Online time and attendance: main pros and implementation

It is possible to monitor time and attendance in an intelligent way, combining speed and reliability with modernity and compliance

 

Remote and hybrid work arrangements gained momentum during the pandemic, encouraging changes in organizational structures and corporate processes. The implementation of online time and attendance systems (TNA) was among the practices adopted by many employers in this new context.

Even companies that have since resumed their on-site arrangements have continued to use remote time and attendance systems, as this alternative has established itself as an effective solution for personnel management.

This new technology adds many advantages to a company's daily routine. Check out some of its benefits below:

1. Convenience and efficiency in management control

At each clock-in and clock-out, managers are able to monitor the time recorded on their employees’ computers or cell phones in real time. Online softwares streamline management activities by using visual aids to provide information, thus facilitating consultation and approval.

2. Cost reduction

An online time system eliminates the costs with old-fashioned manual clocks. It is not necessary to have any specific physical equipment for this purpose, as each employee records their time using a computer or cell phone.

In addition, since online time control is readily accessible in real time, it is very practical to keep track of delays and non-authorized overtime, among other situations.

Keeping the team's working hours under control avoids exposure to labor risks, which leads to saving costs.

3. Complying with the laws in effect

This solution is in line with the labor laws in effect for the process of tracking employee working hours, being a way to comply with the recently published MP No. 1,108/2022, which establishes that all employees under the remote or hybrid work arrangements (except for those who provide services by production or tasks) must have their working hours monitored.

And nothing is better than to have a reliable online time and attendance tool at your disposal to comply with the current legislation.

4. Team mobility

By using geolocation, employees record their time of arrival and departure from work, from anywhere, through a browser or cell phone application. The system shows the time, date, and place where the employee is.

More autonomy for employees

Each employee can easily access information on their working hours. As soon as the employee punches in, the information is made instantly available on the system’s portal. By using a computer or an app, it is possible to consult time sheets, as well as the monthly balance of hours worked or their accumulated comp time.
