Time & Attendance Module

The main functions of this module are to perform employee time management with scheduling reconciliation and enforce union or complex pay policies. This allows an organization to better analyze and control labour costs, staff distribution, validation, and time approval.

The time and attendance module provides services to communicate with popular payroll and personnel systems including Kronos® and ADP®, as well as client-developed and third party service providers, to distribute the information in a secure manner for timekeeper entry and supervisor approval.

A significant benefit to this module is the ability it gives to the customer to predict costs of schedules generated using different preference settings, options and rules.

Schedule-HR tracks every minute each staff member has recorded under each of your organization's working and paid leave of absence activity codes. Once staffing for a day is complete, users with the appropriate authority level can approve the scheduled shifts. This approval confirms that the data is accurate and reflects the days' exact staffing.

The Time & Attendance "Post" feature will apply all of the companies' special policies for overtime, paid activities, shift premiums or whatever special rule the customer wishes to apply with a user defined activity code.
