Time Tracking Doesn’t Hold A Price Tag
You’ve heard the Mastercard commercial, haven’t you? Awarded a huge government contract to make it through the slow season, just hired college grad top of his class, trying out a web-based, cloud-computing, mobile time tracker, PRICELESS.
What? You haven’t heard that one? Me neither. It’s hypothetical but not far from the truth. At least the “priceless” part isn’t. You see, an automated time tracker will facilitate that government contract in such a way that even their regulations won’t be impossible. And that new employee, well, he’ll find the time tracker easy to learn and invaluable (synonymous with priceless) to meet all those regs.
When it comes to federal government contractors meeting the requirements of the DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency), you will need an experienced, savvy, knowledgeable company that helps guard against DCAA audits and provides you with efficient, thorough, easy to use time management. You need a web-based time tracking company you can trust.
You need a company that tracks hours, manages time, performs billings, yet satisfies DCAA requirements and protects against DCAA audits. Gone are the days of massive paper trails. Mobile time tracking software offers a cost-effective solution with iPhone, Android, GPS-stamping, and other mobile capabilities designed to help contractors stay DCAA compliant. With time tracking apps, time can be tracked against specific projects or job codes, and an online audit trail exists for daily time entries, as well as for corrections, approvals, and adjustments. Immediate and flexible reporting is also an essential feature, especially in the case of an audit.
“Most timekeeping companies offer expensive and complicated modules to be DCAA compliant, but that really only complicates the day-to-day tracking, management, and reporting it takes to protect against audits in the real world,” according to Mike McNew, head of McNew and Associates, a government contracts management and compliance consulting firm. He goes on to state that you need a point-and-click easy for supervisors and employees to use and understand, while providing the pinpoint accuracy, record keeping detail and audit trail the government requires.
Your time tracking program should safeguard your reports, your time entries, your job codes, your custom fields, your employees, your clients, and yourself. Daily backup is a must. So is safe and secure storage. And what good will this program be if it’s complicated and not user-friendly. Look for a reputable company that offers things like high user satisfaction rating, 24/7/365 day customer support who will integrate their software with yours and train everyone on its use. You don’t have to mess with contracts. And be sure the monthly cost is reasonable and in line with services rendered. Which in all honesty will prove worth its weight in gold.
With time tracking technology, you can track and manage everyone from employees’ to supervisors’ time even when they’re in the field or on the go. The technology is there to see where everyone is in real time. It’s a 21st century thing. Get innovative, be opportunistic, step ahead of the crowd. Utilize the great benefits of time tracking to set your company apart from the others. PRICELESS, don’t you agree?
