Time and Attendance

Accepted Answer

Our time and attendance system will auto-calculate employees' hours worked daily to ensure accuracy. It will help you manage and track overtime and archive the time card history. You will reduce payroll preparation time and eliminate human error. The Fair Labor Standards Act does require that: Time tracking records (no matter how you collect the data) for non-exempt employees must include certain identifying information about the employee, his or her hours worked, and his or her wages earned. The law requires this information to be accurate. Our Work Force Management Solution's functionality and features will provide you with that compliance. Employers can choose from online WebPunch, mobile applications with GPS or a Biometric finger reader. You can track and manage PTO as well as job costs, tasks, department, and locations. Your time-keeping data imports into Streamline Payroll's software - there is no need for manual entry.
