Overview

User Interface

After you login to TimeTrex, you will see the main user interface, which is similar to the following image:


ri 53 09/01/2015 23:56



There are three major sections:

Menu Bar – Click any item to navigate to that section.

Icon Bar – Click an icon to per form a specific action. In most cases there will be several groups of icons that may change depending on which item in the menu bar is selected.

Listing/Details – This section contains a listing or set of fields that corresponds to the selections made in the menu ba r and icons.

Basic Operation

TimeTrex has four basic operations that can be performed on most records: View, Add, Edit and Delete.

Viewing records:

Navigate to the records that you wish to view by selecting the appropriate option from the menu bar and icon from the icon bar.1.

The Listing/Details section will show all records that you have permissions to see. If required, use the Search Panel fea ture to narrow the results.2.

Adding new records:

1. Navigate to the records that you wish to add by selecting the appropriate option from the menu bar and icon from the icon bar.

2. If records of that type do not exist, click the New icon where the Listing/Details section would normally be located.

3. If records of that type do exist, click on any record so the icon bar switches to the available icons for that record, and then click the New icon.

4. An inset page will appear with one or more tabs. If there are multiple tabs, click on each tab to see additional fields that you can fill out.


ri 53 09/01/2015 23:56



5. Click the Save icon to save your changes, or click the Cancel icon to discard the changes.

Editing existing records:

Navigate to the records that you wish to edit by selecting the appropriate option from the menu bar and icon from the icon bar.1.

In the Listing/Details section, select the record you want to edit from the list, and then click the Edit icon.2.

An inset page will appear with one or more tabs. If there are multiple tabs, click on each tab to see additional fields that you can fill out.3.

For convenience, you may click the drop-down list in the upper right to edit another existing record.4.

Click the Save icon to save your changes, or click the Cancel icon to discard the changes.5.

Deleting existing records:

Navigate to the records that you wish to delete by selecting the appropriate option from the menu bar and icon from the icon bar.1.

In the Listing/Details section, select the record that you would like to delete from the list, and then click the Delete icon.2.

Click Yes to confirm or click No to cancel.3.

WARNING: When deleting records, all data related to the records is deleted and will not be recoverable after you confirm the delete action. Therefore, you should not delete a record unless absolutely necessary. In

most cases you can disable or deactivate records. For example, if an employee leaves or is terminated, rather than delete the employee and lose a ll related data, you can set their Status as Terminated and retain the

data for reporting purposes.

Context Menu

Many functions are available from the right-click context menu, which you can display by right-clicking the mouse while the pointer hovers over the Listing/Details section of the interface. See the User Interface

section for more information about the Listing/Details section.

Here is the context menu that appears if you right-click over the Listing/Details section in the Attendance > Timesheet screen:

Many items in the top section of this menu corr espond to the icons in the icon bar at the top of the screen. You will learn more about the remaining functions in the chapters below.

Search Panel

Just below the menu bar icons, click the Basic Search tab to reveal the Search Panel.


ri 53 09/01/2015 23:56



This search panel is for the Employees feature. Here, as with all search panels, you will find a number of fields that correspond to search criteria for the section you are currently viewing. The example displayed above

is the Basic Search tab for the Employee > Employees menu bar section. You can choose an employee by Status, enter all or part of the First Name or Last Name, or choose from other options.

Each additional field that you fill out is considered to be an AND search, causing the search to be more restrictive. As you specify more options, the number of results will be smaller because each match must contain

the values specified in all fields. Keep in mind that the search criteria will still apply even if you collapse the search panel. Click the Clear Search button to clear all search fields and display all results in the listing

again.

TIP: Click the in the upper left corner of the Search panel to hide the Search Panel.

Saving a Search

You can save a custom search or layout so that you can quickly reuse it in the future. To save a search, do the following:

In the Basic Search or Advanced Search tabs, specify the search values for the fields that you want.1.

Click the Saved Search & Layout tab, just below the top menu bar.2.

In the Save Search As field, enter a name for the Saved Search & Layout.3.

Click the Save button.4.

Updating or deleting a saved search

To edit or delete an already existing Saved Search & Layout, do the following:

Click the Saved Search & Layout tab, just below the top menu.1.

In the Previously Saved Search drop-down list, choose the search that you want to edit or delete.2.

To edit the search, make changes to the Basic Search or Advanced Search tabs, then return to the Saved Search & Layout tab and click the Update button.3.

To delete a saved search, click the Delete button.4.

Choosing a view

After saving your search and layout c riteria, the name of that Saved Search & Layout will appear in the Current View drop-down list found to the right of the Saved Search & Layout tab. You can choose any of the

items from the list to immediately switch to that Saved Search & Layout.

Customizing the display of drop-down menus

In the previous section, you became familiar with the drop-down menus in the Search Panel. Throughout the application, you will find a small button adjacent to many drop-down menus that looks like this: . Click

this button to display a panel where you can customize the listing and search fields that are available for that specific drop-down menu:

In the left red panel, Unselected Items, you will see the fields that you can choose to display. The right green panel, Selected Items, lists those fields that will be displayed in the drop-down listing. Each panel also has

a group of Clear, Select All and Deselect All buttons along the top.

Follow these steps to modify the columns displayed in the drop-down listing:

To add a field, select it with the mouse and then click located in the middle of the two panels. Instead of using the arrows, you can drag-and-drop items from either the left or right side. For convenience, you

can click either of the Select All or Deselect All buttons. To quickly move all items to the opposite panel, you can also click the Clear button.

1.

To remove a field, select it from the right panel with the mouse and then click , or you can drag-and-drop items from either the left or right side.2.

To rearrange the order of the fields, drag-and-drop the item on the right Selected Items panel to move them up or down in the list. The item at the top of the list will be displayed on the left side of the screen and

the item at the bottom will be displayed on the right side of the screen.

3.

To restrict the number of rows that will appear on each page when the drop-down listing appears, choose a value from the Rows Per Page drop-down.4.

To save your changes, click the Save and Close button, or click Close to discard your changes.5.

TIP: If you don’t click the Save and Close button, you will lose all of your changes.

Selecting multiple items

As described in the previous section, you can drag-and-drop items from either the left or right side, or you can select the item and then click or .

Another convenient feature is multiple selection of items. There are two ways to make selections:

To include individual items, press and hold the CTRL key and then click on each item.

To include a range of items, press and hold the SHIFT key and then click the first and last item in the range.

After you have chosen all the items you want to move, use or or drag-and-drop the entire set of chosen items.

Branches

A Branch identifies the physical location where the employees ar e punching in or out. For time recording, TimeTrex requires at least one branch, or location. If there are multiple branches, each one should be added.

An employee can be assigned to a single default branch in their Employee Record. This will be the branch used for this employee across the entire application unless otherwise specified.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Branches.

Departments

A Department identifies a functional unit within your company. You can assign employees to the departments that match their work roles, or configure the departments in the best way that fits your organization. You

can add one or more departments.

An employee can be assigned to a single default department in their Employee Record. This will be the department used for this employee across the entire application unless otherwise specified.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Departments.

Hierarchy

Hierarchy defines the relationship between a superior and the subordinates within your company. You can establish a hierarchy for different types of objects: Requests, Exception Notifications, Timesheet

Verification, and Permissions. By establishing a hierarchy, superiors can view data for only the subordinates that were assigned to them by the administrator.

For example, if an employee submits a request to their supervisor, the supervisor authorizes the request and passes it to the payroll administrator for final approval. In TimeTrex, the supervisor for this employee is

found in the hierarchy definition.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Hierarchy.

