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...
