What to look for in a Time & Attendance company

ERSBio is a pioneering company in the realm of time and attendance solutions. In an era where efficient management of workforce attendance is paramount, ERSBio stands at the forefront, offering innovative technologies and strategies to streamline this crucial aspect of organizational operations. Today, we delve into the intricacies of their solutions, exploring how they are revolutionizing the landscape of time tracking and attendance evaluation for businesses across industries.

Delme Hawkins, Sales and Marketing Director for ERSBio, was gracious enough to answer a few questions relating to the needs you should be evaluating when choosing a T&A company.

Q:  To start, could you tell us a bit about ERSBio and your expertise in the T&A industry?

Absolutely. ERSBio has been a leading provider of Time and Attendance solutions for over a decade. We specialize in offering comprehensive T&A systems tailored to meet the unique needs of businesses across various industries, from biometric technology to mobile applications. Our team brings a wealth of experience and expertise in T&A technology, implementation, and support to ensure our clients achieve maximum efficiency and accuracy in managing employee work hours.

Q: When considering a T&A solution, what are the key factors that organizations should look for?

Great question. There are several factors that organizations should consider when evaluating T&A solutions:

  • Functionality: The solution should offer a wide range of features to effectively track employee attendance, including clocking device options, scheduling capabilities, absence management, leave calculations, and reporting tools.
  • Integration: Compatibility with existing systems, such as payroll and HR software, is crucial for seamless data integration and process automation.
  • Scalability: The solution should be scalable to accommodate the organization’s growth and evolving needs, whether it’s adding new locations, increasing the number of employees, or catering for temporary staff.
  • User-Friendly Interface: An intuitive and user-friendly interface is essential for easy adoption and use by employees and administrators alike.
  • Compliance: Ensure that the solution complies with relevant labour regulations and industry standards to avoid compliance issues and penalties. For South Africa, that would mean complying with POPIA, keeping records for potential CCMA cases and the likes.
  • Support and Training: Look for a provider that offers comprehensive training and ongoing support to assist with implementation, troubleshooting, and system maintenance.

Q: Those are all important considerations. How does ERSBio address these factors in your T&A solutions?

At ERSBio, we prioritise delivering robust T&A solutions that meet the needs of our clients. Our systems offer advanced functionality, seamless integration with leading payroll and HR platforms, and scalability to support businesses of all sizes. We have multiple modules that businesses can subscribe to, whether you are in need of the basics, or a more defined workflow.

We pride ourselves on providing user-friendly interfaces and offer extensive training and support to ensure our clients maximize the value of their investment.

Additionally, our solutions are designed to ensure compliance with relevant labour regulations, giving our clients peace of mind.

Q: Can you share any success stories or examples of how your T&A solutions have benefited other organizations?

Certainly. We’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients across industries, helping them streamline their time and attendance processes, improve accuracy, and reduce administrative burdens. One example is a large-scale factory that has problem with employees clocking in for one another on an outdated punch card machine. Our system uses biometric identification, making it extremely difficult for fraudulent clocking activities to take place.

They also opted to install a breathalyser system that allows them to deny access to inebriated employees and clocks them out for work, ensuring a safer work environment.

Q:  That’s a great example of the impact that T&A solutions can have. Thank you for sharing. Lastly, how can organizations get started with ERSBio and learn more about your T&A solutions?