Hierarchy Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Objec ts Hierar chy Objects defines which types of objec ts the hie rarchy controls.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Requests When a subordinate submits a request, the superiors assigned to the hierarchy for requests will be able to authorize those requests.

Permissions When a superior is assigned to the Supervisor (Subordinates Only) Permission Group, they will only be able to access subordinates defined in the

same hierarchy.

TimeSheets If timesheet verification is enabled in the Pay Period Schedule, this object type controls which superiors are able to verify their subordinates' timesheets.

Exceptions When Exception Policies are configured to email superiors when an exception is triggered, the superior(s) at the bottom of the hierarchy (those with the

highest level number) will receive the emailed notification.

Subordinates Defines the subordinate employees, who can only be assigned to a single hierarchy with the same objects at a time.

Superiors Defines the superiors, who may be assigned to multiple hierarchies. Superiors at the top of the hierarchy (Level 1) are the final level to authorize requests, and the superiors at the

bottom level are the first to authorize requests. Requests move up the hierarchy from the bottom to the top as they are authorized by each level. Superiors at the same level share

responsibilities, and either superior can authorize requests.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Level The level the specified Superior is assigned to.

Superiors The names of the Superior(s) assigned to the Hierarchy. As needed, add or remove Superiors by clicking the and buttons on the far right.

NOTE: Superiors at lower levels are not considered subordinates to superiors at higher levels in the same hierarchy. You must assign employees to the subordinate list to be considered a subordinate.

However, you can create additional hierarchies to define the superior/subordinate relationship between supervisors or managers. While superiors can be assigned to multiple hierarchies, the subordinates are only


ri 53 09/01/2015 23:56



assigned to a single hierarchy for one object. For example, you setup hierarchies in the following manner:

Hierarchy Name: Sales Department

Level = 1: Sales Manager Level = 2: Sal es Assist ant Manager (Subordinates: All sal es employees)

Hierarchy Name: Support Department

Level = 1: Support Manager Level = 2: Support Assi st ant Manager (Subordinates: All support employees)

Hierarchy Name: Upper Management

Level = 1: CEO (Subordi nates: Sales Manager, Sales Assi st ant Manager, Support Manager, Support Assi st ant Manager)

Hierarchies work with Permission Groups to determine the overall level of functionality that the employee has within TimeTrex. So even though an employee is assigned to a hierarchy as a level 1 superior, if they are

assigned to the Regular Employee permission group, they will not be able to authorize requests or even see any other employees. Essentially, the hierarchy will be ignored. If you wish to restrict the employees a

superior can see, you must assign them to the Supervisor (Subordinates Only) permission group. If they are a ssigned to any permission group at a higher level, they will see all employees regardless of how the

hierarchies are defined.

Currencies

To pay employees, you need to setup at least one currency for your payroll. If you pay employees in more than one country with different currencies, you will need to set up multiple currencies. After adding a currency,

you can specify it as the pay currency when you create new employees. In addition, currencies will apply to invoices and expenses.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Currencies.

Currency Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Status Select the status of the currency from the drop-down box.

Status DESCRIPTION

Enabled The currency is active and is available to be selected.

Disabled The currency is inactive and cannot be selected.

ISO Currency Select the ISO standard name for the currency from the drop-down box.

Name Provide a name for the currency.

Base Currency Defines the currency that all exchange rates are based upon. There must be at least one base currency and after it is set, it should not change.

Conversion Rate Defines the conversion rate against the selected Base Currency.

Default Currency Defines whether or not thi s is the default currency.

Auto Update Allows TimeTrex to automatically update the exchange rate each day.

Decimal P laces Choose 0 to 4 decimal p laces f rom the drop-down box.

Bank Account

You will need to setup at least one company bank account to provide Direc t Deposit of payroll to your employees' direct deposit accounts.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Company Bank Accounts.

Stations

Stations allow employers to have precise control over the locations where the employees are able to punch in and out. TimeTrex considers a station to be any device that can be used to punch in or punch out. For

example, stations can be computers with a web browser, iButton readers, fingerprint readers, proximity card readers, barcode readers, touch-tone telephones, mobile phones, and stand-alone time clocks.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Stations.

NOTE: The use of stations is only for punching in and out. Employees can carry out any other functions that they have permission for, such as checking schedules, viewing pay stubs, and submitting requests from

other locations where the TimeTrex application is available.

NOTE: By default, all employees are allowed to punch in and out at any station. If you need to apply restrictions, you must change these settings.

value of "ANY" without the quotes.

Source For computers, iButton readers, fingerprint readers, and stand-alone time clocks, the source is one or more Internet IP addresses separated by a comma (such as 192.168.1.100,

192.168.1.101, 192.168.1.102, etc.), a netmask range of IP addresses (192.168.1.0/24 or 192.168.0.0/16), or an Internet domain name. To specify a wildcard, use the value of "ANY"without any quotes.

Employee Criteria Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Employee Groups There are two drop-down f ie lds to complete:

Employee Groups DESCRIPTION

Selection Type Select the employee groups that are eligible to log into this station.

Selection Select the employee groups for this stat ion (i.e. Executives, Non-exempt hourly, etc. ). If All Groups was selected in the above Selection Type

drop-down, then leave this field blank.

Branches There are two drop-down fields to complete:

Branches DESCRIPTION

Selection Type Select the branches of employees that are eligible to log into this station.

Selection Select the branches for this station (i.e. New York, Seatt le, etc.). If All Branches was selected in the above Selection Type drop-down, then leave this

field blank.

Departments There are two drop-down fields to complete:

Departments DESCRIPTION

Selection Type Select the departments of employees that are eligible to log into this station.

Selection Select the departments for this station (i .e. Administrat ion, Construction etc.). If All Departments was selected in the above Selection Type drop-down,

then leave this field blank.

Include Employees If there are additional employees that were not included by the criteria selected above, you can include them here. For example if you setup the above criteria to allow all employees

in the New York branch to log into this station, but you wanted to include just one employee f rom the Seattle branch, you would use this field to include that one employee. If you are

unsure, do not select any employees, as by default all employees are eligible.

Exclude Employees If there are employees that are included in the above criteria that you wish to be excluded from this job, you can exclude them here. For example if you setup the above criteria to

allow all employees in the New York branch to log into this station, but you wanted to exclude just one employee from this branch, you would use this field to exclude that one

employee. If you are unsure do not select any employees, as by default all employees ar e eligible.

NOTE: By default, all employees can use a station. Switch to the Employee Criteria tab, and decide what additional constraints you want to apply to this station. If you want to restrict c ertain employees, adjust

the settings in this tab.

NOTE: Setting the Station ID or Source to "ANY" acts as a wild card, and directs TimeTrex to accept any value.

The following are some common scenarios for configuring the stations:

You can create a "wild card" station that allows all computers behind a company firewall or router to punch In/Out without having to specifically assign access to each computer. Add a new station in TimeTrex and set

the Type to PC, the Station ID to ANY, and the Source to one or multiple internet IP address(es) of the firewalls/routers (such as 204.174.1.1, 204.174.1.1, or 24.2.1.3). Each station has the Employee Criteria tabwhere you can restrict cer tain employees from using this station.

For example, if you want to allow all employees to punch in and out from any telephone, you would add a new station in TimeTrex, set the Type to Phone, and set both the Station ID and Source to ANY. If you want

to restrict employees so they can only punch In/Out from a company telephone, you would set both the Station ID and Source to the company's telephone number—without dashes or brackets (ie. 6045551234).

