Key features of TimeClock Plus time-tracking solution
This webinar introduces Time Clock Plus, a employee time tracking solution going over the platform’s capabilities for time tracking, scheduling, and payroll integration. TCP, established over 35 years ago in San Angelo, Texas, now serves more than 35,000 customers across various industries with a robust suite of time tracking and scheduling solutions designed to improve operational efficiency, maintain compliance, and boost productivity. The presenter demonstrated the multiple ways employees can clock in and out, including physical devices (such as wall-mounted clocks), mobile applications, kiosks, and a web-based clock interface. The process is straightforward: employees enter their ID, select the appropriate clock operation (clock in, clock out, break, or change job codes), and, if necessary, assign cost codes. Once recorded, employees can review their work hours, see detailed breakdowns (including regular and overtime hours), and manage their leave accruals and time-off requests directly via their dashboard. If an employee’s time-off request would result in a negative balance, the system prevents submission and notifies them accordingly. From a supervisory perspective, the system features a customizable dashboard that offers a high-level view of pending approvals, missing punches, and approaching overtime. Supervisors can review, edit, and approve employee hours, access an audit log to track changes, and run or automate a variety of detailed reports. The payroll integration is designed to be seamless with flat file exports compatible with over 800 payroll vendors, eliminating manual data entry. Additionally, TCP offers built-in scheduling features, enabling recurring schedules, one-time shifts, and even bulk schedule uploads via Excel. Advanced functionalities such as geofencing (via GPS or Wi-Fi) ensure employees clock in from approved locations. The session concluded with a Q&A, addressing common queries regarding geolocation, scheduling integrations, and negative balance notifications, and encouraged attendees to reach out or register for a full demo.

Addressing top staffing concerns of small to midsize healthcare practices
This webinar explored staffing and scheduling challenges faced by small to mid-sized healthcare practices, offering strategies to enhance efficiency, reduce burnout, and leverage technology for workforce management. Smaller healthcare practices struggle with limited resources, making it difficult to offer competitive salaries, benefits, and flexible scheduling. Unlike larger hospitals, they often lack advanced workforce management tools, leading to burnout, turnover, and inefficient workflows. Improper staffing can jeopardize patient safety, increase medical errors, and prolong wait times. Overworked staff experience higher stress and lower job satisfaction, fueling retention issues. Financially, poor staffing strategies drive up operational costs through overtime, increased readmissions, and administrative inefficiencies. Addressing these issues requires a structured approach that prioritizes workforce stability and efficiency. Best practices for managing staffing challenges include establishing appropriate staff-to-patient ratios, fostering a supportive work environment, and embedding leadership in care teams. Proactive leadership, hands-on involvement, and modern scheduling systems can improve morale and operational flow. Effective staffing technology allows practices to forecast demand, manage credentials, and automate scheduling, reducing administrative burdens and compliance risks. Investing in workforce management solutions provides tangible benefits, including improved retention, optimized labor costs, and enhanced patient care. Leadership must advocate for these tools by demonstrating their impact on efficiency, compliance, and long-term sustainability. As healthcare continues to evolve, leveraging technology-driven solutions will be essential for small and mid-sized practices to remain competitive and deliver high-quality care.

A leave management system is a tool or process that helps businesses handle employee time off efficiently.

Once approved, the system automatically updates the records, showing how many leave days have been used and how many are left. This system also helps businesses understand attendance trends, ensuring there are always enough staff on hand. It promotes fair leave distribution and makes workforce planning smoother by preventing scheduling conflicts and staffing shortages.
