A Time and Attendance Solution Can Help You Find Time on the Job
Jordan and Audrey Zybala had enough work to do just keeping their Lago 210 restaurant running smoothly, but coordinating the schedule and vacation requests — using a spreadsheet to track entries — proved to be too time-consuming and inefficient. After talking with Paychex, they found a solution that gives employees a portal to monitor balances and frees the Zybalas to focus on growing the business.

What Is a Time and Attendance System for Small Businesses?
What Is a Time and Attendance System for Small Businesses?
Time and attendance systems are a method for employers to track and monitor their employees’ work hours.

Why Is Time and Attendance Important?
Why Is Time and Attendance Important?
Time tracking is critical for compliance reasons, and can also help inform larger business decisions. Non-exempt employees’ wages are based on the amount of time they work, so failure to adhere to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and any applicable state wage and hour laws can result in agency penalties, employee-initiated litigation, and possibly even enforcement of back pay. At a high level, assessing hiring needs, workforce reductions, or job assignments may require knowing exact hours worked by employees. A reliable and accurate time and attendance tracking system can play a key role in these decisions.

An integrated payroll and time tracking system can help ensure that information is consistent across the board for all systems. Information is updated automatically, which helps to reduce the workload on HR staff from having to input changes multiple times in different work systems.
