In fact, with sophisticated software based in the cloud, your landline users can be just as “mobile” as your fancy gadget employees.
A telephony feature is the right solution for off-site employees working at locations without Internet service. Using a landline or cell phone, the integrated voice recognition (IVR) prompts callers to enter their clock in and clock out data –– just like an employee time clock.
Your employees can even perform other time and labor functions over the phone, such as:
- Transfer labor hours
- Submit time sheets
- Check benefit accrual balances
- Review hours worked
The information is then made available on the Manager Dashboard. And, as a secure feature, managers can define which phone numbers employees are allowed to call from.
