Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Workforce.com's point system independently from its time and attendance module?

Not really; the process would be entirely manual, defeating the purpose of even using software in the first place. Workforce.com's point system requires employee time clock data in order to automatically recorgnize when someone is late, early, or a no-show. So, to make the most of the points tool, you'll need to use Workforce.com's full time and attendance system, to track employee hours and time punches.

What is an attendance point system?

An attendance point system is an attendance policy that penalizes hourly staff with points every time they arrive late to a shift, leave a shift early, or do not show up for a shift at all. Accruing a set number of points results in disciplinary action, and with enough points, termination.

How do I automate an attendance point system?

This is typically done using web-based time and attendance software. Employees can clock in and out via a mobile app or kiosk app, and points are assigned based on deviations from scheduled shift times. Managers can then view all point records online and enforce disciplinary policy as they see fit.

Can small businesses use an attendance point system?

While points-based attendance is typically used by larger organizations with 200+ staff, small businesses can certainly utilize it if they feel it will increase accountability and reduce absenteeism.

What are the benefits of attendance point software?

Automated point systems primarily help you reduce absenteeism by improving accountability, transparency, and fairness. Why is this important? Because persistent no-shows and call-outs can put your business in understaffed situations, harming both productivity and customer satisfaction. Perfect attendance means proper staffing, higher revenue, and fewer wasted costs on unreliable labor.

How does an attendance point system improve efficiency?

An attendance point system helps managers track absenteeism and tardiness. When configured through Workforce.com, it helps reduce administrative work and ensures the policy is applied fairly.

What industries benefit most from an attendance point system?

Businesses with hourly or shift-based staff benefit from a structured attendance points policy. Restaurants, retail, hospitality, manufacturing, logistics, and call centers often use point systems to boost accountability and better time and attendance management.

How quickly can I implement an attendance point system?
