How To Decrease Labor Costs With Automated Overtime Alerts
WorkforceHub from Swipeclock offers an affordable, cloud-based workforce management system with automated, customizable overtime alerts, employee self-service shift trades, and centralized timekeeping data to help businesses reduce labor costs, ensure compliance with labor regulations, and improve productivity and decision-making.
Paying time and a half for overtime can quickly increase your labor costs. If your staff is already stretched thin, supervisors and HR teams may have a lot to manage without also policing overtime for every shift. In addition to the impact on your bottom line, you must also comply with regulations such as ACA, FMLA, DOL, and WHD hours provisions.
You don’t need to hire more supervisors to manage overtime, which would further increase your labor costs. WorkforceHub from Swipeclock offers an affordable, user-friendly system that can be implemented quickly. WorkforceHub includes TimeSimplicity (an advanced scheduling solution) and TimeWorksPlus (a time and attendance solution).
Customizable “set-it-and-forget-it” overtime notifications can minimize overtime management to just a few minutes a week!
Manage Overtime Easily With WorkforceHub’s Schedule Enforcement
- Define how many hours each team member is authorized to work
- Set an automatic SMS or email alert to be sent to any supervisor or employee in your business
- When the supervisor is alerted, they can instruct the employee to clock out if needed
Employee Self Service Takes the Hassle Out of Shift Trades
Overtime management is just one of the powerful, convenient tools in the comprehensive cloud-based Workforce Management system. Managers can also become more efficient by using the Virtual Trade Board, which allows employees to handle shift trades themselves, according to customizable company shift trade policies.
Accurate Data for Informed Decisions
Employee time and labor data becomes more valuable as it accumulates and can be evaluated alongside a wide range of production variables. WorkforceHub automatically captures employee timekeeping documentation, enabling informed decisions about human resource allocation. The result is increased productivity and profits.
Centralized Data, Improved Efficiency
All of your company’s employee timekeeping data is collected into a single online account, making it easy to access, edit, approve, and export everything you need. Your payroll team will never have to manually collect information from individual managers.
Swipeclock offers WorkforceHub, a unified Human Resources portal that makes it easy to optimize the performance of your managers, employees, and company. WorkforceHub includes TimeWorksPlus, TimeSimplicity, and TimeWorks Mobile. Additional features include onboarding, benefits enrollment, performance reviews, and employee engagement. WorkforceHub is designed for busy employers who need to streamline scheduling, automate time and attendance tracking, maintain regulatory compliance, and reduce labor costs.
