Why do offices ,schools ,organizations have to clock in and out? Why do we use timesheets,Biometric and the like? Why is there allocation of time in every activity or project?
There will be no way of billing for hours worked or for improving the accuracy of the work done without any accounting of time spent in work! We cannot tell which activity, program or project is profitable or which one we should never conduct or re-run again.!
In this article Let me look on detail at the benefits of accounting for time ,to mention approaches to time record that the schools ,organizations can use and to show what needs to be considered when deciding what type of time recording is correct.
In going to more specific, Why do you think we need to record time.Firstly,for payroll preparation.We can keep track of the time employees spent at work,the hours they worked.There are cases if we are not using a reliable machine, the organization will experience mistrust .It is a reality that there are those who are not honest. In the use of Biometric,not all schools are the same in their response to putting in order defective biometrics or sometimes the absence of technician to attend o it is the problem.In some schools, no biometric is given because of unavoidable reason or reasons. In short, efficiency suffers. To avoid this, it pays that the machine to be used is really reliable. With this, time-keeping can really protect everybody in the organization on any payments thy are due. The organization can also be freed from”roll call” duties and can focus on more value-added works.Time-keeping isalso accurately helpful in invoicing ,in identifying productivity.We can minimize time spentin administrative works or duties.We can tell and recordhow productive each employee is by measuring the proportion of each day that he spends on chargeable work.Employees with the same salary grade can be easily evaluated in terms of speed, of quality in their work. Recording thetime spent can make us analyze how accurate the estimating process,whether the work takes longer than expected even when highly efficient people are doing it. By collecting the said type of information, we can tract data which can give more accuratepicture on how efficiently each one in the organization is performing the tasks set for them. We willalso know what work is being done more or less.The more information we gather,the better we can have a good picture on how our organization is running.
People time is the most costly resource. It is therefore essential to monitor the use of the time within the organization. It can help improve many things particularly on productivity.
