Time and Attendance Made Easy

Over the last few months, we have been improving all three of our hospitality and retail labor management products, including TimeForge Attendance.

TimeForge Attendance is a powerful time and attendance software system that for employee time cards and managing payroll.   Using TimeForge Attendance, staff members can clock in and out, managers can review employee time cards, and then management can approve time punches for third party payroll processing.

TimeForge Attendance can perform many other time management duties, including:

  • Tip tracking and mileage reporting
  • Record staff notes about each shift worked
  • Stop buddy punching with biometric fingerprint scanners
  • Interface attendance and time punches with your favorite Point of Sale system
  • Track time off, sick time, and PTO time for quick processing
  • Allow staff to check their time cards using the TimeForge employee portal

If you are using a standard time clock, or are having staff write their arrival, departure, and lunch breaks on a piece of paper, switching to TimeForge Attendance will save you hours of headaches each and every week!

Some of the recent improvements to TimeForge Attendance include:

  • Automatically switch positions if an employee is already clocked in. Staff members are occasionally responsible for working back-to-back shifts with different departments or positions.   For example, an employee might be scheduled from 10:00am , 2:00pm as a Cashier, but from 2:00pm , 6:00pm as a Delivery Driver.   To ensure that they remember to clock out as a Cashier, and in as a Delivery Driver, at 2:00pm, TimeForge can automatically do this for your staff members.   This feature can be configured on a per-location or per-department basis.

  • Clock out staff members at a specific time each day. To ensure that staff members are all clocked out by a certain time, you can set a department-level or location-level clock out time. For example, if your business closes at 11:00pm, and no one should be at work beyond 11:30pm, you can set TimeForge to automatically clock out all staff members at 11:30pm.   This feature can be configured on a per-location or per-department basis.

  • Automatically clock employees in based on their posted schedule. Sometimes staff members forget to clock in, even though they are scheduled to work and arrived on time. TimeForge can automatically clock staff members in based on the posted schedule, if they have not yet clocked in.   For example, if an employee is scheduled to work at 8:30am, TimeForge can automatically clock them into the system at 8:30am.   This feature can be configured on a per-location or per-department basis.

  • Receive an email message during the day showing which staff members are clocked in. If you’d like to know which employees are clocked in at your business during an important part of the day , before a dinner rush, just before closing, or after the first morning shift , you can!   Update your alerts and set the time you’d like to receive notification of who is clocked in.

  • Automatically clock employees out based on their posted schedule. Sometimes staff members forget to clock out at the end of the day.   TimeForge can automatically clock staff members out based on the posted schedule, if they have not yet clocked out.   For example, if an employee is scheduled to leave work at 8:30pm, TimeForge can automatically clock them out of the system at 8:30pm.   This feature can be configured on a per-location or per-department basis.

TimeForge Attendance Improvements

Many of TimeForge’s November and December updates included improvements to scheduling, enhanced multi-unit capabilities, additional Point of Sale capabilities, and new training videos.

We have also been hard at work on many improvements to TimeForge Attendance.   TimeForge Attendance is a labor management software tool that focuses on employee time cards and managing payroll expenses.   Employees can clock in and out using the system, managers can review staff timecards, and then managers can approve the employee time punches for third party payroll processing.

If you are using a standard time clock, or are having staff write their arrival, departure, and lunch breaks on a piece of paper, switching to TimeForge Attendance will save you hours of headaches each and every week!

Some of the most recent improvements to TimeForge Attendance include:

  • Several new TimeForge Attendance tutorials are online and available for your review! Don’t get lost or confused about how to edit time cards, modifying clock in parameters, or setting up IP addresses for restricting employee time punches.   Review the TimeForge Attendance manual (videos are coming soon), and read about all of these profit saving topics.
  • Quickly identify employee time punches and problematic time cards using the TimeForge Most Different notifications. As you process and approve / export payroll, TimeForge automatically identifies different (or strange) time punches, and ranks each shift based on how different the shift is from the other staff member time punches.   Managers and payroll supervisors can use the “Most Different” field to quickly identify potential problems before cutting checks for staff members.
  • Show the last person to edit or change time card data. All time card changes are recorded and can be viewed in the TimeForge Daily Log by qualified managers.   However, you can now easily review which manager (or supervisor) most recently modified any specific time card entry.   Reduce fraud and and identify compliance issues immediately.

  • Identify hours worked on the Clocked-In Employees page. You now have the choice to manage labor by scheduled or actual labor costs, or by the scheduled or actual labor hours while you are reviewing who is clocked in, or which staff members were previously clocked in during the business day.

  • Manage attendance and timecards by departments. When you have a large number of staff members, managing your labor can be complicated.   You can now browse and edit staff time sheets based on the department that you are interested in reviewing.
