Central to a successful public sector organization is a powerful time and attendance solution that increases employee engagement and operational efficiency while accurately enforcing complex payroll rules.
With ever-increasing technological advancements, employees and their organizations are seeking solutions that enable intuitive access to key information as well as simple and accurate time entry. The unique nature of public sector organizations requires flexible solutions that meet the individual needs of departments, bargaining units, employees and key stakeholders while simultaneously managing the organization as a whole.
Why “one size fits all” doesn’t work
Managing the unique needs of different groups within an organization can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and often costly for state and local governments. Paper processing, disparate systems, inconsistent processes and a general lack of insight into employee time and leave can increase the risk of dollars being lost. While many organizations require solutions that enable easy time and attendance tracking with insight into costs, such as Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), overtime and grant spending, their current solutions fall short, creating inefficiencies and costly payroll errors. Due to these shortcomings, organizations find they need multiple timekeeping solutions, requiring additional investment and challenging process workarounds.
State and local governments not only need immediate access to timely, accurate information, but also must remain flexible and agile as new federal and state legislation affect time and attendance rules. As seen with the most recent federal mandate resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, public sector organizations require solutions that can easily be configured to adhere to new legislation while also meeting their unique needs.
