Remote employee management software

Remote employee management software from invite to payroll.

Staffic is remote employee management software for managers whose people work from home or abroad. It keeps members and teams, tasks with estimates, attendance from tracked time, leave, and timesheets in each person’s own time zone in one place.

Remote management challenges

Managing people you rarely see in person.

Four problems that send managers looking for software to manage remote employees.

Employees and contractors paid differently

Some people earn a monthly salary, others an hourly rate, and a few get one-off payments. Each one needs hours someone has checked.

See step 5: Approve hours and pay everyone

How Staffic helps

How Staffic runs a remote team from one place.

Five steps, from inviting people to paying them. Each step links to the feature behind it.

Step 1 of 5

Invite people and group them into teams

Invite members by email into your organization, then group them into teams on Standard or Elite, each with its own projects. Team Chat, on every plan, keeps direct messages and project channels next to the work, so updates wait for people in other time zones.

Step 2 of 5

Assign work with estimates

Break each project into tasks with an estimate, a due date and assignees. The Workload view counts each member’s to-do, active and done tasks, so an overloaded person shows up before the deadline does.

Fixes: Workload you can’t see

Step 3 of 5

Attendance and leave without check-in messages

On Standard and Elite, Clock In/Out takes each person’s first and last tracked session of the day, so nobody punches a separate clock. Leave balances are on Standard and Elite; on Elite, members request leave in Staffic and you approve it from one list.

Fixes: Who is in today, who is off

Step 4 of 5

Read every week in the right time zone

Timesheets, screenshots and the apps and URLs pages can show the organization’s time zone or the member’s own. On Standard and Elite, the Time and Activity Report and the Performance report compare members over any dates, with time worked set against task estimates.

Fixes: Every day starts at a different hour

Step 5 of 5

Approve hours and pay everyone

On Elite, managers approve each person’s timesheet before payroll, and with approval on, Payroll counts approved time only. Payroll pays hourly rates, monthly salaries and one-off fixed payments, so employees and contractors sit in the same run.

Fixes: Employees and contractors paid differently

Staffic Members: active members with timesheet tracking switch, projects, monthly salary and pay rate

What is remote employee management software?

Remote employee management software is one place to run the people side of a remote team. It records who works for you, what they work on, when they worked and when they are off. Some vendors call it remote work management software. Staffic covers members and teams, tasks, attendance, leave and timesheets, with payroll on Elite and Team Chat on every plan.

What features should remote team management software include?

The features that replace what an office gives you for free: attendance, leave, time zones and a shared place for updates. Look for attendance taken from tracked time, leave requests, timesheets that show each person’s own time zone and a chat that keeps messages next to the work. When you compare remote team management tools, check that these sit in the same place as tasks and hours.

How do I manage remote employees across time zones?

Manage from records that follow each person’s day instead of waiting for everyone to be online together. Staffic timesheets and the apps and URLs pages switch between the organization’s time zone and the member’s own, and Team Chat holds messages until people start work. Keep a short daily overlap for calls and leave the rest to the record.

How do I measure remote team performance?

Compare time worked with what was planned. On Standard and Elite, Staffic’s Performance report sets each member’s time worked against their task estimates, and the Time and Activity Report adds activity levels for any project and dates. Use the numbers to start a conversation about workload, not as a score.

How do I keep remote employees accountable?

Give each person clear tasks with estimates and let the record show progress, instead of asking for status updates. In Staffic, the Workload view shows who holds which tasks, the desktop app logs time on each one, and on Elite you approve each timesheet before it reaches payroll.

Can I manage contractors and employees together?

Yes. Everyone joins your organization as a member, and on Elite, Payroll pays each person by hourly rate, monthly salary or a one-off fixed payment. Each member’s Payment Settings hold their pay rate, monthly salary and bill rate, so Staffic works as remote worker management software for both groups.

How much does remote team management software cost?

Staffic is free for up to 3 members. Standard is $5.50 per user per month billed yearly ($1.00 during the current offer), or $7.50 monthly, and Elite, which adds clients, invoices, payroll and screen recordings, is $5.80 billed yearly.
