Time & attendance

Manage compliance with wage and hour regulations

Complying with wage regulations and hour rules, such as overtime and meal breaks, is necessary to protect your business from penalties. But relying on managers alone for consistent enforcement and oversight is risky. Alternatively, you can use ADP time and attendance software to help meet compliance requirements and track the data and documents you’ll need in case of an audit.

For our Workforce Now clients, you can add on Compliance on Demand, which lets you consult ADP’s team of experts or share best practices with peers in our online customer community. This service also has a content library full of information on wage and hour compliance at the federal, state and local levels.

Time tracking helps control labor costs

Tracking and monitoring time is an important part of managing your labor costs. And, as you grow, this can become more challenging. With ADP, managing and improving your time and attendance process just got easier.

With employee time tracking and payroll reporting from ADP, you can see when people are approaching overtime and visualize the true costs of labor — including temporary staff — and adjust hours as necessary.

Our time and attendance software also offers features to help prevent employees from abusing the system and costing you money. For example, facial or finger scanning as a form of identification can stop people from clocking in and out on behalf of others – also known as “buddy punching.”

Geo-fencing ensures that those who are using a mobile clocking app are within a certain distance of a physical work location, and geo-pinning can mark precisely where they were when clocking, so you can see location violations.

Manage employee scheduling efficiently

ADP time and attendance solutions make it easier and faster to create schedules that work for everyone. You can spot trends and correct gaps in coverage before they negatively impact your environment and employees have access to self-service features for improved productivity and engagement.

• Shift scheduling brings your employee schedules online, and provides many conveniences for managers to quickly create and assign shifts to workers, including the ability to post open shifts for the staff to claim.
• Collaborative scheduling permits employees to swap shifts with or request coverage from coworkers, and people can communicate when they can or cannot work in advance. – all from a mobile device.
• Configurable work rules, such as maximum daily hours and maximum consecutive days, help simplify compliance with work policies.

*Availability of scheduling features varies by time and attendance product

Online timekeeping increases productivity

When you use ADP’s time and attendance solutions, staff enter their hours worked using a smart timeclock, a web timesheet, a kiosk app on a shared tablet or a mobile app on a personal mobile phone. Breaks, PTO, holiday and other time are also collected directly from the employee.

The system then automatically calculates the totals and sends them to payroll, leaving you and your managers with little to do but monitor for exceptions, like missed punches, and make the necessary corrections. As a result of not having to go through every timecard you have more time to spend improving business operations and supporting customers.

Time tracking software improves payroll accuracy

Using it, you can instantly calculate hourly totals based on your payroll policies, including overtime, and avoid costly mistakes. Time data flows directly to payroll to avoid manual, and potentially error-prone, data entry.

Employee time tracking with flexibility

Flexible access to information helps remove obstacles, creates a seamless experience and improves the overall engagement of your workforce. Designed with self-service options, ADP’s time and attendance solutions works with smart time clocks, web browsers and mobile devices. This allows authorized employees and supervisors to complete time-sensitive tasks quickly, easily and in a way that works best for them.