Pay Period Schedules


ri 53 09/01/2015 23:56



Pay period schedules are critical to the operation of TimeTrex because they define when a pay period begins and ends. In addition, the schedule defines the transaction date, which is the date that employees are paid.

While most companies use only a single pay period schedule, TimeTrex allows for multiple pay period schedules. However, you can only a ssign an employee to one pay period schedule at a time.

Pay period schedules constantly repeat themselves, similar to recurring schedules for employees. When you add a new pay period schedule, you define one or two full pay period start and transaction days. TimeTrex

automatically determines the schedule pattern and repeats it indefinitely.

If you pay by check, you should set at least one day between the end of the pay period and the transaction date. If you pay by direct deposit, you should allow two business days. This gives the supervisors and

employees enough time to submit requests and complete any outstanding authorizations before payment is finalized. If a holiday falls at the end of a pay period, you should leave a buffer of 5 to 7 days.

To create a pay period schedule, perform these steps.

Click Company in the menu bar, and then click Pay Period Schedules in the icon bar.1.

An inset page will appear with two tabs: Pay Period Schedule and Advanced.2.

Complete the fields.3.

Click Save to save your changes, or click Cancel to discard the changes.4.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Pay Period Schedules.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Overtime Week Select the start and end of a week with respect to overtime or premium policies. For example, if an employee is eligible for overtime after working 40 hours, this setting specifies the

day on which the overtime hours will begin. It does not need to coincide with your pay pe riod dates.

Time Zone Select the time zone used for this pay period schedule. TimeTrex is a 24-hour system, capable of operating in any country around the world. This feature is very important for a

company having locations in different time zones, where they need to define the exact time that overtime and each pay period starts and ends.

Minimum Time-off Between

Shifts

Enter the minimum amount of time that must occur between out and in punches before TimeTrex will start a new shift for an employee. It is only used for shifts that span midnight.

For example: If an employee punches out on 15-Jan-12 at 11:30 PM for lunch and punches back in on 16-Jan-12 (the next day) at 12:30 AM, in order to combine these two sets of

times into a single shift, the Minimum Time-Off Between Shifts must be set to at lea st 1 hour. If your employees work split shifts around midnight, or leave for extended breaks, this

setting should be high enough to include the longest break that any employee may take and still continue their shift.

Maximum Shift Time Enter the maximum time that a single shift can extend. It also defines how many prior hours that TimeTrex will search when trying to pair punches. It is important that this setting is

not too high or too low. If this option is set too high (such a s 24:00), there could be some confusion.

For example: When an employee punches in at 8:00 AM and forgets to punch out at 5:00 PM, and then comes in the next morning at 8:00 AM, TimeTrex will search backwards to 24

hours to determine if there is an in-punch without a matching out-punch. If it finds one, it would incorrectly calculate that the employee is punching out for a long shift and the

employee's timesheet would be incorrect. Therefore, it is very important that Maximum Shift Time be set to a value that is no more than one hour longer than the longest possible

shift an employee may work, usually no more than 16 hours.

When training employees, you should emphasize that while making a punch, the employee is given the opportunity to set the punch type/status. The employee can avoid the situation

described in the previous example by forcing the punch status to IN rather than leaving the TimeTrex default that is specified as OUT.

Assigns Shifts To Specify the day a shift is assigned to when i t spans midnight.

Assigns Shifts To DESCRIPTION

Day They Start On The shift is assigned to the day when the first in punch occurs.

Day They End On The shift is assigned to the day when the last in punch occurs.

Day With Most Time

Worked

The shift is assigned to the day when most of the hours worked occurs.

Each Day (Split At

Midnight)

The shift is split and any time worked is assigned to the day when it actually occurred.

TimeSheet Verification Select who will do the verification from the drop-down box.

TimeSheet Verification DESCRIPTION

Disabled Timesheet Verification is not in use.

Employee Only Employees (Subordinates) are only required to verify their timesheets.

Superior Only Superiors are only required to verify their timesheets.

Both Employee &

Superior

Both employee and Superior are required to verify their timesheets.

By default, employees can only verify timesheets after the pay period ends and before the transaction date. However, you can specify the number of days when the Verification

Window Starts and Verification Window Ends, and use negative values here to extend the window in either direction.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Verification Window

Starts

Enter the number of days before the pay period end date.

Verification Window

Ends

Enter the number of days before the transaction date.

NOTE: These settings are entirely different from the Start Weeks On setting found in MyAccount > Preferences. That setting is a display option for each employee, and it doesn’t affect the calculation of

overtime.

NOTE: These settings can significantly affect overtime calculations, so use them carefully.

Permission Groups

Permission groups allow employers to grant or restrict access to TimeTrex features for the employees assigned to that group. You can restrict access to documents so employees can read them, but not edit them. You

can grant edit access to supervisors only.

NOTE: When creating a permission group, you specify a Level for that group. Level is extremely important for security because any employee having access to modify a permission group can change their

permission group to another group with a lower level than their own. For example, a supervisor having a permission group of Level 10 can assign their subordinates to any Level of 10 or lower, but not assign anyone

or themselves to a higher level group. Permission levels should start at Level 1 for the lowest access (Regular Employee) and go to Level 25 for the highest access (Administrator).

TimeTrex has a granular permissions system with hundreds of different permissions that interface with each another. There are five standard permission groups that are useful for 99% of companies.

Regular Employee: This is the lowest level group that can view only their own time sheets and accrual balances.

Supervisor (Subordinates Only): This group is supervisors who can only view and edit the time sheets, punches, schedules, and requests of their subordinates, based on the established hierarchy.

Supervisor (All Subordinates): This group is identical to the previous supervisor group, except that it can view and edit the time sheets, punches, schedules, and requests of all employees.

Payroll Administrator: This group can view and edit all time sheets, punches, overtime hours, etc., for all employees. They are restricted from changing policies.

Administrator: This group has full rights to everything.

You should not modify the permissions unless you are speaking with a support representative. If you make only small adjustments, verify the results to ensure that your changes did not adversely affect your overall

system configuration.

NOTE: You can assign an employee to only one group at a time.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Permission Groups.

To add a permission group, do the following:

Click Company in the menu bar, and then click Permission Groups in the icon bar.1.

Click New in the icon bar.2.

An inset page will appear.3.


In the Employee drop-down, choose the employees that belong to this permission group.5.

Move the names of the employees into the Selected Items column.6.

Click Save to save your changes, or click Cancel icon to discard the changes.7.

WARNING: When deleting a permission group, you must first remove all the assigned employees and place them in another group. If a permission group is deleted and the employees were not previously

re-assigned, those employees will not have any permissions and will not be able to use the system. In addition, use extreme caution when editing your own group so you don't remove the permissions you need to

administer TimeTrex.

Import

You can import data into TimeTrex by using a step-by-step tool called the Import Wizard. The source data must reside in a comma-separated value (CSV) text file, which you export from Excel or most other

spreadsheet software. During the process, you will need to know the location of the file, and then specify how much of the data you want to import.

To import data, do the following:

Click Company in the menu bar, and then click Import in the icon bar.1.

An inset page will appear containing a progress bar at the top and a drop-down menu where you choose the type of data to import.2.

After choosing the type of data, click and then follow the remaining steps in the wizard.3.

Employee Information

The Employee feature allows you to manage employee information such as personal data, wages, bank accounts, and job titles. Since this information supports other features, you should make it an early step in your

setup process.

