Time And Attendance

The Time & Attendance module directly links into the DATAHUB, Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) and the Accounting modules and hence allows management to view all staff attendance records.

Each member of staff is issued with a clocking in card, which is used to register an employee's arrival or departure at work. This record links directly to SFDC so if an employee is working on a long running job they do not need to clock onto the job as well through SFDC. Off-site labour recording is dealt with by the clocking system allowing working away also to be costed to jobs. The employee's swipe card is linked to sound files which acts as an audible warning to eliminate clocking errors. The Time & Attendance module can be purchased as a standalone program, but to get the full benefit it needs to used alongside other modules.

The primary function of the program is as a tool for the payroll department to see how many hours an employee has worked over a given period of time. It gives management the tools to monitor attendance levels (sickness / absence)and non-productive analysis.

The reports which are generated can be exported into various payroll programs which reduces clerical errors when processing wages/salaries.

Within a production environment the key advantage of this program is that it links directly into the Shop Floor Data Collection module which means time keeping is synchronised between the two programs. i.e. hours clocked = hours worked.

Running a modern business has several Health & Safety compliance issue and one of the key functions this program performs is the tracking of building occupancy for both employees and visitors.
