Inexpensive and simple, but beware of software limitations
Pros
- Time goes from the swipe of a card to an accessible database that employees have access to immediately.
- Managers can review and adjust clocked times.
- Automatically generates reports, there are about 30-40 different available, but we only use one for payroll.
Cons
- Doesn't calculate overtime for Canadian properly as our rules are slightly different and consider both daily and weekly total for overtime.
- Can't set own payroll cut off days, as a company we had to abide by their given rules.
- Problem calculating times for weeks splitting two cut-off periods. The problem is that the software is not considering the fact that the worker has worked the whole week and that the rest of the week is overtime.
Return on Investment
- Streamlining of the payroll process throughout the company.
- Having to manually calculate certain employee's times because the software can't handle certain situations.
- The ability to check someone's time whenever we want.
