Organizations lose thousands of dollars a year due to employee time card padding. Does this scenario look familiar to you: “I have an employee who is padding their time card 1 to 2 hours a day. She claims she arrives on time.

Improving Employee Performace by promoting within!
One of the most influential ways to improve employee performance regardless of the business is when an employee has an opportunity to make more money and be promoted to a better position within the organization. For most people the opportunity to build a better life for their family and to be regarded by your peers as someone who is a standout at what they do is something most people take great pride in. The tricky part is when employees work remotely, how do you single out that individual amongst a large roster of other workers?
One simple yet effective method is through time and attendance reports. When looking at a rosters time and attendance report it is pretty effective to narrow down the employees who are the most dependable, and responsible with their clock punches. These employees prove that they understand how important managing you punch clocks is for administration, managers and company payroll. They realize that a manager’s job is full of complex issues on a daily basis and the last issue they need to worry about is why an employee is clocking in or out early? When analyzing punch time reports it makes sense to believe that these are employees that have a managerial mind set and are thinking about the team rather than themselves as individuals.
With Call the Time’s - time and attendance software application, you will quickly be able to view who could be the next manager when a spot of responsibility opens up. With Call the Time if an organization is interested in giving that employee an opportunity to manage his or her own team you can add them as a manager within the application and assign a team under them at their job site. The owner of the organization will still have complete access to their entire team via Call the Time and will be notified of any changes made by their designated management team. However, this feature within the application will provide employees with an opportunity of responsibility and promotion because they will be able to change, edit and schedule their own team’s punch times.
It’s difficult finding how to promote the right individual when most of employees work remotely but Call the Time simplifies that process by providing business owners with a paper free way to see who on your team, are the stand out’s and ready for that next big move in their careers.
