Overview  

 Capture Time

The first and most basic function of the system is to accurately capture time worked. This data is obtained through two primary methods:

  • Clock Kiosk: A centralized kiosk that gives you the option to use barcode scanners, proximity card readers, etc. The Employee Web Portal or Web Clock allows employees to clock in at their own workstations.
  • Electronic Timesheet: Autopopulating timesheets are based on the expected working schedule.  Time can also be manually entered into the timesheet.
 

 Calculate and Classify Time

This is where we add "smarts" to the time captured. Built to handle the unique rules of K-12 educational systems, Time & Attendance allows you to set up and manage payroll rules based on labor contracts and district policies. Different rules and pay rates are then automatically applied to different employee classifications including comp time, shift differentials, and exception pay.

 

 Manage Schedules

Set up and adjust work schedules for your employees, including automatically-applied unpaid breaks. The schedule pulls in absence data from the Absence Management system and district-wide events from a master calendar, giving you a more complete picture of time.

 

 Approve Time

See all user time in one place, including leave from the Absence Management system. Review both paid and unpaid time, make adjustments, and easily approve or reject time.

 

 Report on Time

Knowledge is power! Pre-built reporting tools better inform employee management decisions. Custom reporting through the Report Writer tool gives you the ability to track labor expenditures, increase employee accountability, and improve labor law compliance.

 

 Transfer Time to Payroll

Time & Attendance provides tools to help you get employee time into payroll quickly and accurately. The Payroll Lock will notify you of outstanding issues and you can use Report Writer to pull extract reports for payroll.
