Automate Time and Attendance to
Ensure FLSA compliance

In the last several years, lawsuits were filed against school districts in several states requesting that school systems pay unpaid overtime, plus damages, attorney’s fees, and court costs. The workers cited the Fair Labor Standards Act, which puts the burden of proof on employers to keep accurate records of hours worked for nonexempt employees. Overtime must be paid for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. In previous cases, paper time sheets were ruled to be an inaccurate method of tracking employee attendance and hours worked. Gorrie-Regan can help reduce the risk of lawsuits by ensuring FLSA compliance.

A second and equally important benefit is improved efficiency and accuracy. Our systems can help to minimize the labor expense of using inefficient paper time sheets by automatically calculating hours, and by notifying managers at each school of exceptions and leave requests on a daily basis. Some of our customers have seen a drastic reduction in time spent to compute payroll. These reductions have saved not only hours, but days.

Our systems give educators business benefits such as:

• Web-based access distributes relevant information to all levels of management
• Multiple data collection options ranging from PC Entry to the latest in biometrics
• Flexible rules calculations for accrued time-off hours, overtime, shift pay and annualized pay contracts
• Parameter-driven software to comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act
• Scheduling, data collection, reporting and time card calculations by school, department or enterprise-wide

Our experience and credibility has helped over 20 school boards to select Gorrie-Regan as their time and attendance expert. We have successfully installed our software based systems in school systems ranging from 100 to 6,000 employees.
