Workforce Time and Attendance – Save Time and Get It Right!

November 24, 2021 in Thought Leadership, Workforce Management

It's crucial to get the scheduling and planning right to ensure you get the most out of your labor spend. - Quote by Dan Reed, Services Manager at StoreForce

The largest single controllable expense in retail is labor. It’s crucial to get the scheduling and planning right to ensure you get the most out of your labor spend. At the same time, it’s important that your people are paid fairly and accurately.  

If you still don’t have a Time and Attendance (T&A) tool that automates reconciliation to help support running your stores, keep reading. 

Many retailers are still trying to manage and approve time and attendance in their stores without the use of a modern Time and Attendance tool. If this is the case, you may be wasting valuable time trying to reconcile schedule hours, or you may be missing hours or not paying your employees accurately. This can make you non-compliant toward labor laws, with significant implications. Using a Time and Attendance tool helps to streamline processes, allowing you to spend your time on driving the customer experience. 

StoreForce easily adapts to provide the required output to many payroll vendors. - Quote by Dan Reed, Services Manager at StoreForce

StoreForce easily adapts to provide the required output to many payroll vendors. When you use the StoreForce T&A tool in conjunction with scheduling and reporting, it will also help to measure performance so that goals can be reached quicker. 

With StoreForce, you can automatically approve your employee’s clocking in and out time punches. Managers will only need to spend time approving those time punch exceptions which are outside defined thresholds.  

StoreForce is built to handle local regional labor laws in countries around the world, helping you to stay compliant and avoid penalties. - Quote by Dan Reed, Services Manager at StoreForce

StoreForce is built to handle local regional labor laws in countries around the world, helping you to stay compliant and avoid penalties. As legislative requirements are introduced or adapted, we work with our retail client base to update parameters or create new rule sets to ensure compliance. 

Time approved is recorded within the system, so tracking activities is made possible. This gives you an accurate measurement of individual and store labor allocations. In addition, activities are also recorded, so you can see how your labor budget is being spent. 

In summary, StoreForce’s T&A tool will simplify your store operations and save you time by streamlining processes. It provides insights based on accurate data, such as performance metrics for both stores and individuals. Whether you use it alone or in conjunction with other tools in the StoreForce suite, our T&A tool will provide numerous benefits to your business.
