Although access management may not be the most important concern of every business owner, efficient workforce management and attendance tracking most certainly are. Regardless of the industry you’re in or the size of your company, it’s important to make sure that you keep track of employee time and attendance in an accurate and accountable way to reduce your operating expenses. As it happens, there is an easy way to take care of both security and attendance at the same time – the answer is to eliminate your Bundy clock and use an electronic time clock in conjunction with time and attendance software and individually assigned staff ID cards for your employees.

1. Improve Building Security

   Employers can choose Magicard printers which allow them to print ID badges for each member of their staff; and these cards can be printed with magnetic strips which can be used as an integral part of your workforce management system for secure, accurate time and attendance management. For the security minded business owner, these ID badges can also provide a higher level of security and access control for your corporate facilities. It’s easy to combine your time and attendance system with an access control system so that you can not only ensure that your employee attendance records are accurate and comply with record keeping regulations while limiting access to sensitive areas of your company’s offices or manufacturing plant.

2. Verify Employee Identification

   If yours is a larger company, then there is another obvious benefit of using ID badges for your workforce – identification. When there are hundreds, even thousands of employees at your facilities on any given day, it can be difficult to keep track of who’s who; but with individual ID badges, it’s easy to tell who is supposed to be there as well as who is not. This is another means of ensuring a higher level of security for your firm as well as improving workforce management procedures.

3. Make Payroll Fast and Easy

   Payroll also goes easier when you use magnetic strip enabled ID cards for your employees. Your electronic time clock can be integrated with your company intranet, with attendance data uploaded to your company’s time and attendance software. This allows you to make your payroll processing a quick and easy task rather than one which takes up a significant amount of your bookkeeping or accounting staff’s time. Instead, it becomes a job which can be handled by a single employee in a matter of minutes – with total accuracy (let’s see your old Bundy clock do that!).

ID badges can provide your company with better security and access, easier payroll processing, streamlined attendance tracking and a more efficient workforce management solution all around. The benefits are easy to see; which is why a growing number of companies are choosing to say farewell to the mechanical Bundy clock and embracing electronic time clocks and magnetic ID card technology.
