Time Card Software Review

Why Use Time Card Software?

Using Time Card Software can save time counting employee hours for payroll. Employees also save time keeping track of their own records by taking only a few seconds to clock in on a computer instead of writing it down. Most time card programs can track breaks, lunch deductions and overtime, thus allowing your employees to work on stuff that really matters.

Time Card Software should track accrual and use of benefit hours like vacation, sick leave and more. You can quickly see how much each employee has earned and used if an inquiry is made.

Perhaps the most helpful feature of time card software is the reports that they create. Payroll reports can be compiled in seconds and sent to accounting or exported to your payroll program. Reports are accurate and detailed. Different programs create different reports, so make sure to find a program that fits your reporting needs.

What to Look for in Time Card Software

Time Card Software should be easy–to–use in order to accommodate every level of computer literacy. Employees need to be able to clock in quickly and easily. Some programs allow employees to view their timecards and others do not. Data should be readily collected for payroll reports, employee reports and more.

Below are the criteria TopTenREVIEWS used to evaluate time card software:

Time–tracking Features
Time Card Software should do more than just track employees’ working hours. Good products will also track vacation and sick leave accrual, overtime and more. Paid holidays should be automatically entered into employees’ time cards, and some programs will let you track both hourly and salary employees.

Reports
The main concern All Time Card Software should create a payroll report with totals for hours worked as well as wages earned. Some programs create other useful reports such as employee reports, attendance reports, annual summary reports and more. If you use payroll software, look for time card software that will allow you to export reports into your payroll program.

Ease of Use
All Time Card Software should be easy to use in order to accommodate everyone’s computer skills. Even those who will manage the administrative functions of the software should have no problem learning or navigating the software.

Help/Support
Time Card Software should include a good user manual and support through email, telephone, FAQ and user forums.
