Some things in life and pop culture alike are indeed timeless. Fans of the old Bugs Bunny cartoons from decades ago know this to be true, because watching some of those old episodes is still enough to make even the most uptight among us fall of the couch laughing on occasion. Take, for instance, the old cartoon with Sam the Sheepdog and Ralph the Coyote (a.k.a. “Wile E. Coyote”) reporting for work at a field full of sheep. Sam’s job is to guard the herd and Ralph’s job consequently is to attempt to abduct the herd. The episode begins and ends with them punching in and out of a time clock mechanically fastened to a tree, which reports their attendance. The punching serves as a double meaning here, whereas as soon as they “punch in”, Sam commences with “punching in” Ralph’s face… classic cartoon comedy.
So, animated punch clocks may be timeless in their comedic value. However, actual punch clocks time have come and gone to say the least. They served their purpose in the workplace of yesteryear… or in the storyboards of Warner Brothers studios anyway. But, in today’s more modern and technologically advanced working environment, the idea of an all-encompassing employee self service system, including the ability to clock in and out (notice the deliberate omission of the word “punch”), has replaced the old clocks. It has also added countless features and conveniences that employers and employees alike can enjoy and appreciate every day.
Ceequel is a web-based time and attendance reporting solution for employee self service that can save you and your organisation tremendously valuable time and money. It is a solution that is perfect for remote workers because it allows employees complete access to their own records via their own PC or other remote terminal. Options can be configured for this access to suit the individual needs of your organisation and workforce.
As an effective and technologically advanced employee self service system, Ceequel also allows employees to request holidays and absences more easily and conveniently without having to pick up the phone and contact their manager every time they need a day off. Most managers appreciate this ability as well, especially because they have full access to the same system and can quite easily track an employees time records this way. Both employees and managers also have access to valuable historical data as well.
Still not convinced that Ceequel is a better option than the harsh justice of Sam the Sheepdog’s “Punch Clock?” Well, click here to be taken to our product brochure download page, or feel free to contact us today at Elf Productivity Limited for more information. We would love to hear from you!
