Timestandard® is the answer to your time and attendance problems, now and in the future. It incorporates ALL the known current shift mapping options, shift setup options, break options, pay-periods grace and roundings in use today, that you may not need now, but may need in the future. Timestandard® is part of a modular system of software driven components designed to help you to cope with the demands of your payroll using proven, reliable data collection methods.

Time Systems® (UK) Ltd has developed the Timestandard® system based on many years of experience and has been designed specifically because no two business' have the same working rules and their rules change as they evolve. Moreover, your working patterns and rules may change tomorrow and would you really want to change your time recording system because your current system could not cope with them?

Timestandard® has evolved as a result of the detailed examination of requirements like yours. Our systems are flexible enough to cope with hundreds of shift policies and parameters of the most demanding environment because most of the key identifiers used are user defined. Timestandard® can apply the most difficult of shift parameters and makes the calculation of time cards in seconds instead of days. Time spent producing and calculating time cards will be reduced dramatically so it will also save you valuable overhead expense. As employee remuneration is by far your greatest overhead Timestandard® will help you keep that vital control that you would expect from systems costing many times more. It will also store that information for as long as you want - and is instantly accessible so you can call up data on attendance, sickness, holidays and lateness reports at any time to monitor performance and highlight trends. The most important point is that whilst some companies will supply you with a product that will handle your current requirements for today - it may become obsolete the moment you enforce a new pay scheme or innocently change your shifts or patterns. Timestandard® has be written to hopefully handle your changes so it cope as you evolve or grow.

If an employee arrives late you may wish to report lateness in red or bold black for the time card and appear on lateness reports.

Timestandard® supports lateness for every minute of the day and can round forward lateness (deduct time) accordingly.(See roundings below)

I.e. Any employee who clocks in later than 08.03 - report this on their timecard in red ink to make them aware and also make this clocking appear on lateness reports.

General
Rounding and Grace is a feature of Timestandard® that allows employees to arrive or depart within limits you can define (grace) before their time is penalised (rounding). It can be used in many ways - see some examples below.

Lateness
In addition to lateness reporting you can also penalise employees for lateness by rounding the time forward because they arrived after the grace period allowed (i.e. Late). I.e. If late more than 3 minutes (grace) deduct 15 minutes (rounding). Timestandard® supports all grace and rounding options (user definable and selectable).

i.e. Any employee who clocks after 8.03 then round their time to 8.15, so 8.04 will calculate from 8.15.

Early departure
Timestandard® can be programmed to deduct time for those who depart early. i.e. if and employee should work to 17.00 but clocks out at 16.50 this time can be rounded back as far as 16.00, although in most cases it is rounded to 16.45.

Minimum overtime
If you wish to pay overtime after a certain time - but subject to a minimum amount Timestandard® has a feature for to help you cope with this. The shift ends at 17.00, if employees work overtime they get paid at a different rate, but must work at least 30 minutes overtime to qualify. (This is so that those leaving the building late and not actually working overtime do not get paid for it.)

I.e. If an employee clocks out at 17.29 his time will be rounded back to 17.00 but if he works to 17.30 he will be accumulated that 30 minutes overtime.

You can restrict the amount of overtime an employee may accumulate and qualify overtime worked subject to varying criteria in cases where it is applicable.

Restrict by

Timeband - by turning off overtime pay at any time

Putting excess overtime into another pay rate (i.e. Normal pay rate)

i.e. If normal rate is less than 40 hours and overtime rate 9 (your special midnight shift overtime for working after 5.00pm) has a balance of say 25 hours - and the employee is not entitled to that overtime unless 40 hours are worked at normal rate Timestandard® can automatically move those excess overtime hours into normal rate until it reaches 40 hours - reducing the balance of overtime rate 9 - or put the balance into overtime rate 1 (for breaking the rules)

Qualify by

Targeting - this allows you to manipulate overtime subject to your rules (for each employee) to stop them gaining overtime only to have days off sick etc.

i.e. Pay overtime rate 6 (qualified rate) on Saturday between 8.00 am and 12.00 pm - but only if
they do 8 hours at normal rate on Monday next (because your pay period runs Tuesday to Monday)
and work at least 4 hours overtime rate 4 and (this is the rate for weekly overtime during Monday to Thursday)
and work at least 4 hours overtime rate 5 or (this is the rate for overtime on Friday)
and if not done them make calculate pay on Saturday at overtime rate 2 only (unqualified overtime rate).

Timestandard® allows you to 'post' transactions and use ISS (interactive shift selection) to enable you to manipulate all data to help you get the right results first time.

ISS - Ideal for situations where employees can work any shift they choose- without you knowing beforehand - they can use ISS and when they clock they select the shift they are working, by selecting it at the terminal. This gives you greater freedom to let the system maintain itself. This shift selection can be allowed or refused further in the software.

Posting - this is a system that you can use to 'mark' clockings made by an employee against the shift that you have programmed for that employee.

Editing - at any time after that you may return to those transactions and alter the posted shift number worked to another shift number. Ideal where employees cannot be trusted to use ISS or where you are informed too late that their shift had been changed for a particular day in a rotating shift pattern. (Changing the pattern may take 15 minutes to cope with this, amending the posting will take seconds). Always great when you are under pressure to complete payroll payments to employees. You may also edit the time, date, type of transaction, employee if they need adjusting.

Adding - you can add transactions singly or in multiple to one or your selection of employees.

Deleting - you can delete transactions singly or in multiple from one or your selection of employees.

Media suitability

We always recommend bar-coded media and proximity media. Almost every product we buy in the shops has bar code attached to identify it and proximity cannot be interfered with. Almost everyone every understands how it works and this has come about as from its universal existence and use in the retail industry. We believe it is reliable and sound and find users get no corruption queries unlike magnetic stripe.

Magnetic stripe is also sound and reliable - but can be corrupted by those determined enough; it will show no sign of abuse and may cause operational conflict for the user and client.

PIN numbers - suitable as most people can remember them and they can be easily keyed in.

However you may choose from any of these combinations.

If you currently use an access control or vending system that uses PROX badges, you could add bar-code to this for use in Timestandard. This would result in one card for both systems. More convenient than two cards.
