Podcasts about time tracking

This Podcast Is Episode 628, And It's About Efficient Payroll Implementation For Construction Business Owners mplementing an effective payroll system is crucial for construction business owners, as it directly impacts project management, employee satisfaction, and overall financial health. Given the complexities of the construction industry, including varying pay rates, overtime requirements, and the need for certified payroll reports, developing a streamlined payroll process is essential.    Here are some steps to consider:   1. Determine Payroll Needs: Assess the size of your workforce (hourly vs. salaried employees). Identify the types of workers (e.g., subcontractors, full-time employees) and ensure your payroll system can handle various pay rates and classifications.   2. Choose the Right Payroll Software: Look for software that caters to the construction industry's needs, including support for job costing, lien waivers, and compliance with prevailing wage laws. Ensure it has features for tracking time worked, overtime, and benefits. 3. Set Up Employee Information:  Gather necessary documentation for all employees, including W-4 forms, identification, and relevant licenses.  Enter employee data into the payroll system, including their pay rates, tax information, and benefits enrollment. 4. Establish a Time Tracking System: Implement a reliable method for tracking hours worked. This can be done via paper timesheets, digital time clocks, or mobile apps. Ensure the method complies with labor regulations regarding work hours and overtime.   5. Understand Payroll Tax Obligations:  Familiarize yourself with federal, state, and local payroll taxes, including Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment.  Set up an account with the IRS and pay estimated taxes regularly to avoid penalties.   6. Communicate with Your Team: Educate your employees about how the payroll system works, including how to report hours worked and any deductions they may see. Keep an open line of communication for any payroll-related questions or concerns.   7. Run Payroll: Determine a payroll schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) that best suits your business needs. Process payroll on time, ensuring accurate calculations for hours worked, overtime, and deductions.   8. Maintain Compliance: Stay updated with labor laws and regulations specific to the construction industry to avoid compliance issues. Keep records of payroll transactions and employee information for audit purposes.   9. Review and Adjust: Regularly review your payroll processes for efficiency and accuracy. Make adjustments as needed to enhance effectiveness and address any emerging issues. Consider soliciting employee feedback about the payroll process to identify any areas for improvement.   By following these steps, construction contractor business owners can implement a payroll system that meets their operational needs and effectively supports their workforce.    Now, what if you already have a system in place? Upgrading or changing your payroll system offers numerous significant benefits. Saving time and money, making everyone's lives easier, and improving integration are good reasons to consider a change.   But if the switch is mishandled, the results can be catastrophic and lead to long-lasting problems. So, please make sure that you allocate the project the time it requires. While some people may indeed enjoy coming to work, earning money is the main reason most people seek employment. Our jobs make the world go round, supporting us and our families so that we can afford everything else in life.   Not receiving payment correctly is a significant issue for your crew. As a construction business owner, you want to ensure your employees are paid sufficiently and on time. This protects your business and their happiness.   Changing payroll systems is a huge undertaking. Many moving parts and people will be affected. Ensure that this project receives the time and attention it deserves. Determine what will be necessary to make the transition, understand who it affects, and communicate with everyone involved. The planning process is critical. Treat it as the foundation to making the switch, and the rest will fall into place.   The primary motivation for implementing a new payroll system is to simplify processes. Yet, many construction businesses overlook how their new technology can help. It's easy to lean on old methods for getting things done because they're familiar, but that would be a mistake when switching to a new payroll system.   Ensure you are familiar with and understand the features of your new platform. The real-time, monetary, and energy savings will be realized here. Automate anything you can. When these tools prove their worth, your team will understand the rationale behind the switch.   That is why we're here.