Challenge

The Township of Brick is located in Ocean County, New Jersey, and is one of the largest municipalities in the state. As government offices grow, keeping track of employee time and attendance with a manual paper-based system becomes more challenging and costly. The municipal government needed a better way to manage a large workforce with flexible time arrangements.

 

What the Township of Brick required was a solution that could:

  • Automate and streamline timekeeping and payroll processing processes
  • Maximize operational budgets by accurately tracking labor activities
  • Ensure compliance with FLSA and FMLA regulations across entire workforce
  • Enable employees to access their leave history and clock in remotely

Solutions

An automated Mitrefinch workforce management system in the cloud streamlines Township of Brick’s processes and provides real-time workforce data to support informed decision making, increase employee productivity and better manage labor costs.

Using Mitrefinch Time and Attendance Software enables the municipality to monitor employees falling under hourly, salary, and union wages, ensuring full FMLA/FLSA compliance. Automatic updates mean the organization is always operating according to the most recent regulations. Furthermore Mitrefinch Employee self-service software makes flexible work arrangements possible for Township of Brick by enabling employees to manage their own time and attendance directly through the system.

Employees can clock in from wherever they are working using the Employee Self-Service feature on laptops, smartphones, and other mobile devices. They can also use the system to check vacation and sick time, and to generate leave requests that are automatically emailed to managers for approval or denial.
