The benefits
There are many benefits to using time and attendance. More specific advantages within the construction sector include:
- Easy management of payroll and removal of issues that occur when you have a mix of salaried and hourly paid employees working on-site
- Ensuring that contractors and employees are who they say they are when they clock in or out
- Dashboards showing real-time clocking in data means that supervisors and managers can see exactly who’s on-site at a given time. Any shortfall in resources or skill-sets can be addressed quickly to keep projects on schedule
- Use of a self-service app that allows employees and contractors to see available shifts and select personal unavailability to work time. This cuts down on huge amounts of communication time between management, planners and employees and the application can be configured to the actual structure of the company (across multiple sites)
- Improvements with forecasting and scheduling can be made by aligning supply and demand, creating accurate schedules and eliminating overscheduling
- Productivity can be increased by automating complex shift planning and allowing managers to spend more time on other tasks. Keeping track of all absences quickly and easily, can save time and improve accuracy to enhance productivity
- Such customisable solutions accommodate a range of working patterns and rules, helping to minimise overpayments and reduce admin errors, as a result, improving payroll accuracy
- Analytical tracking of employee/contractor attendance, ultimately leading to actionable insights can help improve ongoing strategy and goals. With access to a multitude of reports and real-time dashboards, you can ensure you are making the most informed decisions and enable immediate responses to changing site needs. When you work with subcontractors, you can see when their staff have been on-site, for how long, etc. and share this information with their management teams when reviewing schedules and performance
- An advanced time & attendance software in a construction environment can enhance the way you manage scheduling, create greater clock in/out accuracy, and make your construction site more secure
