Options for Employee Time Clocks

When it comes to monitoring your employees’ hours, you can’t leave anything to chance. How many hours your employees work equates to how much you owe them in pay. Making a mistake in that area could land you in serious legal trouble. Of course, it’s just as important to monitor when they’re coming in and leaving, as you might find people are cutting corners. Below are a few of the options you have for time-tracking.

The most basic type out there is the automatic employee time clock or the kind that involves a manual mechanism. Both provide a clock out front and both involve the employee using a timecard.

Nowadays, many companies prefer a more advanced option. Technology has made it easy to have employee time clocks that can scan the person’s fingerprint. This alleviates the need for timecards and ensures the person checking in is who they say they are and no one else.

Along the same lines, you can purchase employee time clock software capable of scanning a badge or ID card. This makes for a quick punching in or out process and involves a certain degree of assurance the person doing so is the owner of the badge/card.

With so many options to choose from, it’s important you find the right fit for your business. This will include a combination of utility, cost and the choice you’re most comfortable with.
