Managing remote employees comes with a unique set of problems because they work with little or no supervision. Do they arrive at the jobsite on time? Do they leave while on the clock? Do they get there at all?
We've got you covered and can give you peace of mind with a few essential tools.
5 Essential Tools to Manage Your Remote Workforce
Schedule with No-Show Alerts
The last phone call you ever want to get is a client telling you their job wasn't done. You can prevent that call by creating schedules for your employees, and if they don't show up by a specified time, we'll send you a text or email. Check out this video on how to create schedules.
Require Employees to Clock In from the Jobsite Landline Phone
You may already tell your employees to clock in from the jobsite landline because it's a surefire way of guaranteeing they are on-site, but do they? You can ensure they do by doing two things: Linking jobsite caller IDs to the job codes and blocking employee cell phones. Take a look at this article for more info - Restrict Clock-Ins To Job Site Landlines.
Set Geofences to Detect Employees Who Aren't at the Jobsite When Clocking In/Out
Create geofences for your jobs, and our Smart Tracks™ technology reports when employees clock in or out away from the jobsite (if they are using the app).
Maintain Compliance by Paying DOL-Required Travel Pay
You're inviting the Department of Labor to scour your books if a disgruntled employee reports you for not paying travel time. Don't let that happen to you! Use our Travel Manager feature to automatically capture travel time based on actual time between jobs or Google Maps™ estimates.
Simplify Payroll with Our QuickBooks Integration or Payroll Exports
If you use QuickBooks for payroll, we have a zippy integration that seamlessly sends your timesheet hours from Chronotek into the timesheet section of QB. An easy payroll day is just a few clicks away. We also have payroll exports for many payroll companies, including ADP, Paychex, and Paycom.
These five essential tools will help carry some of the weight of managing your remote workforce.
