Use Biometric Time Clocks to Accelerate New Hire Onboarding
How long does it take for you to onboard a new employee? How many steps are involved in getting them onto yo
ur time clock and payroll systems? How much back-and-forth between field managers and HR?
If your workforce fluctuates—whether due to high turnover, seasonal workers, or staffing-related highs and lows—your answers matter. Because all that activity adds up to time stolen out of your workday.
According to workforce management experts, the way to start new employees off on the right foot is to focus on orientation and training. Not administrative processes. By streamlining admin, you boost productivity and improve a new hire’s likelihood of success.
So if you don’t have a good handle on your onboarding administration, it’s time to review it. Of course, your time and attendance system plays a big role here.
As for us, our system was designed for speedy onboarding, and we’ve just added new capabilities.
For EPAY clients with WalTer biometric time clocks, it currently takes field managers about one quick minute to register a new employee and his/her fingerprints.
Now, thanks to new payroll onboarding capabilities, managers can also register an employee’s payroll information at the time clock. It just takes about 5-10 minutes. And if you’re using our SimplyPaidTM Visa® pay cards, managers can activate those pay cards right on the spot, or sign workers up for direct deposit, all at the time clock.
It’s done using the time clock’s virtual keyboard The data flows directly into your payroll system, and in the case of direct deposit, is forwarded to the employee’s bank as well.
If you’re an EPAY client using WalTer time clocks, you don’t need any new equipment to start using this function. It’s ready and waiting for you.
Imagine: quick, easy onboarding admin, done all in one place. No forms, no back-and-forth.