NOTE: It is important that Employee information is current and accurate so attendance and payroll processes run properly.

Employees

Preference Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Employee Name of the employee.

Language Employee 's prefer red language (English, French, German, etc.) .

Date Format Preferred date format (dd/mm/yy, mm/dd/yy, etc.).

Time Format Preferred time format (8:09PM, 20:09GMT etc.).

Time Units Preferred time units (hh:mm, hh:mm:ss, etc.).

Its important to understand the differences between these formats. The two primary formats are Hours (2.25) (time in decimal hour format) and hh:mm (2:15) (time in hours and

minutes separated by a colon, similar to a digital clock). When using Hours (2.25), its easy to add the times together using a calculator, but its difficult to input time to the nearest

minute, as 5 minutes would equal 0.083333333 (repeated to infinity). However using the hh:mm (2:15) format its easy to enter time to the nearest minute as 5 minutes would be

00:05, but this format cannot be easily added on a calculator, since its a colon separating the hours and minutes not a decimal. Therefore if you want to manually add 1:59 + 3:01, you

cannot enter 1.59 + 3.01 (notice the difference between the co lon : and .) into your calculator as that would equal 4.6, but in reality its 1 hour and 59 minutes + 3 hours and 1 minutefor a total of 5 hours. The reason for this is of course that there are 60 minutes in an hour and when entered into your calculator it would take 100 minutes to equal an hour.

Alarm 1 Enter the time for the first calendar notification (or reminder) before the employee's scheduled start time. For example, if this field is set with 1:00 before the scheduled start time,

Microsoft Calendar displays a reminder that the shift will start in 1 hour. If the alarm is set for a smart phone, the phone will ring 1 hour before the shift starts. (See Advanced Options

Pay Period Schedules for more information.)

Alarm 2 Enter the time for the second calendar notification (or reminder) before the employee's scheduled start time. For example, if this field is set with 00:30 before the scheduled start time,

Microsoft Calendar displays a reminder that the shift will start in 30 minutes. If the alarm is set for a smart phone, the phone will ring 30 minutes before the shift starts.

Alarm 1 Enter a time for the first notification (or reminder) for a scheduled shift absence. Shifts Scheduled Absent are shifts where the employee may be scheduled off on a day they would

normally be working, either on vacation or sick time. This alert reminds the employee *not* to come in to work that day. For example, if an employee is scheduled for a vacation day

and this alarm is set for 04:00, the Microsoft ca lendar displays a reminder that vacation starts in 4 hours. The employee could then complete the work that cannot wait until the return

from vacation.

Alarm 2 Enter a time for the second notification (or reminder) for a scheduled shift absence. Shifts Scheduled Absent are shifts where the employee may be scheduled off on a day they would

normally be working, either on vacation or sick time. This alert reminds the employee *not* to come in to work that day. For example, if an employee is scheduled for a vacation day

and this alarm is set for 01:00, the Microsoft ca lendar displays a reminder that vacation starts in 1 hour. The employee could then inform the supervisor of unfinished work that can

wait until the return from vacation.

Alarm 1 Enter the time for the first calendar notification (or reminder) before the start time for the modified shift the employee has been scheduled to work. For example, if the supervisor

modifies the employee's schedule and this field is set with 1:00, Microsoft Calendar displays a reminder that the modified shift will start in 1 hour. If the alarm is set for a smart

phone, the phone will ring 1 hour before the modified shift.

Alarm 2 Enter the time for the second calendar notification (or reminder) before the start time for the modified shift the employee has been scheduled to work. For example, if the supervisor

modifies the employee's schedule and this field is set with 00:15, Microsoft Calendar displays a reminder that the modified shift will start in 15 minutes. If the alarm is set for a smart

phone, the phone will ring 15 minutes before the modified shift.

Wages

The first wage entry for an employee must have an effective date that occurs on or before the employee's hire date. If a wage entry does not cover a period of time, the employee will not be paid for the time they

worked within that period.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Wages.

NOTE: It is critical that you specify an hourly rate for salary employees. Otherwise, TimeTrex can't calculate any adjustments to the employees' salary.

Wage Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Employee Select the employee's name from the drop-down box.

Wage Group Select the correct wage group for the employee from the drop-down box. In most cases, the default wage group for the employee is sufficient. In rare cases, if the employee works

more than one job at different rates of pay, you might need a secondary wage. Learn more in the section about Secondary Wage Groups.

Type Select the type of wage from the drop-down box.

Type DESCRIPTION

Hourly The employee is paid by the hour.

Salary (Weekly) The employee i s paid weekly.

Salary (Bi-Weekly) The employee is paid bi-weekly.

Salary (Monthly) The employee is paid monthly.

Salary (Annual ) The employee is paid annual ly.

Wage Enter a wage amount, either per hour or per salary period.

Average Time/Week If you chose one of the salary options as the Type, enter the amount of hours per week for the salaried employee, i.e. 40 hours per week.

Annual Hourly Rate If you chose one of the salary options as the Type, the Annual Hourly Rate field will display the equivalent hourly rate for that salary amount that you put into the Wage field.

Labor Burden Percent Add a percent, such as 25%, to represent the additional costs for this employee. For example, if an employee's salary is $20,000 and receives additional benefits worth $5000 for

health care and paid vacation, the labor burden is 25%. The rough estimate for extra employee costs is calculated from company accounting records and is applied as a percent to the

Labor Burden Percent field. If additional employee costs are not calculated, then this field should be 0%.

Effective Date This field contains the date that a wage becomes effective. For example, when an employee receives a new wage from a promotion, this field should not be changed or the employee's

wage history will be lost. For every change in the employee's wage, you should add a new wage record with the new amount. Then a complete history of each employee's wage

changes is maintained within the application.

Note Add an optional note.

Secondary Wage Groups

With Secondary Wage Groups, you can assign multiple employee wages for each wage group that you define. You can then reference the wage groups directly by policies such a s Overtime Policies, Premium Policies,

or Absence Policies. Secondary wage groups gives you complete flexibility in paying employees accura tely for the time that they work in multiple jobs. This feature is used when you need to pay employees their own

specific rate, which cannot be determined by using the policies Rate multiplier on the employee's default wage.

NOTE: This feature is often confused with other group functionality such as employee groups, job groups or task groups. However, this is not the case, you should only create secondary wage groups if you need to

pay employees different rates for performing different jobs or tasks.

For example, if an employee gets paid $10 per hour for most of the time they work, but gets $11.27 per hour for work in "Department A" and $12.33 per hour for work in "Department B," you setup two secondary

wage groups, one for each department. In addition, you would configure two shift differential premium policies that specify when an employee works in a specific department. Then they get paid the rate that you

associated with the alternative wage group(s) instead of their default wage.

To add a wage group, do the following:

Click Company in the menu bar, and then click Secondary Wage Groups in the icon bar.1.


Complete the field.3.

Click Save to save your changes or click Cancel discard the changes.4.

Recurring Schedules

As with individual Scheduled Shifts, you can manage the recurring schedules for employees. After an employee is assigned to a r ecurring schedule, the schedule goes on indefinitely, and the supervisor no longer needs

to create a new schedule for employees that work the same hours each week. However, even though a recurring schedule can go on indefinitely, it can also have a start and end date.

To view the recurring schedules, click Attendance in the menu bar and then click Recurring Schedules.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Recurring Schedules.

Recurring Schedule Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Templa te Selec t a Recurring Schedule Templa te to assign to the new recurring schedule .

