An employee typically scans the following information to start an operation: Operation Start, Employee Number, Work Order Number, Line Number, and Operation Number. During the Operation Stop sequence, the employee will automatically be prompted for Number of Pieces Completed, Scrapped, Held, etc. Automatic stops may be triggered by the start of the next operation sequence; likewise, automatic starts may be triggered by the stop of the previous operation sequence. Operators may be placed in several classifications, including batch, tooling, inspection, outside processing, etc. User prompts may be customized by operation.
Time and Attendance streamlines the collection and processing of employee work time. Errors are reduced, as is the possibility of fraud, while payroll hours are formatted for export to your payroll
system.
Data entry may be as simple as a clock-in and clock-out per shift. Paid breaks can be scheduled automatically, and calculated into the employee's time summary; unpaid breaks, such as lunches, are deducted from the hours worked balance. All transactions are applied to the standard shift/department schedule(s) defined for your facility. If an employee's time deviates (including tardies and absences) from this schedule, an exception notice is generated for the supervisor to review during the time approval process. The supervisor can then accept or correct the exception, and once approved, the employee's elapsed time is available for the payroll update (several major payroll interfaces are supported).
Once the shift has begun, the supervisor can query the system to see if all scheduled employees are clocked in for the day. An Override Schedule may be constructed to replace the standard schedule for a user-defined period of time, to accommodate plant shutdowns, set-up, or overtime. Overtime is calculated on either a daily or weekly basis, and is subject to the same supervisor approvals. The holiday calendar sets up your paid holiday schedule for the year. Holiday time is automatically added to an employee's hours if the employee's holiday pay requirements have been met.
Vacation, personal, sick time or other future leave requests may be entered into the shift/department schedule for the current day or any future date(s). These times will also accrue for each employee based on defined accrual rates. Employee balances are adjusted when the hours are approved during the corresponding shift period, via the standard supervisor approval process. |
