Sound Familiar?

Challenges you might be facing

Paper sign-in sheets and manual attendance tracking for hourly shift workers create data entry errors and payroll disputes every pay period

OSHA safety training certifications are tracked in spreadsheets — expired certifications go unnoticed until an audit or incident occurs

Seasonal demand creates workforce fluctuations: hiring 50 temporary workers in Q4 and offboarding them in Q1 overwhelms manual HR processes

Overtime calculations across daily, weekly, and state-specific thresholds are complex and frequently miscalculated, leading to compliance fines

Workers across multiple facilities have different shift patterns, pay rates, and union agreements that can't be modeled in a single system

PPE, tools, and equipment issued to employees aren't tracked — lost assets go unnoticed until inventory audits reveal shortages

The FriendHRM Advantage

How we solve this for you

Clock-In / Clock-Out System

Web-based, mobile, and hardware-compatible time clocks for factory floor workers. Biometric-ready, with photo verification and GPS validation for field workers.

Safety Training & OSHA Compliance

Assign mandatory safety courses (lockout/tagout, hazard communication, forklift certification) via the LMS. Track completion rates with automated renewal reminders.

Intelligent Overtime Management

Auto-detect daily and weekly overtime based on configurable thresholds per location or union agreement. Support for double-time, holiday premiums, and rest-break compliance.

Seasonal Hiring at Speed

Streamlined onboarding templates for temporary and seasonal workers. Pre-built checklists for safety orientation, equipment issuance, and payroll enrollment.

Geofenced Attendance Validation

Ensure clock-ins happen at approved worksites with GPS geofencing. Prevent buddy-punching and remote time fraud with location verification.

Equipment & Asset Tracking

Track PPE, tools, uniforms, and safety equipment assigned to each employee. Auto-flag outstanding items during offboarding for recovery.

"We eliminated 12 hours per week of manual timesheet reconciliation. The geofencing feature stopped buddy-punching at our warehouse sites overnight."
