Last month we discussed the Xerox Team Availability app, which is a great staff tracking solution for hybrid offices. This month, we’d like to discuss a great alternative for workplaces which mostly staff in-person teams.
Many business owners and accountants have had the best of intentions when they set up a time clock system for the staff at their organization—but as many in leadership roles will tell you, it can be difficult to train staff into using a “clock in, clock out” system.
The good news is that if you have a modern, ConnectKey-enabled Xerox device, establishing a simple-yet-effective time clock system for your office or workplace is now easier than ever thanks to the ET-Badge app.
In today’s post on the Southwest Office Solutions blog, we’ll examine this app in more detail to see if it’s a good choice for your organization.
Let’s begin:
An Easy Clock Time App That Helps Keep Staff Motivated to Clock in and Out
The ET-Badge app, at its core, is a simple time tracking system. It conveniently runs on the Xerox device itself for staff to clock in or out, and workplace leaders have access to a detailed-yet-intuitive web portal to be able to check reporting on staff activity.
Here’s how it works: each day, staff members are expected to clock in or out using the ET-Badge app. Right at the Xerox device, they can authenticate themselves using a PIN code or, as the app’s namesake implies, a physical badge card. Administrators can choose to require both a PIN and badge swipe. This dual-use system is great, because it means that offices which don’t utilize a card or badge system can still use the app.
For team members who may not be physically present at the office, the ET-Badge app also has an online platform for team members to use, which allows for clocking in or out over their web browser. This is critical for offices which may have remote staff, either permanently located elsewhere or simply those working from home.
How the ET-Badge App Helps During Payroll Calculations
The ET-Badge app is a great time saver for anyone working in human resources or payroll. The online administrative portal allows users to quickly review clock time for staff, but the real power of the app shines when reports are generated.
These automatically generated reports contain all the information an accountant, business owner, or human resources team member need to get their jobs done—accurately.
The ET-Badge app also includes a system for implementing rewards for staff who remember to clock in and clock out each day, helping keep them motivated to remember to always use the time clock system.
