Open-Source Employee Management Software

I went to visit my friend at his office last week. It was a long promised visit that I finally managed to fulfill. When I was there, I was surprised that his office is still using the old employee punch card system. His company runs 24 hours and the staff are on three eight hourly shifts, so you can imagine the chaos in keeping track of staff scheduling and attendance.

I told him that he should upgrade his system where all new offices are already adopting. Employees are no longer tracked using spreadsheets or punch cards because of computerised technology like TimeTrex, an open source payroll,
Time and Attendance management software.

I showed him the website of TimeTrex where we could view a demo of what the software could offer. This software is essentially web-based so employee tracking could be done online anywhere in the world. Besides, this new system will save a lot of man hours, resources and of course money for the company because everything is computerised.

Paul was very happy to know of this free software. He told me that he will implement it in his office as soon as possible and this will surely bring down his cost for the year.
