Timekeeping Comparison

A Practical Alternative to Paper Timesheets

Paper can work for a very small team, but every handwritten timecard eventually has to be collected, checked and turned into payroll data. Work-A-Beez moves that workflow into one browser-based system.

Typical alternative

Employees write or sign their hours on paper, managers collect the sheets, and someone manually totals or re-enters the time before payroll.

Work-A-Beez approach

Employees clock in and out with an ID and PIN from employer-authorized computers. Managers review time entries, schedules, attendance and payroll-ready records online.

Key differences

Who this is a good fit for

Businesses that are spending manager time collecting, totaling or re-keying paper timecards and want a controlled workplace clock without buying dedicated punch-clock hardware.
