Web Time Clocks – Providing Unlimited Options for Small and Medium Sized Businesses

The significance of paying your employees correctly has never been more important than it is today. Most employers would agree that it is not in their best interest to pay more than is owed to their employees. However, when considering the current wave of wage and work hour violation claims and lawsuits, you also want to make sure that your employees are not being shortchanged (even accidentally). Web time clocks can play a crucial role in ensuing that your employees are paid the exact amount of wages for their time, nothing more and nothing less!

Web-based time keeping solutions especially come in handy for small and medium-sized businesses with a mobile workforce. In-house time and attendance solutions are only good for - yes, you guessed it – the on-premise monitoring and recording of employee work hours. If your employees work remote from off-site offices or customer locations, in-house systems are an inefficient, ineffective and inconvenient solution because employees must always stop in the office to punch in and out. Workforce management solutions, such as time tracking software from uAttend, are cloud based and provide a much more convenient and user-friendly solution for a mobile workforce. For example, rather than punch in first at the office only to drive 30 miles the other way to work at a customer location, employees can head directly to their work location and punch in once they’ve arrived.

The Ease of Cloud-Based Connectivity

On-premise time tracking solutions are no match for cloud based systems when it comes to connectivity and universal access. With cloud computing, employees have a number of punch-in options for recording their time and attendance. These include using the actual clock device, as well as punching in with a telephone, web-browser or Smartphone/mobile application. As of right now, uAttend offers Apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android users.

With uAttend’s mobile App, employees can easily punch-in and out from pre-designated Geo-hot spots with the help of GPS tracking. This not only ensures that your employees are getting paid for their exact time working, but is also invaluable when it comes to billing your customers more accurately. Not to mention it makes employees’ lives simpler and more convenient, which improves employee morale and performance. In addition, web time clocks create time and attendance records that can help in maintaining FLSA compliance and serve as indisputable documentation in the case of any wage claims or violations.

While effective in their own way, on-premise time and attendance systems can be expensive to purchase, can take a long time to implement, and often involve annual licensing fees. In comparison, time tracking software like that offered from uAttend is easy to implement, simple to operate, and extremely cost-effective. Plus, it provides universal access allowing employers and employees to access the system from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection!
