Contributing to employee cutbacks and layoffs, attendance tracking errors cost American small businesses billions each year. Small businesses can use time clock software to increase revenues by reducing errors and time clock administration. This helps businesses hire and retain more employees.

Time clock software called Clock Real Time (http://www.clockrealtime.com ) that reduces payroll costs, employee time errors and administration, was just released by Kneson Software. By recording complete events as close as possible to when they happen, Clock Real Time increases accuracy. Based on easily edited contract rules, the software manages daily attendance, holidays, breaks, sick leave, comp time and overtime. Businesses have reported lower payroll costs from first use.

Clock Real Time allows business managers to see employees clock in and out instantly. Allowing managers to see who is present or absent in real time anywhere in the company, the monitor component installs easily in multiple remote locations.

The software manager processes time events automatically. If a time record is missed or logged incorrectly, corrections take ten seconds or less. The software manager automatically maintains precise time values and applies time events to contract, time off and other employee settings and rules. Rules like when overtime occurs or when all employees must clock out can be applied in real time.

Getting started using the system can take as few as 15 minutes and installation and setup is clean and fast. With no further administration, setting up employees can take as little as one minute. Using magnetic swipe cards for each employee, Clock Real Time collects and processes hours automatically. Employees can use any type of magnetic membership or credit card for time events. Blank magnetic cards are available from Kneson Software.
