Tired of Time Theft? Can a Time & Labor System Stop It?

Three words. Yes it can. From Geo-fencing to biometric verification, managing employee time and attendance is more than just clocking in and out; it’s about ensuring productivity, compliance, and fairness across your organization. The important thing to remember is that its not just a trust issue, it will also help with compliance and improve the accuracy of your payroll. Here’s what Jay Thompson with Thompson Heating and Air in Dallas, TX had to say about what he has seen since adding TLM to his payroll process:

“We have a team of techs that are spread out all over the DFW Metroplex. We used to rely on paper timesheets, which were not only a nightmare to go through every two weeks, but often led to discrepancies on both sides. Now they simply log in on their phones with the app, when they’re at their job, and those punches are automatically updated to their timesheet. When it’s time to submit payroll, we get a prompt from our friendly CSS at APlus and it’s done. Our savings in time, money and stress has made it more than worth it”.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                – Jay Thompson, Thompson Heating and Air                                                                          

The Importance of Accurate Time Tracking

Why It Matters:

• Maximize Productivity: Knowing exactly when employees start and end their shifts helps allocate resources efficiently and optimize workflows.
• Compliance: Accurate records are crucial for adhering to labor laws and avoiding costly penalties.
• Employee Satisfaction: Transparent tracking fosters trust and ensures employees are paid fairly for their work.

The Hidden Threat of Time Theft:

• Costly Consequences: Time theft, such as buddy punching or extended breaks, can cost businesses up to 7% of their payroll annually.
• Reduced Morale: When some employees exploit the system, it can lead to resentment among diligent workers and lower overall morale.
• Operational Disruptions: Unaccounted absences or late arrivals can disrupt operations, leading to missed deadlines and customer dissatisfaction.
