Joe tells his manager he has classes every Tuesday until 10am. His manager — rightfully so — supports Joe's cause. But Joe gets scheduled anyway. Now what? Should he skip work and risk the fallout? Let his education fall by the side? You can make sure this does not fall on your employees.
An employee misses a shift because they had the wrong schedule. Sound familiar? It happens all the time. You can have one schedule. A published schedule. Everyone knows when to work, and everyone knows when changes affect them.
Being understaffed puts strain on everyone. Your employees have to work harder to fill the gap. The work experience is not fun. Make sure you have the right people — in the right place — at the right times. You'll boost employee morale and your customers will notice.
Can your timesheet tell you what's happening right now? What if it told you who is coming in next? Leaving soon? Ready to take break? Working overtime? Late? You can manage your day-to-day operations better.
How frustrating is a line-up at the time clock? Has it gone offline again? Who knows… But you end up dropping what you're doing to deal with it. End time-clock frustrations. End the complaints. You won't have to deal with time clock problems.
What if employees were happy to use the clock? If it was easy to use? If it just worked. You won't waste time tracking missed punches or verifying change requests. Stop time lost manually managing attendance records.
Track time online by visually clicking each employee in and out, or have employees track themselves through the employee interface locked down by IP Address.
Ever calculate hours for each of your employees? By hand? That is not fair. You never have to calculate hours again. Easily configure your business rules and let the system automate the rest.
Payroll can't be late. Ever. What if you could get all of the numbers, automatically calculated, with one click? Complete your payroll duties in minutes. Run the report and send total hours.
“I don't understand my hours.” Uh-oh. Time to double-check everything, right? Frustrating. Get it right to begin with. Your employees will start trusting payroll. You do less double-checking.
Joe asks for time off. You know he deserves it. But can you cover the shifts? Who else is off? Who else has already submitted a request for the same dates?
Track Time Off requests to know exactly who has asked for what dates and when, and what response has been sent — Approved or Denied.
How do your employees check schedules? Do they call you? Check the wall? How does this sound: They open your app. Self-service from desktop and mobile.
Will employees miss shifts they don't know about? Of course. What if you send an email with the schedule? Make it automatic. You will reduce absenteeism and lates.
You are organized. You keep the best employee records you can. Do you include employee scheduling and time sheets? Now you can track changes completely.
When everyone sticks to the schedule you can fine tune it. Adjust to the perfect number of employees — for each skill & department — at the right times. Improve your utilization. Stop overspending on too many employees. And stop risking burnout from too few employees.
It's time for Joe's monthly review. You know he was late today. And at least once last week too… But you can't find the sticky note to prove it. Automate your event tracking. During the review you get Joe's events and talk about documented facts.
Your employees do try hard to be on time. And to stick to your schedules. You can reward to those who do it best. The employee-of-the-month parking spot, cash bonuses, even movie tickets. You can make it worth their time to try harder.
Joe shows up late again… His co-workers are affected. And your customers. Punishing Joe won't work — It hasn't so far. But what if you could praise employees for being punctual? By measuring adherence you can use positive reinforcement.
