Dean Mathews is the founder and CEO of OnTheClock. He supplied some thoughts on the bonuses of time tracking.
“For starters, tracking staff time is required by law,” he writes. “The Department of Labor(DOL) states that all hourly employee time must be tracked.”
He also says collecting time tracking data provides business insights. It reduces payroll disputes by eliminating errors and generally saves time. Mathews says time tracking benefits workers too.
“Employees benefit from seeing their hours worked, time off requests/balances, and their planned work schedules.”
He adds a final point on how to present the idea you want to track their time to staff. “Time tracking should be mutually beneficial to the employer and the employee. If not, it will only be seen as a “big brother” tactic by employees.”
