1. Realizing the elusive goal of Automatic Time Clocking
with Strict Privacy Controls
Every day, millions of contract and temp workers turn
in their time cards to finance departments. Some
employers deploy a more elaborate on-site time-card
processing machines. Needless to say, this approach
does not scale very easily. Another new class of
time-clocking solutions are emerging where
employees clock in and clock out manually on a time
card app on their mobile phone or on their
computers. This process still involves significant
manual interaction on the part of the employee and
is therefore prone to errors and inaccuracy. For e.g.
Employees may forget to clock in or clock out when
they go to lunch or in the evening when they get off,
there by leading to unintended errors that easily can
end up costing organizations millions of dollars.
Today, with the combination of smartphones, text
messaging & cloud-hosted Software-as-a-Service
platforms, it is possible to put together a mobile time
clock solution to address this problem. Tracking
employees via their cell phone (with proper consent)
during work hours is one proven solution where the
location of every employee at any given time is
known. A time card app could be running in the
background on the employees phones. When an
employee enters certain job sites (geo-zones), they
are automatically clocked in and when they exit the
site, they are clocked out.
The employee is essentially hands off and their hours
are accurately recorded and processed. This
"zero-touch" approach to time clocking enables
organizations to be more efficient and manage their
time clocked expenses automatically. It also relieves
their employees of constantly clocking in and
clocking out and instead spend their time doing their
jobs in the field. It is clearly a win-win situation for
employers and employees.
The issue of employee privacy needs to be addressed
in the context of employees being tracked through
their cell phones. Permission based tracking where
employees agree to be tracked only during work
hours should be put in place for a zero-touch solution
to work seamlessly. The employees can themselves
trigger the automatic time clocking every morning
and then turn it off at the end of the day. All reports
are then effortlessly generated for the back office to
process and payroll to function.
Organizations need to evaluate these types of
zero-touch mobile time clock solutions to enable
them to streamline their payroll expenses especially
for their employees (especially the contract
workforce) which is often out in the field.
