Efficiency-Productivity… Productivity-Efficiency. Without a doubt, these two words seem to be the workplace clichés of choice all over the world nowadays. If it’s not efficient or productive toss it—or him/her—out the door.

There’s a reason for that. As Paul J Meyer says,

Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.

So you want to grow your business?

With the workplace becoming increasingly fast-paced and competitive, you’ll get brutally trampled underfoot in your pursuit of growth unless you grab hold of your tasks and manage efficiently and productively.

That’s why TimeTECH has endeavoured to make managing your business both efficient and productive. When these two standards are implemented, growth is inevitable.

Here’s how time and attendance systems will help you grow your business:Tracking improved business results from automating time and attendance

I found a great post on LinkedIn by a gentleman by the name of Daniel Higbee from (www.elimintatepapertimecards.org) an organization educating the public on the importance of eliminating paper time cards. I thought these stats were very interesting. Enjoy!

  • It takes 4 tons of wood (approximately 24 trees) to make 1 ton of paper
  • One ton of paper will make approximately 200,000 paper time cards or 8,330 per tree.
  • According to the United States Department of Labor, there were a total of 135,185,230 employed in the United States in May of 2008.
  • Therefore, taking these numbers into account, if only 10% of the employees in the United States use 1 paper time card per week. The number of trees used for paper time card production per year would be in excess of:
  • 84,000 Trees each year in the U.S. Alone
  • It is estimated that there are 6,700,000,000 people on earth.
  • If we estimate that only 15% of the total population of the world is gainfully employed and only 10% of those are still using 1 paper time card per week (100,500,000). The number of trees used for paper time card production worldwide per year would be in excess of:
  • 627,000 Trees per year Worldwide

Yesterday’s “Busking For Change” was a great success. Many Canadian music artists were busking around Toronto in the efforts to raise money for humanitarian assistance to children in war affected areas of the world.

Below is a picture of Michael Williams – TimeTECH‘s Corporate Marketing Coordinator donating a cheque from TimeTECH. The funds that were donated were raised through our casual Fridays. Each and every bit counts. We hope that other companies will follow to help make a difference.

Last week was a great week for TimeTECH. One of our new clients Sandra Cameron of Bevendale Enterprises wanted to thank us for completing the implementation of their new Time and Attendance system at their grocery stores.
We always speak about how much time and money our clients will save by implementing one of our state of the art time and attendance solutions, but this comment from Sandra is just proof in the pudding!

“Yesterday we ran our second totally successful payroll. As we had a stat holiday in this payroll; it was the true test of how it was working. Everything was calculated and executed correctly so I think we have achieved our goal. It also only took a couple of hours from start to finish too complete the payroll which would have taken 8- 10 hours using the old method. Thanks for all the help over the last couple of months.” – Sandra Cameron

Bevendale Enterprises was looking for a system that would help them with the following:

  • Reduce payroll processing time
  • Centralize 2 locations
  • Implement a card reader terminal at each location
  • Reduce unauthorized absences
  • Report on absenteeism
  • Reduce edit time
  • Streamline processes
  • Integrate with their payroll processor (JS Software)

During the discovery phase of this project, Bevendales stated that it was taking way too long to process payroll, and schedule their employees. Both issues were addressed and solved with TimeTECH’s customized solutions.

We can’t wait to hear more great things from Bevendales in the near future and look forward to working with them on a long term basis.

On Thursday September 3rd at 1-2:30-pm EST, the APA (American Payroll Association) will be hosting an audio seminar discussing many issues around calculating the regular rate of pay.

The APA will be examining which payments are included and excluded in the regular rate of pay and how to correctly calculate the regular rate of pay, which is the key to making correct overtime pay calculations.

Each year, the U.S. Department of Labor assesses millions of dollars in penalties and back wages and overtime pay against employers who have failed to calculate employees’ regular rate of pay correctly. This audio seminar will teach you how to protect your organization from this compliance risk.

Register for audio seminar

Educating yourself and your organization on these compliance risks can help reduce the risk of miscalculation. An automated time and attendance solution can also eliminate these risks by automatically calculating your complex pay rules so that your employees are being paid correctly, while eliminating risk.