Start Week Enter the week of the recurring template that this recurring schedule will start with. In most cases, you will enter a 1. If the schedule is a rotation, you can enter another number, such

as 2 or 3, to indicate that this schedule is starting in the middle of the rotation schedule.

Start Date Enter today's date or a future date. Recurring schedules do not take effect retroactively, so a past date should not be used.

End Date Enter a future date when the schedule will end. If you want the schedule to continue indefinitely, leave the field blank.

Auto-Punch Check the Auto-Punch box to have the system automatically punch the employees in and out according to their respective schedules. Then they will not have to manually punch in or

out. Use this feature when you want to track hours and absences for salaried employees or other employees who do not have access to a method for punching in and out. For example,

Auto-Punch may be useful for outside sales staff who ar e on the road visiting potential customers, or field service employees who visit customers to provide on-site service.

Employees Select the employees that you want to assign to this schedule. In addition, you can also select the "OPEN" employee to create an open recurring schedule that you can later assign

employees to.

NOTE: When making a change to a recurring schedule, the change will apply to all employees who are assigned to that schedule. If you only want to change the recurring schedule of a single employee who is

already assigned to one along with other employees, you should remove that employee from their current recurring schedule. Once done, you can add that employee to an existing schedule and or create a new schedule

for them, with new settings.

Recurring Schedule Templates

Recurring schedule templates can be used to define all types of shifts, including rotating shifts, split shifts, or open shifts. For example, a three-week rotating shift can include the first week on mornings, the second

week on afternoons, and the third week on evenings. A split shift can be defined for employees that work the morning shift on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and the evening shift on Thursday and Friday. An open

shift template can be defined for days when the business is expected to be extra busy and additional employees are needed.

To manage recurring schedule templates, click Attendance in the menu bar, and then click Recurring Templates in the icon bar. Click the New icon to add a new template and complete all fields. As needed, add or

delete weeks from the template by clicking the and buttons on the far right.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Recurring Templates.

Week A week defines the different shift hours for each day of the week. To add another week to the template, click the button on the far right and repeat until you have the correct

number of week entries.

For a routine shift that has the same hours each week, enter 1 in this field.

For a rotating shift, add additional weeks with a different number for each rotation week. For example, in a rotating shift the employees work mornings for the first week,

afternoons in the second week, and evenings in the third week. Enter 1 in the week field for mornings, 2 in the second week f ield for afternoons, and 3 in the third week field

for evenings to create a 3-week rotating shift.

For a split shift where the employee works mornings on some days and evenings on other days, create a template with two week entries and enter 1 in both week fields, but

each week would have different days selected or In/Out times.

Status Select the status of the scheduled shift.

Open Shift Multiplier This field defines how many employees are needed to have full coverage on the shift. Enter a number in this field to indicate the number of open spots on this shift. As employees are

scheduled, the number declines until the shift is completely staffed. This feature is especially useful for retail stores that have more customers on sale days or weekends and need to

schedule additional employees to work on those days.

NOTE: This field is used only when the r ecurring schedule using this template is assigned to the "OPEN" employee.

Time and AttendanceThe Time and Attendance module is used to manage and track employee attendance. You can view employee timesheets and make necessary changes within the restrictions you set elsewhere

within TimeTrex, (such as in Permission Groups or Polices). You can monitor accrual balances (ie: vacation or sick time) and add or subtract time from these accounts when necessary. You can

create Branches, Departments, Jobs and Tasks for employees to record their time against.

Punching In/Out

In addition to hardware devices (http://www.timetrex.com/hardware.php) that TimeTrex offers to help employees track their time, an employee can use the web interface if they have permission to

do so.

It is important to understand that TimeTrex requires punches be recorded in pa irs to capture a period of worked time for accurately paying an employee. IN punches represent time the employee is working or on the

clock (receiving pay), and OUT punches represent time the employee is n ot working or off the clock (not receiving pay). For every IN punch there must be a corresponding OUT punch, otherwise an exception is

triggered. For example, the first punch of each shift would be an IN punch. When an employee leaves work for a lunch break, they would punch OUT for lunch (the employees can think of this as “going to lunch”).

Then when the employee returns, they punch IN from lunch. Finally, when the employee has finished their shift, they punch OUT.

Below is an example of what the punches may look like on the employee's timesheet:

Type Status Time

Normal In 8:00AM

Lunch Out 12:00PM

Lunch In 1:00PM

Normal Out 5:00PM

To punch in or out in the TimeTrex web interface, do the following:

Click Attendance in the menu bar, and then click In/Out in the icon bar.1.

An inset page will appear where you can edit information for the punch event. I n most cases the default values will suffice.2.

The Time and Date correspond directly to the present system time; so it is not editable.3.

Check the box if this is a Transfer punch.4.

Choose the Punch Type: Normal, Lunch, or Break.5.

Choose whether this punch is IN or OUT.6.

Optionally, choose the Branch and Department.7.

Optionally, choose a Job or Task.8.

If applicable, specify the values for Good and Bad Quantity and add an optional Note.9.

After entering the information, click the Save icon to save your changes, or click the Cancel icon to discard the changes.10.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Time Punch time (read-only)

Date Punch date (read-only)

Transfer Enables transfer punch functionality, allowing the employee to switch between a branch, department, job, or task in a single operation without having to punch out first, then punch

back in again.

Punch Type Type of punch: Normal, Lunch or Break. By default Lunch/Break punches are not paid. However, with a Meal Policy or Break Policy, they can be partially or fully paid.

In/Out Status of punch: either IN or OUT.

Branch Branch that the punch time will be recorded against.

Department Depar tment that the punch time will be recorded against.

Job Job that the punch time will be recorded against.

Task Task that the punch time will be recorded against.

Quantity Good/Bad quantity: Good quantity can be used for items produced or items inspected that meet a standard. Bad quantity is for items that did not meet a standard or items that were not

produced.

Note Optional comments that can go on the employee's timesheet and are viewable by their supervisor.

TimeSheets

By default, employees assigned to the Regular Employees permission group may view their own timesheet, but not make any changes. However, the Supervisor or higher permission levels may view and modify the

timesheets for employees that they have access to.

To view/edit an employee's timesheet:

Click Attendance in the menu bar, and then click TimeSheet in the icon bar.1.

Just below the icon bar, choose the Date and Employee that you wish to view.2.

The timesheet will appear, listing all the punches and absences for that week.3.

You can edit the punches on the timesheet by clicking the punch and then c licking Edit in the icon bar. From the same context menu, you can access the underlying Schedules, Employees, or Pay Periods.4.

Below the timesheet is summary data:

Accumulated Time from the currently displayed timesheet which includes daily totals of regular time, lunch/break time, sick time and overtime, if any.

Accumulated Time (a small table shown at the bottom left of the timesheet) gathered from the week and pay period associated with the currently displayed timesheet which includes totals of regular time, sick

time and overtime, if any.

Time spent in different Branches, Departments, Jobs, Tasks and Absence time.

Punches

TimeTrex provides a tool to view and search for punches that you have access to within the system. With this feature, you can quickly add, edit, or delete punches.

To view punches:

Click Attendance in the menu bar, and then click Punches in the icon bar.1.

If you see a large list of punches, use the Search Panel to filter the results.2.

To view or edit a specific punch, click on the punch and then choose the Edit icon in the icon bar.3.

Also, you can Delete or add New punches by using the corresponding icon in the icon bar.4.

