Minimize Employee Absenteeism with a Time Attendance Software Solution

According to CCH Incorporated, absenteeism can cost up to an average of $602 per employee, per year.
This cost does not include indirect costs such as overtime pay for other employees, hiring temps, missed deadlines, lost sales, sinking morale and lower productivity. Indirect costs can add up to 25 percent to the direct costs, according to Employee Benefit News and HR News.

In a survey of eleven U.S.-based telecommunications organizations, 72 cents of every dollar of costs related to employee absence stems from lost productivity, rather than hard costs, such as health care and disability benefits (Business Insurance, July 2000).

These are staggering numbers! So often we are concerned about what an employee is doing through-out their day regarding their daily tasks that we often fail to think of the employees that are not even showing up to work, leaving early or failing to give an employer’s enough notice to sufficiently fill the job that they will be absent from. Often an employee may not even call to say they are going to be ill until their shift has already started leaving their employer scrambling to find someone else to take that shift.
That is why within our Call the Time time and attendance application we have provided the employer the added luxury of receiving an email anywhere from one minute up to one hour from when the employee was scheduled to clock in. The idea behind this is to not only provide the employer with the details of a specific employee who is not only typically late but it also prevents the employer from losing an important client. The email alert within Call the Time’s application is a fantastic tool, especially if it is linked to a phone with a data plan because the manger can immediately reach out to the absent employee to find out why they have not shown up for their shift and they can also immediately send over a replacement worker to the job site.

Call the Time provides this tool within our time attendance software application because too often employers are financially taken advantage of by employees who take sick days often. Within Call the Time’s application you will be able to keep track of when an employee is scheduled, if they don’t show up for a shift or if they are just plain late. Call the Time’s reporting software and scheduling and email alert tool make it next to impossible for an employee to cheat the system. Employee activities will always be available on your dashboard and 100 percent accessible at any point throughout the day to an employer or manager.

Reviewing studies of financial loss by so many organizations who do not keep track of their employees; it’s hard to argue that a time attendance software and reporting tool like Call the Time is not only a necessity for an organization but a fantastic investment that will eventually and quickly pay for itself with the money you will be saving.

Call the Time - Reporting Made Easy

Call the Time was created to simplify your managers and administrators lives; shouldn’t the people that are in charge of running your organization deserve a tool to make their lives easier if it exists? An online time, attendance and reporting tool is small investment that not only makes your managers not have to dread payroll reporting but in fact simplifies the job to the point that it basically does the work for them. For managers in any business time is something of the essence, there never seems to be enough hours in the day to complete all the tasks needed in a work week and never is that more relevant when it comes to payroll reporting.

Unfortunately, reporting can be one of the most frustrating and time consuming tasks that many mangers dread when it comes to their role. I was speaking to a customer today and they mentioned to me that many of their mangers can only find time to address their payroll reports on weekends, taking time away from their families and it was in fact making them very unhappy. Their process was extremely complex; going through pages and pages of time punches, deciphering punch errors, punch requests and then going through one employee after another until they have all the teams paper work calculated and accounted for. Once that part was complete they would then have to call in to their head office and the next day the office administrators would have to take their managers verbal reports and add them to their accounting software after listening to their voice mail. This all sounds like a gruelling and painful process for the individuals put in charge of running your organization. Hence, how he sought out and became a customer of Call the Time.

Call the Time provides a solution to reporting problems. We believed that a manager’s time should be respected and they should be rewarded with a tool that simplifies their job.

Within Call the Time’s application is an indexed and individualized reporting tool. Managers have the ability to view, export and print time cards by:

We built an extremely robust reporting tool because we believe in making life for managers and administrators as simple as possible. The fact of the matter is, if we rely on mangers to run our organizations a simple time, attendance and reporting tool like Call the Time provide them with a much more efficient work environment and as the saying goes “a happy employee is an efficient employee!”
