There are numerous apps available that small business owners can leverage to reduce the time allocated to managing employees and generally increase efficiency.

Labor Time Tracker is a great replacement for physical time sheets.  It is an app that costs $4.95 a month for each employee and they punch their hours on virtual cards. It helps you to effortlessly see who is out and who is working, as well as easily track overtime.

Trello

Trello is one of many organization apps created to keep business owners on task, but Trello does differ in one crucial way: It lets business owners add employees and contractors to their various to-do lists. This way, everyone in a company can see these lists and keep track of what should be done throughout the day. Trello also lets business owners delegate tasks to their employees and send them messages related to the business’s various to-do lists.
