The fundamental benefits of using an automated timekeeping system include eliminating costly human error, significantly decreasing the amount of time it takes to collect payroll data, remaining compliant with the department of labor by collecting and keeping accurate time records, and saving money! On a broader level, what industry couldn’t benefit from that?
To further our discussion, here are some industries that are a strong fit for the Apex Payroll timekeeping products and/or some unique or new product features you can highlight the next time you are visiting with one of your clients in these fields!
Day Care
Ask your kids to clock in and out so you have accurate records of which children attended that day and for how long. Also, for additional security, use a biometric clock and Clock Prompts to track the name of the adult who drops-off the child in the morning and picks up in the evening.
Health Service
Use shift differentials to pay a rate premium based on the hours worked. You can also use the “Yesterday” or “Tomorrow Rule” to appropriately reflect shifts that cross midnight.
Business Services
Use WebClock for a low-cost, web-based way to track employee in/out time, eliminating the need to purchase a time clock. Employees can also check and approve their time card, request time off, or review a schedule with the new Employee Self Service portal in Glue.
Retail
Retail operations typically have young, part-time staff that frequently come and go. Preserve profit margins by eliminating punch approximations (e.g., round all punches to the nearest 15 minute increment in the employee’s favor) and “buddy punching” with biometrics. Use scheduling features to set schedules for each of your retail staff members, then print the weekly schedule to post in the break room.
Manufacturing
Apex makes job costing inexpensive and convenient. Allocate hours to jobs and track employee hours with one or more (inexpensive) time clocks. If the manufacturing environment involves significant dirt or dust, capture employee punches using the size and shape of an employee’s hand (hand geometry) with the HandPunch GT-400.
Construction
Did you know our time clocks can be integrated with GPS Time Center, a third-party GPS product that ensures your employees are working at the correct job site? You can also use our telephony VoiceClock solution, the cellular-based FlexClock Vx610G that sends punch data wirelessly and operates from a portable battery, or allow employees to clock in from a mobile device. Construction sites have even been known to use a vehicle power adapter or an “outdoor case” to have a time clock on site.
Hotel
Use clock prompts to track staff members by function, department, location, or task. Employers can even track piece rates or the number of hotel rooms cleaned by each staff member.
Assisted Living and Home Health Care
Allow a mobile staff, such as nurses, to call in from their patient’s home phone or cell phone to clock in and out using the VoiceClock telephony solution.
Restaurant
Track restaurant staff to the minute to ensure all departments are fully staffed and on time. Use Clock Prompts to track “tips” collected by servers during their shift, the number of miles caterers drive, or perhaps even the number of tables bus boys clean.
