Temp Kiosks and/or Portable Time Clocks for Use at Temp Agency Job Sites

Companies that routinely utilize temps should post kiosks in their HR departments or near their employee sign-in areas or time clocks that would allow them (the temps) to clock in and out and that would directly communicate each temp’s time worked to their agency’s payroll software. This would facilitate temp payroll processes and save tons of paper, ink cartridges, and synonymous costs...

It would curtail need for temps to deliver their time sheets to and from their job sites and return them to their agencies and/or the need for delegated client managers to fax, email, or otherwise deliver time sheets for temps to staffing agencies. Every employee time clock should communicate directly with payroll software. Paper could essentially be eliminated from temp [and all] payroll processes...

Agencies should create and email or fax a list of all expected workers for a particular job to and for role call by the client and, optionally, the signature of each temp juxtapose their listed names. If a temp is added or swapped out for another, this should be communicated in an updated or supplemented list, or otherwise verified, of course, between the agency and the client.

Temp agencies could, optionally, and as an added security measure, disburse portable, preferably, biometric time clocks that scan fingerprints to their client job sites for especially extensive or multiple day projects in which multiple temps are utilized.   

Portable agency time clocks could be mounted or posted in juxtaposition to clients’ employee time clocks, where, ideally, there is a camera, or they could be posted or mounted near a customer service desk or where there is a physical staff member to match reporting temps with their identification badges and/or to show newbies how to utilize and/or to address any problems with the equipment. Temp ID badges could, optionally, be swiped or scanned on the prescribed kiosks or portable time clocks, or temp clients/companies can program their traditional employee time clocks to sync with the payroll software of the agencies that provide their temporary workers... 

An employee who has worked all day or night should not have to drive back and forth, or, worse, catch public transportation to their agency to deliver their time sheets, especially if it is an agency that pays each day; and why should client companies have to fax over time sheets each day, or once a week, or every other week when there is a more efficient method of temp time reporting...

Some companies are already utilizing kiosks that allow temps to sign in. Syncing these kiosks with payroll software would save a lot of red tape. Portable time clocks are too already in existence (Portable temp agency time clocks could, optionally, bear the agencies’ names and logos; and there should be a company or varied competitors that specialize in this)... 

Pay cards like Global Cash Card... have eliminated the need for temps to pay substantial fees to cash their checks if they do not have checking accounts. Temp kiosks and/or portable time clocks that sync with temp payroll software would facilitate temp payroll process all the more, and allow temporary workers to focus on optimally performing their jobs without routine concerns over their pay...