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! All April long, I'm sitting down with amazing guest experts to bring you insight, encouragement, and practical tools for your school counseling practice. Today's guest is the incredible Patti Hoelzle from Rooted Well, and we're talking all about something many counselors shy away from… data. But don't worry—Patti breaks it down in a way that's simple, empowering, and exciting! Patti Hoelzle is the owner of Rooted WELL and a National Board Certified School Counselor with a passion for building proactive, equitable systems of student support. She trains and consults on mindfulness in schools, trauma-informed practices, tiered interventions, and PBIS, working with educators and families nationwide. A sought-after speaker, Patti has presented at local and national conferences and teaches as an adjunct professor in a school counseling graduate program. Previously, she led social-emotional learning and MTSS efforts in a school district and has spent 18 years dedicated to being a professional school counselor. Recognized as Washington's 2021 School Counselor Advocate of the Year, Patti is dedicated to ensuring every student gets the whole-child support they deserve. Why Data Matters in School Counseling School counselors are in a unique position—we have to do the job, prove our impact, and often justify our position for the following school year. The good news? Data can do all three. Using data allows you to: Advocate for your role and time Communicate impact to stakeholders, families, and administration Support budget decisions and staffing Build confidence in your work Time Tracking as a Starting Point Patti recommends starting with one of the simplest tools: a time tracker. She's created an Excel spreadsheet workbook that allows counselors to track: Time spent on individual students Tasks completed throughout the day Graphs and charts that automatically populate from your entries This is perfect for sharing with admin, staying accountable, and noticing patterns in how your time is spent. You can find this resource in Patti's Teachers Pay Teachers store (linked in the show notes below). Using Google Tools for Easy Data Collection Another strategy Patti loves: Google Forms + the Google Suite. These tools are powerful for: Progress monitoring Sending surveys to students, teachers, and caregivers Collecting ongoing data during small groups Tracking changes in student behavior or academic progress And bonus—sending forms to caregivers via email often leads to higher participation rates than paper handouts. Advice for New Counselors Start small. Patti suggests: Begin with tracking your time, since it's something you're already doing Add in pre/post assessments once you're in the groove Use tools that already exist—no need to reinvent the wheel A Mindset Shift: The Slow Cooker Analogy “Our work is like a slow cooker, not a microwave.” Counselors often wish for a quick fix, but real change takes time. Don't be discouraged if you don't see growth right away. If your data isn't showing growth: Don't take it personally—there are many factors at play Use it as a learning opportunity Be willing to adapt and try new approaches Track student growth over time, especially with Tier 2 or Tier 3 students This conversation was such a great reminder that data doesn't have to be intimidating—it can actually empower us to better serve our students and advocate for ourselves. You can connect with Patti and find her time tracker and other amazing resources linked below in the show notes.

Brian Thompson chats with Conrad Ruiz, the founder and CEO of Well Aware, a company dedicated to helping business owners reclaim their time. With a background in biomedical engineering and consulting, Conrad blends technical insight with an entrepreneurial spirit to help business owners simplify complex operations and master time management. He shares his personal journey into entrepreneurship, which started with a medical crisis, and offers practical advice on creating efficient systems and finding balance in business. Episode Highlights Mission-driven businesses start with why. For Conrad, a mission-driven business emphasizes the "why" behind the work. Once a business has a clear sense of its “why,” it can use its resources — time, money, and systems — toward fulfilling that mission. “Being a mission-driven business is recognizing wholeheartedly why you're doing what you're doing and what that impact is for,” Conrad said. Your why is your compass. Conrad explained that having a clear “why” is like having a compass to direct a business's decisions and actions. By staying focused on the mission, entrepreneurs can avoid distractions and stay aligned on their goals. “The why is the compass north,” Conrad said. “If you find yourself going in a million different directions, you're ultimately going nowhere.” Buy back your time. Conrad's business, Well Aware, helps very busy people buy back their time. He encouraged business owners to invest in affordable solutions, such as virtual assistants or scalable systems, to free up time. “We decide with them how they want to approach this mercantile equation of money versus time,” Conrad said. “Let's go ahead and make the equations easy.” Audit your time in 3 key areas. One of Conrad's key recommendations is to perform a time audit to identify where your time is truly spent. He suggests looking at three key initiatives: time spent marketing, time spent selling, and time spent delivering services. Once you see those three, then you can look at how finance (money) and administration (time) unpin them. “I love auditing on the basis of time,” Conrad said. “There's a three-legged stool of marketing, sales, and service delivery, and from there, the underpinnings are finance and administration.” Resources + Links Conrad Ruiz: LinkedIn Well Aware: Website, LinkedIn  Brian Thompson Financial: Website, Newsletter, Podcast Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast  Brian Thompson, JD/CFP, is a tax attorney and Certified Financial Planner® who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.
