Advanced Scheduling

Our powerful Advanced Scheduling option is integrated with TimeForce II, providing an easy to use tool for supervisors to quickly build shifts and schedules for their employees. Advanced Scheduling makes it possible to schedule your employees from any computer with an Internet browser, giving you unparalleled scheduling flexibility and power. You can set up an unlimited number of custom schedules, create a schedule for each of your locations or departments, as well as create schedules by position or shift. To switch schedules, just select the name of the schedule you wish to view. Managers and employees can view and print schedules online, which makes communicating work schedules easier and saves you time.

Advanced Scheduling makes it easy to maintain specific staffing requirements. Do you need to know how many people or hours you have scheduled by position, shift or department? Enter your staffing requirements and instantly see whether you have too few or too many employees scheduled. When employees call in sick or go on vacation, see how it affects your coverage. Finally, Advanced Scheduling has a wide assortment of scheduling reports. Print reports by employee, schedules or departments. The Advanced Scheduling option is available with TimeForce II in a hosted (SaaS) environment only.

Self Service

With the TimeForce II Self Service option, employees can handle their own HR-related administrative tasks from work, home, or on the road. This allows the HR, payroll, and benefits staff to focus on more strategic duties. Employees can have limited and controlled access to a significant amount of information, such as accruals, time entries, shift/schedule, and demographic information—all in one place. In addition, you can grant your employees the ability to clock in and out via the Self Service feature, submit leave requests to supervisors and receive supervisor's response, and/or submit updates to their personal information. You also have the option to restrict self service punch creation for your employees to specific IP addresses or range of IP addresses. You can also use the Verification Option so that supervisors are required to log into TimeForce II and verify that the hours and earnings totals for their subordinates are correct prior to your payroll department processing payroll. This can dramatically cut down on your payroll administrator's time to produce payroll. No more last minute error correction or tracking down individual employees.

Job Costing Module

By adding the Job Costing module to TimeForce II, you will immediately be able to identify labor costs attributed to projects by employee, department, quantities produced, and task-type. You will no longer have to get your employees to recall how many hours they worked on a project or have your accounting staff try to track down receipts and invoices. From simple job tracking situations to extremely complex requirements (multiple jobs, tasks, schedules, departments, accounts, unit analysis), the TimeForce II Job Costing module provides an affordable way to maximize your labor resources. See a clear picture of actual vs. projected time, actual vs. projected cost, and more. Gain the information and ability to truly understand productivity and profitability on a project-by-project basis, and use that knowledge to directly affect your bottom line. With the Job Costing module, employees simply record job in/ out entries via the clock keypad or optional bar code wand/gun. A task database is created and multiple tasks assign to a job quickly, eliminating the need for repetitive data entry. Requires IQ400, IQ500, V850, IQ1000, NetClock or Self Service.
