Time Clock by Homebase can help you ditch the paper spreadsheets and take away the frustration of manual errors and potential time theft among other benefits. The app, available on every Clover device and accessible through the web dashboard, can be found directly on the home screen.
Some popular features on Time Clock by Homebase include:
Here are five ways Time Clock can elevate your time management process and make work easier for everyone.
Prepping for payroll can be a headache and take a long time to ensure employees are paid correctly. With Time Clock, you can automatically calculate hours, paid/unpaid breaks, overtime and even track salaried employees.
Do you have employees that get different wage rates depending on their role? All the calculations are done for you and you’ll be notified of any timecard errors before a mistake is made running payroll. With direct integrations to top payroll companies and easy to use CSV exports, you can complete payroll with a click of a button.
“Time theft” refers to employees taking unauthorized company time, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Using time and attendance systems like punch clocks and manual timesheets make it even easier to steal time because employees can “buddy punch,” meaning a coworker clocks in for them if they’re late for their shift.
The Time Clock app prevents this practice by taking a photo of your employee and alerting you if someone else is clocking in for them. It also prevents employees from clocking in early and you have the option to set up auto-clock out, so their time worked stays true to their schedule.
Time Clock integrates with your schedule so you can monitor labour costs, keep track of budgets and view real-time sales in one place. While building your schedule, you’ll be able to identify if a schedule you build is too costly or if a particular employee will reach overtime. (This is especially useful for employees who work at multiple locations).
Time Clock helps eliminate the risk of labour cost leakage and gives you a full view of your labor costs by hour, department, role, and more.
As the business owner, you might not always be around to ensure your team is making the right moves. Time Clock can help with that. If an employee is late clocking in for a shift, Time Clock will send an alert letting you know. The app will also send employees alerts reminding them about upcoming shifts, which helps with reducing no-shows and late arrivals.
If you get an alert that an employee forgot to clock in, you’ll be able to edit their hours worked—right from the app. When an employee is about to reach overtime, you’ll receive an alert for that as well, helping you make smarter scheduling decisions in real-time.
Did you know that federal law requires you to store time card records for a minimum of 3 years? This is just one of many compliance laws business owners need to abide by when you have a team of employees. Each province has their own compliance rules for small businesses. As a business owner, it can be difficult to keep track of these rules and ensure your employees are taking the correct breaks or that employees are getting paid appropriately for overtime. With Time Clock, it’s easy to set up custom break and overtime settings that fit your business needs as well as keep you compliant.
