When you think about the term time tracking, payroll often come to mind first, especially if you have hourly employees. Whether you have a payroll component in your management software or if you use a third-party vendor, you have a way for onsite employees to record their attendance each day. If you have employees that work from home or who travel to client sites, you might be able to record those events as well. But oftentimes, payroll systems aren’t designed to help you use that data in other ways for other purposes. Consider a few examples.

Evaluating Employee Effectiveness

Plumbing companies might know how many hours a plumber worked on any given day, but does their management software record how much time is spent on each service call? It could, but that software might not be affordable for a small company. Why would this be important? If you could compare the time different plumbers spend on similar repairs, you could determine whether a particular plumber might not be well suited to a particular type of repair when compared to the other plumbers. You might also learn which plumber is so efficient at a specific task that he should be the one you always assign to handle those jobs. The point is this. There are many ways to use time data once it is captured, but only if you have the right tools.

Don’t Squander Your Time
