Guarantee Rules

This rule allows you to guarantee employees a certain number of hours, either per shift, per day or per week.

Hardware Options

The system is compatible with various external data collection terminals.

Historical Data

System design removes the need to “archive” information. Current and historical data is available with a single query.

Holidays

Holiday rules allow the system to determine whether an employee is eligible for holiday pay, and also pay premium for any hours worked on a holiday.

Job Costing

The system provides three labor buckets. Under each bucket an unlimited list can be created. Cost centers are non-relational and are independent lists.

Open Architecture

Accommodates complicated pay rules. Settings can also be easily disabled to simplify usage.

Overtime

Pay Rules

The system allows you to configure up to five employee types that follow different sets of rules from the standard rules engine (i.e. hourly, salaried, union, non-union, temp, etc.).

Pay Categories

The system provides 30 pay categories that may be edited (i.e. 10 work, 10 time off, 10 extra pay).

Rounding

Allows punches or total time to be rounded based on a company's needs.

Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF)

Facility where your data is stored. One of the only commercially available data centers built to the Department of Defense (DOD) standards.

Shifts

Software Utility

An easy-to-use software utility seamlessly exchanges data with other systems such as payroll, HRIS and ERP without the need for technical resources.

System Backup

Redundant data storage and frequent offsite system backups ensure your data is not lost in the event of an emergency.

Time Collection Overview

Shows exceptions such as the number of missed punches.

Time Zones

The system allows for one global time zone or for a time zone to be individually assigned.