Exceptions

Exceptions are pro-active notifications to issues that the employee and/or supervisor should be aware of, such as an employee arriving late for their shift, working overtime, or not taking their meal/breaks. There are

many different exceptions that can be triggered, and a ll of them are controlled by the Exception Policies.

Once an exception is triggered and displayed on an employee's timesheet, it cannot be removed or deleted unless the scenario that triggered the exception is corrected. For example, if an employee punches in late and

receives an "In Late" exception, the only way to remove that exception from the employee's record would be to manually modify their punch to reflect an on-time punch, or to modify the employee's schedule to reflect

a later start time.

To view exceptions:

Click Attendance in the menu bar, and then click Exceptions in the icon bar.1.

A list of exceptions will be displayed. Use the Search Panel to narrow the results.2.

To view the timesheet on the day containing the exception, click on the Exception in the list then choose View in the icon bar. You can then follow the instructions in the TimeSheets section to edit the punches

that caused the exceptions.

3.

Accruals

Accruals can be thought of like a bank account of time. All the accrual records, both positive (deposits) and negative (withdrawals), are combined to provide an overall Accrual Balance. Accrual records can be added

manually, or automatically based on other settings in TimeTrex, such as an employee working overtime or taking vacation time.

To view the individual accrual records of the employees to which you have access, do the following:

Click Attendance in the menu bar, and then click Accruals in the icon bar.1.

If you see a large list of accruals, use the Search Panel feature to narrow the results.2.

To edit an accrual, choose Edit in the icon bar. Make the changes and then click Save in the icon bar.3.

You can add a new accrual record by using the New icon in the icon bar. Choose the Employee, select the Accrual Policy and Type, enter the Amount and choose a Date. Make the changes and then click Save

in the icon bar, or click Cancel to exit.

4.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Accrual Policy Accrual Policy balance that wil l be increased or decreased by the amount.

Type Select the Type of accrual record from the drop-down box.

Type DESCRIPTION

Awarded/Unawarded/Gift Use these types to award employees with additional accrual as a bonus. You may deduct from the accrual balance using Unawarded.

Paid Out With this type you can manually withdraw time from an accrual balance when it is paid out. Typically, you would use absence policies and enter absence

time on the employees schedule/timesheet to automatically withdraw from the corresponding accrual policy.

Rollover Adjustment This type is available for manually adjusting accruals at the end of the year or a specific term. For example, many companies give employees 2 weeks of

vacation per year, but do not permit them to carry the time over into the next year. In this example, a manual rollover adjustment can be made to remove

the extra time for the start of the next year. Accrual policies can automatically create rollover adjustment entries.

Initial Balance Choose this type when entering initial balances from other systems into TimeTrex. For example, if your company starts using TimeTrex half waythrough the year and an employee has accrued 40 hours of vacation, you can enter that as the amount for the Initial Balance. TimeTrex will add future

accrual amounts to this initial balance.

Other Any other accrual reasons that the above types do not address.

Amount Amount that either increases or decreases the balance

Date Date that the adjustment takes place.

Accrual Balances

Accrual Balances are made up of many Accrual records over the entire period that an employee is active within TimeTrex.

To view the accrual balances of the employees to which you have access, do the following:

Click Attendance in the menu bar, and then click Accrual Balances in the icon bar.1.

If you see a large listing of employees/balances, use the Search Panel feature to narrow the results.2.

To view more details, choose View in the icon bar.3.

You can apply a positive or negative adjustment to the accrual balance by clicking New in the icon bar. See the section on Accruals for more information about modifying accrual balances.4.

Policies

TimeTrex is a policy or rule-based system. Therefore, there are many different policies that you can configure and assign to one or more employees with Policy Groups. If a specific policy does not apply to your

organization, then you do not need to create it. TimeTrex can operate without any policies, or with several hundred policies assigned to different employees.

Each type of policy will be explained in the sections below.

Exception Policies

You may configure exception policies to alert an employee and/or supervisor to specific events such a s missing punches, early or late punches, or unscheduled absences.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Exception Policies.

Exception Policy Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Active This flag activates or deactivates the exception.

Code The code for the exception that is displayed on employee's timesheet.

Name The name of the exception.

Severity You can de fine a sever ity level for each exception. There are four sever ity levels: Low, Medium, High, and Critical. You should only use the Critical severity level for exceptionsthat must be corrected before processing payroll. An example would be missing in or out punches, or missing lunch punches. If you do apply the Critical setting to some key

exceptions, it can be easier for payroll administrators to have confidence in knowing when payroll is fully ready for processing.

Grace Grace periods on things like In Late, and Out Early. For example, if an employee is 1 minute late, it won’t trigger an exception if the Grace period is set to 10 minutes.

Watch Window This is the amount of time that TimeTrex monitors this exception. For example, if this setting for In Late is set to 1 hour and the employee is 1.5 hours late, an exception will not

trigger; but if they are only 30 minutes late, then the exception will trigger.

Email Notification You can choose who will receive an email alert when each exception is triggered. To receive these emails, employees must enable email notifications in their preferences. To notify a

supervisor of an exception for one of their subordinates, both the employee and supervisor must be belong to a Hierarchy, and the Exception object type must also be assigned to it.

Timesheet Not Verified V1Timesheet Verification is enabled, this is triggered when an employee has not clicked the Timesheet Verification button 48 hours after the verification window opens and the

Grace Period has been exceeded.

Overtime Policies

Overtime policies define the number of hours or consecutive days that an employee can work before they are paid at a different rate.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Overtime Policies.


dari 53 09/01/2015 23:56



FIELD DESCRIPTION

Type Spec if ies the interval in which the ove rtime calcula tions are done. For example, if you set a Daily overtime policy, TimeTrex only looks at the work time in a single 24-hour day. If it

is set as a Weekly policy, TimeTrex will calculate against a 7-day week.

NOTE: If you set Type to Weekly overtime policy, the overtime week (such as Sun-Sat, or Mon-Sun) is defined in the Pay Period Schedules as Overtime Week.

Type DESCRIPTION

Daily Calculates the number of hours in the day.

Weekly Calculates the number of hours in the week as defined by the Pay Period Schedule .

Bi-Weekly Calculates the number of hours in a two-week period as defined by the Pay Period Schedule.

Specific Day Of Week Calculates the number of hours on the specific day of week that is chosen.

Consecutive Days Calculates the number of hours in the selected number of consecutive days.

Holiday Calculates the hours only on hol idays specif ied by the Holiday Policy.

Over Schedule (Daily) /

No Schedule

Calculates the hours over the employees scheduled number of hours in the day, or if they are not scheduled a t all.

Over Schedule (Weekly) /

No Schedule

Calculates the hours over the employees scheduled number of hours in the week, or if they are not scheduled at all.

Act ive After The amount of time an employee must work with in the in terval set in Type before this overtime policy triggers. For a Daily Type, if you want any work time that exceeds 8 hours to

count as overtime, you would set this value of Ac tive After to 8 hours. For Weekly, you might set this value to 40 hours.

Rate The pay rate that the employee will receive for any hours matching the overtime policy criteria. Examples: 1.00 is the regular rate, 1.50 is time and half, 2.00 is double time.

Wage Group Specifies the Secondary Wage Group to use when calculating the overtime rate. This field is used when you want to specify a custom rate for each employee, or a rate completely

separate from the default rate for an employee.

Pay Stub Account This field is for the Pay Stub account that supports the pay stub for any hours that match this overtime policy. If you have multiple overtime policies, you should use different

accounts for each overtime policy so they clearly itemize on pay stubs and reports.

