Building Firm Installs Time and Attendance System To Improve Attendance Management


time and attendance system

Master Builders Solutions installed a Time and Attendance System to enhance staff time management and receive accurate clocking times for payroll purposes.

Master Builders Solutions UK employs over 100 members of staff who are responsible for the manufacturing of concrete additives and ready-mixed concrete plants for customers all over the UK. They have three main sites, these being in Swinton, Rochester and Redditch.  

Employing over 100 people can often require a lot of work for the HR department in a business; from calculating working hours, to providing accurate payroll. Not only this, but without a Time and Attendance System in place, it is almost impossible to track employee clockings and there must be a huge element of trust that employees are honest with their clockings. 

Tensor’s Time and Attendance System is also available with an advanced Fire Roll Call System, of which Master Builders Solutions has installed. Nigel Sloss, the Health & Safety Manager at Master Builders Solutions said, “The system sends an email to the management team on site, and the management team can use the Fire Roll Call app on their mobile phones so the data of who is on/off site is instantly accessible”. He added, “Thankfully, we have only used the Fire Roll Call for practice, and it’s great! You can actually check people off on the app so it just makes life so much easier”. 

Advanced Time and Attendance System for businesses

Introducing a Time and Attendance System into your workplace has the power to propel workforce management to another level. An Attendance Management System will reduce the workload for your HR department and increase the accuracy of employee clockings. 

Time and Attendance can help to reduce the workload for HR teams by automatically producing a list of clocking’s for a week or at the end of the month ready for payday. Additionally, a Time and Attendance system is designed to ensure employees clock in and out of shifts as per working hours, which ultimately eradicates time fraud and members of staff working less than their contracted hours.

How does Time & Attendance work?

A Time and Attendance system can come in various forms depending on a company’s needs and preferences. 

One of these forms is Time and Attendance using Smart Cards. Smart Card Time and Attendance provides employees with allocated smart cards that allow them to clock themselves in and out of shifts using the Time and Attendance machine

Smart cards can be reused, recycled and reassigned to employees should there be a new starter. This feature is especially useful for organisations with a high turnover of staff as it means there won’t be a constant need to reorder smart cards for members of staff.

Another form that a Time and Attendance System is available in is Biometric Time and Attendance. A Biometric Time and Attendance System uses either Facial Recognition or Fingerprint readings to clock members of staff in and out of shifts. 

Biometric Time and Attendance is the perfect Attendance Management Solution for businesses looking for a stricter clocking system that ensures employees cannot clock each other in or out of shifts without the actual person being present. A Biometric Time and Attendance System also adds an additional layer of security for businesses.
