We’re all familiar with the Bundy clock. This time and attendance system has been with us for generations and while one may be tempted to stick with what has been a more or less reliable style of time clock for such a long time, there are now clocks which improve upon the classic mechanical clock and time card system of attendance tracking. Just like we don’t use old fashioned adding machines in our office accounting departments (not most of us, anyway), it just makes good sense to keep up with the times, especially when doing so can save your firm money.

There’s a better class of Bundy clock available to your business; one with a great many features which your old time clock can’t offer you. These new electronic models are much more accurate than their mechanical counterparts, as well as providing your business with the kind of accountability and traceability which you’ll never find in a mechanical Bundy clock.

Not only do they outpace these older models in this way, but they also make life a lot easier for your company’s accounting personnel (or whoever has the task of handling payroll duties for your firm). These modern employee time and attendance solutions simplify payroll processing through their ability to be networked and send employee hours to your payroll software; they’re compatible with the vast majority of popular accounting and payroll packages. The impact that these new and improved time clocks can have on your bookkeeping or human resources department alone makes them an investment well worth looking into.

There’s also the fact that these clocks don’t require ink, time cards or any other supplies which constantly need restocking and ordering; so you’ll also save money by eliminating these items from your budget. Instead of printing time in and out on a conventional time card, a modern electronic clock handles employees clocking in and out using their fingerprints, an individually assigned PIN code or a tag which is read by an integrated proximity sensor. No matter which of these options you choose, it’s a lot easier than dealing with time cards or time sheets – and a whole lot less costly.

Even though labor is one of your operating expenses that you probably thought you really couldn’t do much to reduce save for taking drastic measures, just installing a better time clock can make all the difference in the world. Your company has far too much to gain by moving ahead and using these newer technologies for your time and attendance system. Maybe they don’t have the quaint charm of a mechanical clock, but you really won’t mind once you see how much you’ll be able to help out your bottom line.