Deposit to Accrual Policy Sets the Accrual Policies by which overtime hours will deposit. It is especially important where time banks are in place. Overtime can be simultaneously paid out and deposited into

an accrual policy. If you only want to deposit overtime hours to an accrual policy, set the Rate to 0.00, then TimeTrex will not pay out any overtime that might match this criteria.

Accrual Rate The rate in which hours are deposited to the accrual policy. To bank time at double time (instead of paying it out), you would set Accrual Rate to 2.00 and set Rate to 0.00.

Rounding Policies

Rounding policies define the interval and direction that employee punches are rounded to. Rounding policies can greatly affect payroll expenses by determining how much time employees are paid, or docked, for

coming in late, or leaving early.

Rounding Policy Theory

The theory behind rounding is to offer employers a method where employees are only paid for the time the employees are at work or ready to work. For example, if an employee is scheduled to start work at 8:00 AM,

walking through the front door at 7:59 AM might not be acceptable. The employee might have to turn on the lights, remove their jacket, start the computers or machinery, and grab coffee before beginning real work. If

employers do not want to pay them for this non-productive time, a rounding policy can be put into effect.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Rounding Policies.


dari 53 09/01/2015 23:56



FIELD DESCRIPTION

Punch Type Specifies which types of punches that TimeTrex will round in this policy. It’s important to understand the significance of setting a Punch Type to Lunch Total, Break Total, or Day

Total. Each type will initiate a total rounding that applies to the total lunch, break or day time and rounds it to the specified interval. This is useful if it does not matter to the employer

when employees punch In/Out as long as the total punch time is rounded to the specified interval.

In TimeTrex, every punch must be paired with another punch. (See Punching In/Out for more information.) For every IN punch, there must be a corresponding OUT punch in order

to calculate the total amount of worked time. Consequently, Lunch/Break/Day total rounding simply rounds the last punch in the pair so that the overall total time of the pair will

round to the interval that you specify.

For example, take the following punches with no rounding:

In: 8:03AM Out: 5:05PM Total Time: 9:02 (9 hours and 2 minutes)

If you were to apply Day Total and Average rounding with a 15-minute interval, the same punches would look like this:

In: 8:03AM Out: 5:03PM <-- changed from 5:05PM to 5:03PM Total Time: 9:00 (9 hours exactly)

As you can see, only the OUT punch is modified to a value that would result in the total time rounding to the nearest (average) 15 minutes—in this case, 9 hours exactly. However,

each individual punch can be a value that itself is not rounded (5:03PM is obviously not rounded to the nearest 15 minutes).

Round Type Sets the direction which punches will round toward. Average rounding will split the interval in half and round values in the lower half down and values in the upper half up by the

specified Interval.

Interval Defines the amount of time that punches will round. For example, if this value is set to 1 minute, all times will round to the closest minute. If this value is set to 15 minutes, times will

round to the closest quarter hour. It’s important to understand the relation of Interval with Round Type. If the Round Type is set to Up, and Interval set to 15 minutes, all times will

round up to the next 15-minute interval. (For example, 7:34 AM will round up to 7:45 AM; 7:46 AM will round to 8:00 AM). Another example: If you set Round Type to Average,

all times will round to the nearest interval. (7:34 AM will round down to 7:30 AM; 7:41 AM will round up to 7:45 AM).

Grace Period This is the amount of time given to the employee before rounding takes place. For example, if Round Type is set to Up and Interval is set to 15 minutes with a Grace Period of 3

minutes, and the employee punches IN at 8:02 AM, the punch will round down to 8:00 AM since the punch is within the Grace Period window. You should set this to 0 when using

the Average rounding type.

Strict Schedule By checking this box, punch times will round to the scheduled time of each employee. When you specify this option, TimeTrex will never record time that exceeds the schedule for

any employee. This is known as pre-authorized overtime. However, if the employee punches in late, or punches out early, those punches will round according to this policy. For strict

rounding to work, the employee must be scheduled on that day and have a Schedule Policy assigned to their schedule that defines the proper start/stop window. For example: If an

employee is scheduled to start their shift at 8:00 AM, and they punch in at 7:48 AM, but Strict Schedule is enabled, TimeTrex will record the punch time as their schedule time of

8:00 AM. If they punch in after their schedule time, then the time will round normally. The opposite is true for setting Strict Schedule at the end of a shift. If an employee punches

out after their schedule end time of 5:00 PM, TimeTrex records it as their scheduled time of 5:00 PM. If they punch out before their schedule end time, 4:50 PM, TimeTrex will round the time accordingly. When using Lunch, Break, or Day Total rounding with Strict Rounding, the total time cannot exceed the scheduled total time.

TIP: With each punch, TimeTrex records the actual punch time (before rounding), which supervisors can see when necessary. This allows supervisors to make manual adjustments at

a later time if the employee ac tually did work overtime.

Windows Based On Enables conditional rounding by defining what the below Start/Stop settings are based on.

Window Based On DESCRIPTION

Scheduled Time Employees scheduled time, either Start or End time.

Scheduled Time or Not

Scheduled

Employees scheduled time, either Start or End time or apply even if the employee isn't scheduled at all.

Stati c Time Specif ic st at ic time, such as 9:00AM, defined in theStatic Time field that appears below.

Static Total Time Specific total shift time, such as 8 hours, defined in the Static Total Time field that appears below.

Start Window Amount of time before the above selection when the window starts.

For example if the above selection is Static Time set to 9:00AM, and the Start Window is set to 00:15 then the window will start at 8:45AM.

Stop Window Amount of time after the above selection when the window ends.

For example if the above selection is Static Time set to 9:00AM, and the Stop Window is set to 00:10 then the window will stop at 9:10AM. Only punches that fall within the

Start/Stop window meet the condition and will be rounded.

WARNING: You should check your local labor laws to determine if rounding policies are legally applicable.

Accrual Policies

Accrual policies provide a mechanism for time to accrue or deposit into a time bank so employees can take time off at a later date. Commonly accrual policies are for banking time, keeping track of sick time, or

vacation time. Overtime Policies and Absence Policies can also be setup to automatically deposit or withdraw time from accrual policies.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Accrual Policies.

Weekly, a specific date must also be set.

WARNING: Consider the common case where you choose Annual frequency and specify a date of January 1 and an

employee is hired on January 2nd. In such a case, the employee will require nearly 2 years full employment to receive the

accrual rate for a 1-year service milestone because they will always be one day short of a full year on the date when time

deposits into their accruals. If you use the annual frequency, you should consider basing it on the Employee's Hire Date, so

that the time deposits on the anniversary date of each employee. Alternatively you could consider using a Milestone Rollover

Based On date that matches this frequency date.

Hour Based Choosing this type is similar to the standard accrual policy, except that time deposits into the bank each day that an employee works to correspond with

the length of service milestones.

After Minimum Employed

Days

This is the amount of time that an employee must be employed before they become eligible for this accrual policy. After the employee has sufficient employment, TimeTrex will start

accruing time from zero. It will not go back and calculate a larger deposit to the account for lost time due to the minimum employment period.

Milestone Rollover Based On This is the date from which the length of service defined for each milestone is calculated from.

This can be either the Employee’s Hire Date, or specific day of a particular month. If it is defined as a specific day then the length of service will be calculated as if employees were

hired on that date in the yea r they were hired. For example if the date specified is January 1st, then an employee hired on March 20th 2005 would have their length of service

calculated from January 1st 2005 resulting in them receiving a greater length of service than they actually have. Conversely if the date specified is June 1st, then an employee hired on

March 20th 2005 would have their length of service calculated from June 1st 2005, resulting in lower length of service than they actually have.

