The Problem with Traditional Time Management Systems
Many time management systems are clunky and unintuitive, often leaving managers frustrated, especially near the end of payroll periods.
Common issues include:
- Manual Data Entry: Managers frequently have to edit time after the fact, adding hours or changing schedules.
- Inaccurate Time Tracking: Employees either have too much access, allowing them to manipulate their hours, or too little, complicating error corrections.
- Cumbersome Reporting: Generating day-to-day reports can be a tedious process, often involving multiple systems.
- Legacy Systems Integration: Exporting and importing data between legacy systems and new ones can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
Introducing GeoClock
GeoClock is designed to address these pain points effectively.
Here’s how:
- Custom Notifications: Both managers and employees receive notifications about important events such as missed clock-outs or approved time changes. This proactive approach helps catch and correct errors early.
- Automatic Time Type Calculations: Geo Clock simplifies the approval process by automatically calculating different time types based on pre-configured rules, reducing the manual workload.
- Configurable Rounding and Tolerances: Shift times can be rounded and adjusted based on predefined rules, ensuring consistency and reducing the need for manual corrections.
