy which no Bundy clock, no matter how well maintained, can compete with. (more…)

Small and medium businesses have the same concerns as any other companies. The most pressing of these for the average owner or manager of a small to medium size business are security and of course, keeping operating expenses down. With a modern biometric employee time clock and compatible time and attendance software, it can be easy to ensure both higher security as well as a healthier bottom line.

Many owners of small and medium size business have assumed that biometric employee time clocks are something which are outside of their price range and at one time that may have been the case. However, continual advancements in the technology behind biometric time clocks and time and attendance software now mean that you don’t have to have the kind of resources available to large multinational corporations in order to make accurate, accountable time and attendance tracking a part of your business strategy.

Effective time management is one of the most important parts of running your business efficiently. Every cent matters when it comes to your operating expenses and labor costs are of course one of the largest parts of any business’ overhead. While these costs are largely unavoidable – after all, without paying reasonable wages, your company would be unable to attract and retain talented employees. However, you’re probably paying too much for labor, whether you know it or not; the problem is most likely with your employee time clock, at least in a manner of speaking. (more…)
