How To Approve Time Cards In Minutes
The article explains how small to mid-size businesses can speed up time card approvals and avoid payroll delays by automating time and attendance with TimeWorksPlus, using the mobile app TimeWorks Mobile for easy employee clock-ins and supervisor reviews, and employing schedule enforcement tools to ensure accurate punch times, prevent time fraud, and maintain compliance with labor regulations.
Do time card approvals take forever? Here are three ways you can speed up time card approvals and never miss the payroll deadline again.
1. Automate Time And Attendance
Upgrade your timekeeping system. TimeWorksPlus automates employee timekeeping for fast time card approvals. It is designed for small to mid-size businesses with hourly employees.
TimeWorksPlus automatically captures punches and creates web-based time cards. It integrates with physical time clocks or you can use the built-in web portal.
TimeWorksPlus is inexpensive and improves efficiency for all HR processes. When you automate timekeeping, you end up with far fewer errors, reducing the time spent researching and correcting them.
2. Use A Mobile App
TimeWorks Mobile is the companion app to TimeWorksPlus. With TimeWorks Mobile, all you need is a web browser. Employees can punch in with any internet-connected device, and supervisors can view time cards on their smartphones. The systems are cloud-based, so you don’t have to install software on your company computers.
3. Use Schedule Enforcement
The schedule enforcement tools in TimeWorksPlus ensure that employees are clocking in and out when they are supposed to, eliminating missed punches. When the time cards are complete, time card approval is a breeze.
Schedule enforcement also simplifies compliance with Federal Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and fair scheduling regulations. Automation increases efficiency and accuracy, saving money. Schedule enforcement prevents unplanned overtime and hours padding. Centralization allows supervisors to see all the time cards in one place.
If you have a problem with time fraud at your organization, consider a biometric time clock. A biometric time clock requires a physical attribute for identification, making buddy clocking impossible.
