Guest post by: Samantha Morse

Article Overview: Payroll often comes off as quiet hassle. New technology in time and attendance software is making this tedious task run a lot smoother for businesses. With options to make time and attendance mobile, and just more advanced in house systems too, the future of time card software is here.

Ease the Hassle of Payroll with New Technologies

Payroll can become quite tedious. It seems as though payroll translates into endless paperwork and numbers that can really bring your day down. However, new time tracking software is beginning to make this annoying task a thing of the past.

Time and Attendance has been going high-tech, and even mobile, making small business payroll servicessimpler and employees happier. One new mobile version is the AboutTime app for cell phones. It is great for employees who frequently work out of the office. It can send time and attendance reports instantly and paper free.

The app includes GPS, fingerprint recognition, and other innovative services allowing for a more efficiently run business. The data is transferred right into the accounting system so that the company can instantly generate reports, invoices, and quick payroll processing services with the click of a button. In fact, clients using this software have reported an average of 15% reduction in payroll costs.

Another new technology is an app developed by Econz. It allows management to view time, attendance, job tasks, cost codes, breaks and GPS tracking data of all mobile workers. It is called the Timecard app, and it is argued to increase worker productivity, making sure they are on time, and take timely breaks. Again the reduction of paper use allows for lower costs, and less employee time spent on payroll paperwork, which allows for an overall more efficiently run business.

Biometrics is also an increasing trend in time and attendance. Fingerprint scans, eye scans, and even voice recognition scans are all viable biometric options. The most frequently used however is fingerprint scanning. This means that each time an employee clocks in or out, their fingerprint is scanned to ensure that they are indeed who they are claiming to be. This is great in preventing fellow employees from clocking out their friends at a later time.

The way this works is by enrolling each employee into the system. Each fingerprint is paired with an employee login ID number, again preventing any security breaches that often occur in the workplace. If security is not your biggest worry, a new high-tech innovation is still just as appealing.

With all of this new technology coming out, it seems as though business is going to start running a lot smoother. With the hassle of payroll being reduced, and easier time and attendance software, employees will be happier which transfers into happier customers as well, and as business people we know that is most important.

Clothing Niche - Yasunori, can you dig deeper into the clothing niche? e.g. Business Casual for people 6ft and taller (men only, women only or both). Victoria Secret is big in Canada because they don't have retail Stores here and the only way to get their product in Canada is thru online purchases. They have a great Hassle-free return policy too.

Workplace Warrior: Insights and advice for winning on the co - Workplace Warrior: Insights and advice for winning on the corporate battlefield Kay Hammer 2000 From the inside jacket: Successful people don't get to the top without struggles. But few are willing to expose the failures and setbacks that have lined their paths through the battle zones of business. Kay Hammer is that rare breed. With startling candor and penetrating intelligence, this "very modern, very American heroine (Forbes) gives a frank and full recounting of her mid-career reinvention, from a linguistics professor alone to the President, CEO, and co-founder of Evolutionary Technologies International... Hammer's new life began with an epiphany - that nothing substantive in her life would change unless she made it happen. There would be no Prince Charming. From that moment on, she began a long, ardous journey to carve for herself in the youthful, male-dominated software industry-a journey which she likens to serving the apprenticeship of a medieval warrior... Her strategies are geared for battles on all fronts: not only for disarming foes, gaining allies, and winning battles in the boardroom, but also for confronting the internal enemies of self-doubt, fear of failure, and unresolved anger.
