Timekeeping really should be simple and affordable. For many smaller businesses, however, this isn't always the case. It may start that way, but as employees are added and the business grows, the manual methods of recording, tracking, and reporting can become overwhelming. The answer for many of these businesses often involves investing in time clock software.
One of the ongoing challenges of any business is keeping track of the time employees work. Proper record-keeping requires much more than simply writing down how many hours your employees work each day. In addition to tracking hours worked each day, a business must also record sick time and overtime, nighttime differentials, commissions, and so on.
