How Time Clocks for BambooHR Improve Time Tracking Process

As a small business owner or manager, you wear many hats. One day you’re handling payroll processing, another day you’re managing IT infrastructure. Then there are days spent dealing with HR issues and compliance paperwork. 

Managing employee time can be a major headache. Manual time entry processes often lead to errors, disputes, and compliance risks. They can also open the door to time theft, costing your business money.  

What if you could address these challenges with a single, integrated time clock solution? 

The BambooHR marketplace features TimeCom, an Accu-Time Systems (ATS) automated time collection system designed to simplify your job and enhance your business’s efficiency.  

As the exclusive BambooHR partner providing a physical time clock, TimeCom combines BambooHR Time Tracking with the reliability of the stride80 time clock hardware. The seamless integration helps you improve payroll processing while protecting your bottom line. 

How Physical Time Clocks Improve Your BambooHR Time Tracking Accuracy 

Physical time clocks offer a straightforward and reliable way to track employee hours, far more precisely than software-based clocks. They improve payroll accuracy, streamline payroll processing, and simplify your compliance.  

Unlike mobile apps or web clocks, physical time clocks minimize the risk of time theft and input errors.

They capture exact work hours, creating dependable attendance records that are invaluable for resolving disputes or handling audits. Those records, when combined with your BambooHR scheduling data, also contribute to valuable reporting you can use to better manage your workforce and lower your labor costs with improved scheduling.  

Physical time clocks boost accountability by ensuring employees are physically present when they clock in or out. This reduces the chances of manipulation, making physical time clocks a robust and tamper-resistant option.  

For example, a company with 20 employees, each earning $20 per hour, could lose up to $41,600 annually to time theft if even a small amount of untracked time—just 10 minutes per day—goes unnoticed.  

With greater security, physical time clocks capture your employees' precise work hours and deliver that data to BambooHR Time Tracking in real time, saving you considerable time and money.  

With these savings, you’ll have time to focus on what matters most for your business: developing your team, nurturing customer relationships, improving financial management strategies.

Employees at the stride^®80 can:

• Select role or task when clocking, helping you track how much time and money is spent on different roles and tasks. 

• Indicate when they’re clocking in/out for breaks, creating documentation you’re complying with break laws. 

What to Expect from the stride^®80 Software 

The stride®80 software captures the exact time stamp for each punch in or out. It also allows employees to select project or task transfers at the clock. Having this information ensures they’re paid at the right rate for different tasks, and helps you track time and labor costs by projects and tasks. 

You can use the stride®80 to enforce shift starts and meal breaks, preventing time theft and improving compliance with fair labor practices. The software prevents employees from clocking in too early before their shift starts or returning from breaks prematurely.
