It is not sufficient to allow an employee’s paycheck alone to communicate the pay policies of your company. Upon hiring any employee and discussing their compensation, there should be a clear and consistent pay policy already in place, and all managers and administration should be fully aware and trained in these policies and procedures. Of course, it is acceptable for an employee with advanced education or skills to have a higher compensation than another employee, but this shouldn’t be a secretive process.

Round away! But, wait! Do you really know the rules?
Employee time rounding is a necessary and essential part of any business, especially one that employs workers with hourly shifts. It involves determining pay for hourly employees based on when they clock in and out. If an employee’s shift begins at 6:00 pm, for example, and he or she clocks in five minutes early, that time can be rounded up. The Department of Labor, under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), permits rounding of employee time either to the nearest five minutes, one-tenth or quarter hour. So, it is important to remember that ignoring the laws can lead to costly fines for unpaid compensation due to any employee.

Ensuring that your employees have an easy, accurate, and reliable way to clock in and out of work is such an important aspect of any business. Whether your company is large or small, deciding what system to use is a great way to tailor your employee time management system to best suit your needs.
