Frequently asked questions

What is employee management software for manufacturing?

Employee management software for manufacturing helps businesses record employee hours, manage timesheets and allocate labour costs to production jobs. When these tools are integrated with manufacturing ERP software, time recorded by employees can be connected directly with job costing, production and payroll information. This gives manufacturers a more accurate understanding of how labour is being used and how employee costs affect the profitability of each job.

How does employee time tracking improve manufacturing job costing?

Employee time tracking shows how many hours are spent on each job, operation or activity. Genius ERP connects these recorded hours with the appropriate labour rates and employment costs, allowing manufacturers to compare estimated labour with actual results. Accurate time information helps ensure that labour is included in the full cost of a job, making it easier to identify overruns, evaluate profitability and prepare more accurate estimates for future work.

How can manufacturers track employee time on the production floor?

Manufacturers can collect employee time using barcode scanners, touchscreen terminals or mobile devices. Employees record when they begin and finish work on a job or activity, allowing production hours to be captured as work is completed. Supervisors can then review and approve timesheets before the information is used for payroll and job costing. This reduces reliance on paper timesheets and gives managers more timely visibility of labour use.

Can manufacturing employee management software integrate with payroll?

Yes. Manufacturing employee management software can collect and organise employee hours before exporting the information to an external payroll system. Connecting time tracking with payroll reduces duplicate data entry and helps ensure that approved hours are used consistently. Genius ERP can also allocate employee hours and associated labour costs to production jobs, giving manufacturers detailed job cost information while allowing them to continue using their external payroll system.

Can manufacturers track time and expenses for field-based employees?

Yes. Mobile time entry allows employees to record hours when working at customer sites, in the field or away from the main facility. Employees can also submit job-related expenses so that both labour and additional costs are assigned to the correct project. Supervisors can review and approve this information, helping manufacturers maintain accurate records and calculate the full cost of field work.
