I Owe it My Job

A few months ago I had a major dispute with my employer who claimed that I was not reporting my time accurately. I was told to either pay back the money they said I was over-paid for or be fired. I knew I had not been over-paid and I had just the tool to prove it. The company I work uses the telephone time clock system and I used this system every single day I worked. I can not only prove that my time worked was correct but I can also prove that they actually shorted me on several pay checks.

I was able to get a copy of all the time sheets that come directly from the time attendance tracking system and it showed exactly when I phoned in and phoned out. The great thing is I use my cell phone to phone in so this showed my location as recorded by the cell phone tower. I work as an insurance agent and all of my appointments are held in my client’s homes. I phone in when I’m on my way to their house and phone out when I am done. I had all the evidence I needed to keep my job and recover the lost wages they took from me.

The standard employee time clock isn’t practical in my line of work and the telephone time clock is one of the greatest office tools to have come along in a long time. If it weren’t for this awesome device I’d probably be out of job. I’m very thankful for all the data that is stored on this system because it allowed me to show exactly how many minutes I was on the clock and exactly when I clocked out. I don’t know how companies such as the one I work for, keep up with their employee’s time without the phone time clock system.

Time Clock Saves Money

Since many small businesses have been hit hard by the struggling economy many small business owners are looking for ways to save money. This can be anything from cutting costs on office supplies or cutting back on shipping costs. Some business owners have even had to reduce the number of employees that they have on staff. But, many never think about reducing spending when it comes down to purchasing aTelephone Time Clock.

Using an efficient Employee Time Clock can help many reduce labor costs. This type of system works by having the employees clock in and out by using the telephone. This is a useful small-business tool for a company that has employees that have to travel for work or for those that have workers that have the option of working from home. All the employee has to do is call a special number that clocks the worker in at the beginning of the business day and then they call the number again when they need to clock out at the end of their shift. This is not only convenient for the employee, it also is great way for the worker to keep track of the hours they have worked during in a pay period. Employers also like this because it helps to reduce overpaying many of the employees and to keep Time Attendance Tracking accurate.

Business owners that have used this type of Phone Time Clock see a reduction in overpaying their employees. This can be anywhere from a few hundred dollars a month to thousands that can be saved from using an accurate time tracking system in a small business. This keeps employees from padding a time sheet that can cost business owners money every month.

Not only is it an accurate way to track the time an employee has worked, it can also help reduce the cost spent on paper time cards or sheets. This can help to reduce the office supply budget since paper products are no longer needed. Since there is no paper being used, it also is good for the environment. With many small or medium businesses trying to go green, using a Phone Time Clock helps reduce paper that is used in an office.

The benefits of using this type of business tool can save many businesses money. No matter if the business is big or small, using a Telephone Time Clock can be a great way to start.
