With smaller organizations, they have a limited amount of resources and limited budget, so when they are shopping around for a time and attendance solution, typically, the first thing they look for is an out of the box solution.

If organizations are only looking for a system that tracks when employees punch in and out of work, then an out of the box solution would be great for their particular environment.  If they are not concerned with calculating complicated pay rules, reporting, or customization, then this would be the perfect solution to their organizational needs.

BUT If you are looking for something that that will save your company the most amount of operational costs, while improving the way you manage your workforce, maybe it’s time to start thinking about an automated your time and attendance system.

For most people, when shopping for any type of product or service, we look for the best price possible. Therefore, with many companies, it is understandable that they would be attracted to the small sticker price on an out of a box solution. But don’t be fooled into thinking that all time and attendance systems are the same. Whether you are only interested in tracking punches or calculating complicated pay rules, reporting, or customization, time and attendance solutions should be customized to meet your organizations specific needs.

When the time has come for your organization to start looking for a time and attendance solution, it would be highly beneficial to request a demo, or better yet… have someone come to your location to show you exactly how it will work at your organization. It is best to going in knowing what problems within the organization you are looking to solve, and get educated on the different time and attendance solutions available to you. By doing so, it will save in the long run, believe me!

TimeTECH is hopping on another plane to attend the CPA (Canadian Payroll Association) Annual Conference and Exposition in Victoria British Columbia. We will be showcasing our time and attendance and workforce management software solutions to organizations of all sizes and industries.

The CPA Conference and Tradeshow is an annual event for:

• New and experience Payroll, HR, and IT professionals

Well, the countdown is on! Only a few more days until the 2009 APA Annual Congress in Long Beach California!

TimeTECH will be exhibiting at the tradeshow portion of Congress at booth number 435. Last year Congress was held in Austin Texas where we made our first APA appearance as an exhibitor. The show was so successful, we decided to participate again. Last year we met thousands of HR and Payroll professionals interested in workforce management software, time and attendance, absence planning, benefit accruals, vacation planning and more!

We were shocked at how many large organizations across North America are still processing their time and attendance and other workforce management practices manually! They were all impressed by the amount of time and money their organization could saving by integrating TimeTECH’s workforce management solutions. Most companies see anywhere from 1-3% of their annual payroll back in savings.

Where do the savings come from?

• Eliminating buddy punching
• Time fraud
• Manual processing time
• Processing errors
• Rounding of hours
• Time spent processing pay rules
• Eliminating spreadsheets!
• And more!

If your company is attending the APA Congress in Long Beach, feel free to stop by our booth during the tradeshow hours to say hello! You can find us at booth 435.
