How a Physical Bamboo Clock Can Benefit Your Small Business

Time is money, especially for small businesses using BambooHR Time Tracking. Enter physical time clocks integrated with BambooHR – your secret weapon for streamlining payroll processes and making your life easier.  

Let's explore four ways a Bamboo clock can benefit your business operations and boost your bottom line. 

#1 Ensures Payroll Accuracy

How much time do you spend reviewing payroll sheets and fixing errors? Save yourself the hassle by using a physical time clock to capture precise punch data. 

TimeCom for BambooHR is a cloud-based time collection system. It integrates BambooHR Time Tracking with the stride®80 time clock to track employee work hours accurately. The stride®80 records the exact time for every punch — no rounding needed, no risk of human error.  

Unlike mobile applications that require you to say how many hours you worked or will work, stride®80 instantly sends precise work hour data directly to your BambooHR Time Tracking software in real time. With attendance times automatically collected at the time clock, there’s no room for employees to question their wages. 

TimeCom also allows employees who work in multiple positions to select the specific project or task when clocking in. This ensures that all work hours are paid at the correct rate. 

#2 Physical Time Clocks for BambooHR Decreases Time Theft

The stride®80 time clock serves as a guard against time theft. Web or mobile clocks make time theft easy which might tempt employees to be creative with their punches. A physical time clock, located in a common area, makes time theft more difficult. 

A biometric time clock provides the greatest protection against time theft by making buddy punching impossible. After all, no two people have the same fingerprints or share the same facial features. The stride®80 offers two biometric configurations, facial recognition and fingerprint scanning. Both options ensure that only the person who should be clocking in is doing so.  

#3 Fortifies Compliance 

Because physical time clocks capture exact work hours, they feed your BambooHR Time Tracking system with unassailable data. This creates a reliable data trail and documentation for wage disputes or compliance audits.  

With TimeCom, employees can specify at the stride®80 clock when they’re punching in and out for their meal break. The system transmits the punch data in real time, creating a record that they took their break and for how long. It also prevents employees from clocking in early from their meal break, ensuring they take their full legally mandated break time. This function improves your business’s actual compliance with break laws and provides real-time documentation of your compliance. 

This automated data collection raises compliance management beyond human capabilities, lowering your risk of costly errors, fines, or penalties. 

#4 Enhances Employee Insights 

Without a time collection device for your BambooHR software, you are unable to identify key performance indicators.   

TimeCom’s two-way data sharing with BambooHR helps you unlock valuable performance patterns. By comparing employees’ worked hours against their scheduled hours, you can easily identify who is frequently absent. 

This insightful employee monitoring and time tracking software empowers you to make informed staffing decisions by revealing workforce trends. Understanding these trends allows you to avoid costly under- or overstaffing situations. With the right number of employees on each shift, you can minimize unnecessary labor expenses.
