ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / May 22, 2015 / In the past, when Roger Miller processed payroll and tabulated the hours worked for the Zapata County probation officers, it would take him up to three hours and was done on one computer that kept crashing. Today, he manages employee time and attendance with cloud-based PayClock(R) Online, which significantly reduces the time and effort to process employee time records for payroll.
What's more, Zapata County probation officers like the mobile functionality, because they can clock in and out with their smartphones, a key time-saving advantage since these officers are often in the field.
"The Juvenile Probation Officers can use their smart phones to clock in and out and record their time, even after regular working hours when they're transporting juveniles in the middle of the night," said Miller, a police officer who manages employee time and attendance for the County Juvenile Probation Department in Zapata, Texas. "For me, the ability to view employee time records on any computer is the biggest benefit. I have seen a 20 to 25 percent improvement in overall efficiency since using PayClock Online."
Public sector organizations have improved time and attendance management for employees through Lathem's PayClock(R) Online cloud-based solution, citing reliability, flexibility, convenience and significant time savings as top benefits to their organizations.
Josh Crawford of the Central Arkansas Transit Authority has reduced the time it takes to manage employee time and attendance by as much as 60 percent using PayClock Online.
"I used to manually enter the drivers' time into an Excel spreadsheet," Crawford said. "We moved to PayClock Online, and now I can manage employee time records every day, any time of day. The system automatically calculates totals, PTO accruals, regular time and overtime. PayClock Online has cut my payroll processing time by more than half."
Because of the success, the Central Arkansas Transit Authority is in the process of extending PayClock Online to additional departments and more than doubling the number of employees using the cloud based time and attendance system.
PayClock Online's cloud-based functionality means all the time records are updated in real-time. Regardless of how or when a customer accesses the information or processes payroll, the information is always completely up-to-date.
The Town of Franklin in upstate New York relies on the real-time updates and remote access. Melissa Begor, secretary, can work from a remote location on the days she processes payroll, without having to head to town hall. "Being able to access the information from wherever I am is a huge plus," Begor said. "If I get a question from the Superintendent, I can log on immediately and I don't have to go over to town hall. It's all about the convenience of accessing employee time and attendance information remotely."
The Hazel Crest Park District in Illinois uses PayClock Online to manage its seasonal staff, which fluctuates from 20 - 50 employees to up to 100 staff members in the peak summer season.
Sharon Kriha, assistant director, said, "The reliability and dependability of PayClock Online are what's most important to me. There are no inconsistencies, less manual manipulation, and a reduction in errors."
She also made note of Lathem's customer service center. "They listen to what our team requires for a successful employee time and attendance system. Lathem has customized reports for exactly what we need."
