Weekly schedule templates for non-desk workers

Time is money. ??

It is also one of the biggest resource crunches that small businesses face.

In a fast-paced business environment, it’s crucial for small businesses—especially those with non-desk workers—to efficiently schedule work to optimize time and resources.

In this post, we will discuss how creating daily or weekly schedules can help small businesses, such as yours, keep track of projects, maximize productivity, and meet deadlines.

Employee clocking in and out policies

In the absence of a proper clocking in and out policy, small businesses, especially those tracking work hours, are vulnerable to time theft and abuse. This can result in overpayments and financial loss, limiting their ability to scale up.

To accurately track employee work hours, prevent payroll errors, and potential disputes, we recommend hourly businesses implement a well-defined clocking in and out policy.

Let’s understand what time tracking entails and how to create a clocking in and out policy that works well for your unique business needs.

Basically, a clocking in and out policy is a set of clearly defined rules and procedures that employees must follow to record their work hours at the start and end of their work hours. A clocking in and out policy helps businesses track attendance, accurately record the number of hours each employee works, calculate wages, and ensure compliance with labor laws.

In the US, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provides guidelines for time clock rules for hourly employees. It also regulates minimum wages, overtime payments, and recordkeeping.

Creating and implementing a clocking in and out policy is essential for promoting punctuality and accountability among employees. By ensuring that the recorded work hours are genuine, it can help businesses prevent fraud and unnecessary overpayments.
