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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
