Digital transformations have widely penetrated and changed how businesses operate and handle their workforces today.
Many have taken the leap to automate their payroll and attendance systems, however there are businesses who are still quite hesitant and resistant to opportunities of revolutionizing their management.
This blog article will discuss the reasons why businesses resist this digital transition, choosing to stick with traditional manual time-keeping ways.
Why Businesses Resist and How Fareclock Resolves Resistance
High Onboarding Cost
Automated systems or softwares usually require onboarding costs that may scare away clients due to possible product mismatch and unwanted upfront financial commitment. With Fareclock, there are no hidden onboarding charges to start!
Check out our plans designed to meet your different requirements and number of users here.
Lack of Technical Expertise & Training
An unfamiliar system may be intimidating to learn at first, but with Fareclock, an IT experience or a technical team is not a prerequisite to navigate through.
Fareclock’s 24/7 chat support, YouTube video tutorials, and help center make learning the ins and outs of the console and the mobile app easier and more efficient for both administrators and workers.
Customization Challenges
Businesses have different requirements, policies, and structures that do not easily fit into the default settings of automated systems. This forces attendance softwares to adopt functionalities that allow customizable attendance and payroll settings and reports.
Fareclock is built with Advanced Attendance settings, Custom Pay Code rules, Pay Periods, Customizable Reports, and other advanced features that allow businesses to set up their account according to their requirements.

Data Security Concerns
Businesses are now increasingly reliant on technology, compelling employers to take stronger precautions on security and data protection against cybersecurity risks, data breaches, and unauthorized access to employee information.
Fareclock responds to this by leveraging Google Cloud’s data backup services, conducting penetration testing through a third-party client via Black Duck, and implementing advanced login features that ensure more secure account access than ever before.

Reliance on Manual Processes
Some businesses feel they are more in control with data records when using manual processes than adopting automated systems.
With Fareclock, data override and manual adjustment options are available so businesses can strike a balance between automation and oversight. This allows correction without micromanagement, ensuring a seamless, convenient, and accurate record of clock logs, missed punches, and special approvals.
Fareclock’s audit log feature also meticulously records and tracks changes done on users and reports – maintaining both transparency and flexibility that businesses rely on.
Fear of Job Redundancy
HR and finance teams may resist automation in fear that it could diminish their roles or eliminate jobs.
However, Fareclock is a role-based access control platform where account owners, administrators, and workers are assigned to different permissions, empowering teamwork and delegation instead of replacing work.

In dynamic workforce settings, such systems would allow an HR or finance staff to review and approve attendance before payroll processing, a manager to create and modify shifts, or a worker to view personal attendance records and payslips. This structured approach delivers efficiency while maintaining clear role distinctions within the organization.
The Leap from Manual Processes to Fareclock
Transitioning to attendance and payroll automation is not just a digital transformation and investment, but a first step towards commitment to fairness, accuracy, and integrity in the workplace.
Buddy punching, financial fraud, and payroll malpractices – all of these can be significantly reduced with Fareclock, enforcing a more transparent and accountable workplace.
