Challenges
Managing time and attendance for Construction Resources' employees within 12 different companies was challenging. The various companies previously used a mix of automated and manual time and attendance solutions. The disparity of these solutions caused inefficiencies that were time consuming and costly. As a result Construction Resources' payroll manager Jacque Wilson couldn’t easily integrate employee worked time data for processing payroll. Construction Resources was not able to set up different employee pay codes with the old employee time tracking systems. Managers had no daily access to employee time data to effectively manage and avoid unnecessary overtime. Their former employee time and attendance system vendor was lacking in providing quality customer support. Construction Resources needed to manage field-based employees in different states and the existing vendor did not have a mobile app solution for remote workers. Mrs. Wilson needed a system that would enable her to manage different pay codes, worked time, overtime, benefit time, as well as a mobile workforce.
The Solution 
Construction Resources has a large team of employees with different pay rates, worked time and overtime. CR Home needed a system that would manage different pay codes, worked time, overtime, benefit time, as well as a mobile workforce. The company turned to Lathem's PayClock Online. The PayClock Online system for enterprise workforce management centralizes employee time and attendance to increase productivity, control labor costs, and maintain compliance.
Mrs. Wilson worked closely with the Lathem customer service team to build a consistent, enterprise-wide integrated solution that suited her needs. Now Construction Resources uses more than 20 Lathem time clocks throughout the company’s different locations, including Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and Alabama. The clocks range from CloudTouch, Lathem’s newest time clock that uses a fingerprint reader, to its FaceIN face recognition clocks that seamlessly integrate with cloud-based PayClock Online.
The cloud-based functionality of PayClock Online means that when an employee clocks in from the South Carolina office, Wilson can see it immediately on her phone, tablet or PC in Georgia. She can view employee worked time, pull reports, approve time off, and process payroll at her convenience. With PayClock Online, she’s confident she can complete payroll on time.
"I love the ease of PayClock Online, the fact that it’s user friendly is great.
We process payroll weekly and PayClock Online now saves me more than four hours every week"
