Operational costs and complex management procedures are a big issue for UK small businesses. This especially applies to companies that use manual time and attendance and, as a result, have to allocate considerable resources and valuable time to monitor, supervise and manage their payroll. Biometric time attendance is the ideal solution for such businesses to reduce their payroll expenses and costs associated with manual supervision and processing of time and attendance data.

Pitfalls of Manual Time Tracking

Just like any other manual process, employee time tracking has certain problems. The whole process, from start to finish, is labour-intensive and extremely time consuming. Starting with employee clock-ins, there is not only an element of inefficiency involved, but also of inaccuracy. This affects an organisation in two ways; firstly, they have to allocate some resource for the supervision of clocking in and out of employees. Secondly, inaccuracy through human error or intent results in loss of revenue for the organisations concerned, which would not be the case with time clocks UK in place.

Cost of Manual Time Tracking

When your business is using paper time sheets or a mechanical time clock to record employee time and attendance, it has to bear considerable expense not only for the paper trail it creates but also for the accessories. Mechanical clocking in clocks need paper time cards, ribbons and other accessories on a regular basis. Time and attendance reports, whether generated from time cards or paper time sheets, need to be filed and that also results in a regular expense.

In comparison, biometric time attendance is carried out using automated systems and hardly requires any supervision and no expensive accessories. The software generates digital time and attendance reports that are can be emailed or exported into many formats. There is also an option available for exporting your reports directly into your existing payroll or accounting software which again eliminates one stage of processing, saving you valuable time.

The biggest advantage of time clocks UK is that it would do away with any time theft or buddy clocking and you would only be paying for worked hours. Add to this the revenues you save by going paperless and you will definitely go for this solution.
