Many people who are considering everything that is involved
in implementing a Time and attendance software just might be thinking to
themselves, "Do I really want to do this"? After all, the employees
and payroll department have managed to go without up until now.
Many small enterprises manage to operate relatively well
with paper systems and spreadsheets so what is the need to automate it? A paper
system works well until it comes to having to produce any kinds of reports such
as how many employees worked overtime last month in each branch or how many
showed up late on Monday morning.
Consider that it is common knowledge that time and
attendance software is essential for a company with 20 or more part-time
employees or companies in manufacturing. In addition, smaller companies can
also benefit greatly from some of the tremendous time and attendance programs
that are available today. Time and Attendance software saves time and money,
reduces and/or eliminates human error while providing a convenient and powerful
solution for managing employee time issues..
From my perspective,
companies should strongly consider having time and attendance software if:
60 to 70 percent of manager time is spent answering
timesheet questions.
Employee productivity is an issue.
Your company is cost conscious.
You have time attendance software but it is old
Your company likes to keep up with new technology.
You want to reduce the amount of time it takes each week to
put the employee time into payroll.
Whether you are want to manage some or all of the issues
above, or other issues, a time & attendance system is the answer.
So Where Do You
Start?
If you've ever done any research into the time and
attendance systems available on the market, you will know that there is an
endless list of products to choose from. The prospect of choosing the right
time and attendance system can stop even the best people in their tracks. Thus
the normal method for making a selection is to form a group or committee that
are tasked with finding a new system. The Time Attendance Software committee
attends meeting after meeting, creates some form of criteria document be it a
Needs Analysis or Requirements Document, obtaining input from everyone in the
group. This is a time consuming but necessary step no matter what size of
company or organization you belong to.
The next step is product selection. This should be a logical
process and it does not need to be tedious and overwhelming. There are some
standard steps in selecting time and attendance software that you can follow.
Following these steps
should make selection much more manageable:
Obtain buy-in from your management.
Research on the internet for Time and Attendance systems
Continue to evolve your time & attendance system needs
analysis.
Create a Time Attendance Software spending budget
Decide what you would like to see in a product demo
Schedule demos with vendors.

Select your system.
Negotiate a good agreement, both feature and price-wise,
with the vendor.
Obtain final approval from your management.