Length Of Service Milestones Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Length of Service The amount of time that an employee must be continuously employed (calculated from the above Milestone Rollover date), or the amount of total employee work time (total hours),

after which the employee receives the accrual rate for this milestone.

Accrual Ra te/Year This fie ld is only available for Calendar Based accrual policies and is the number of hours the employee accrues in a one year period. TimeTrex divides this total by the Frequency

to calculate the number of hours that accrue per pay period, week, month, or year.

Accrual Ra te/Hour This fie ld is only available for Hour Based accrual policies and determines the amount of time accrued for every hour the employee works.

Accrual Total Maximum This sets the upper limit for the balance that employees are allowed to have in their accrual account. After an employee reaches this limit, TimeTrex will no longer accrue time until

the balance falls below this limit. This is used as a cap to keep employees from accruing too much time, and motivates them to take time off before they reach the cap. You should use

a value at least equal to or greater than the Accrual Rate/Year; otherwise, the employee can never earn the full accrual rate.

Annual Maximum Rollover The maximum amount of time that can roll over into the next year. The adjustment occurs on the date for Milestone Rollover Based On. For example, if the Accrual Rate/Year is

set to 40 hours and the Accrual Maximum Rollover is set to 20 hours, an adjustment entry is automatically made to reduce their accrual to 20 hours when the employee reaches the

milestone rollover date with more than 20 hours in their accrual. If you want all time that accrues to rollover into the next year, simply set this value to something greater than (or

equal to) Accrual Total Maximum. A value of zero will result in no time being rolled over.

Absence Policies

Absence policies offer a method of tracking either paid or unpaid time when employees are absent from work. Typical absences may include personal time off (PTO), vacation, holidays, sick time, and jury duty.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Absence Policies.

Absence Policy Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Type The type specifies if the absence time is considered Paid or Unpaid. In the case of salaried employees, it can be Docked from their salary or Paid in addition to their salary.

Type DESCRIPTION

Paid Considered pa id time for hour ly employees; does not affec t salar ied employees.

UnPaid Cons idered unpaid time for hourly employees ; does not affect salaried employees.

Dock Redu ces salaried employees wage; does not affec t hourly employees.

Paid (Above Salary) Increases salaried employees wage; does not affect hourly employees.

Rate Used to calculate the employee's rate of pay for any absence time.

Wage Group Defines the Secondary Wage Group used to calculate the above rate of pay.

Accrual Policy You can choose an Accrual Policy that governs the withdrawal of banked time. Absent time can both be paid out and withdrawn from an Accrual Policy at the same time. For

example, if you want to only withdraw hours from the Accrual Policy set the Rate to 0, and Accrual Rate to 1.0. This will cause TimeTrex to allow time off without pay.

Accrual Rate The rate at which hours are withdrawn from the Accrual Policy. For example, to withdraw time and pay it out, you would set the Accrual Rate to 1.00 and set Rate to 1.00.

Meal Policies

Meal policies have several purposes. The primary purpose is to define when TimeTrex can expect an employee to take lunch, so it knows to set the default Punch Type to Lunch. The second purpose is to specify the

duration of the meal time, or if the meal time should automatically add to or subtract from the shift time for the employees to which the meal policy applies.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Meal Policies.


dari 53 09/01/2015 23:56



FIELD DESCRIPTION

Type Specifies if this meal policy defines a window for default ing punch types to lunch, or if i t wil l be used to modify employees' total time for the day.

Type DESCRIPTION

Normal Used to determine the lunch time an employee is expected to take for scheduling purposes, or a time window when the employee is expected to punch

out for lunch so TimeTrex can default the punch type for the employee.

Auto-Deduct Will automatically deduct the meal time from employees' time once their shift exceeds the Active After interval. This is useful when employees are not

paid for lunch and they won't be punching in or out for lunch.

Auto-Add Setting Type to Auto-Add will cause an automatic addition of the Meal Time to the employees' time after their shift exceeds the Active After interval.

This is useful when employees are paid for lunch, but you want to have them punch In/Out for tracking purposes. Setting Type to Normal means that

meal policies are used to determine the lunchtime an employee is expected to take for scheduling purposes.

Setting Type to either Auto-Deduct or Auto-Add will reveal two other fields:

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Include Any Punched

Time for Meal

Checking this box will cause TimeTrex to adjust the meal time by the difference between what an employee punches and what the meal policy defines.

This is used when you pay employees for a 30-minute lunch, but still have them punch in and punch out so you can track if they take more then 30

minutes. You do not want to pay them for any time that exceeds the 30-minute interval. Consider this example: You want to pay employees for a

maximum 30-minute lunch. With a 30-minute Auto-Add meal policy, when an employee punches out for a 30-minute lunch, they will not (by default)

be paid for that time because they are punched out, or off the clock. However, TimeTrex will apply this meal policy and add 30 minutes to their total paid

time, so they are paid for a lunch. Subsequently, if the employee punches out for a 45-minute lunch, TimeTrex will only add 30 minutes of paid time.

They will not be paid for the extra 15 minutes that they took for lunch.

Deduction/Addition Time This is the amount of time that will be added or deducted based on the selected Type.

Active After This is amount of time that a shift must exceed before this meal policy is activated. For example, an employee might punch in for only 4 hours and then punch out to go home sick.

You may not want to deduct the usual 1-hour lunch from their shift. In this case, you could set the Active After to 5 hours, so that a lunch deduction will only occur when an employee

works at least 5 hours. As with Overtime Policies, you can specify multiple meal policies, each having a different Active After interval. You can configure it so employees who work

4-hour shifts will only receive a 30-minute lunch, and employees who work 6-hour shifts receive a 1-hour lunch.

Meal Time When Type is set to Auto-Add or Auto-Deduct, this interval defines the length of time that adds or deducts from the total shift time for all employees to whom this policy applies.

Auto-Detect Meals By This setting determines how TimeTrex auto-detects meals.

Auto-Detect Meals By DESCRIPTION

Punch Time Will use a minimum and maximum value to constrain the interval that an employee takes for a meal. You must specify two additional values, described

below.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Minimum Punch

Time

The minimum amount of time that an employee can punch out for Lunch. For example, if employees usually take a lunch that is

approximately 60 minutes in length, you can set this value to 45 minutes.

Maximum Punch

Time

The maximum amount of time that an employee can punch out for Lunch. For example, if employees usually take a lunch that

is approximately 60 minutes in length, you can set this value to 75 minutes.

Time Window Will cause lunch punches to be detected relative to the employees' first punch of their shifts.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Start Window Amount of time that must elapse after the employees' first punch before their next punch is defaulted to lunch. For example if

an employee punches in at 8:00 AM and usually goes for lunch between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, setting the start window to 3hours would cause TimeTrex to interpret any punch that happens 3 hours after the first punch as being Lunch.

Window Length The length of time after the Start Window that TimeTrex continues to default punches to lunch. When outside this window,

punches will default to Normal. For example, if an employee normally starts their lunch within a 2-hour window (for example,

between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM), then you would set this value to 2 hours.

Break Policies

Break Policies have several uses. The primary use is to indicate when the TimeTrex system should expect an employee to take one or more breaks so it automatically set the Punch Type to Break. The second use for

Break Policies is to determine how long the break time should be, or specify that the break time automatically adds (pay) or deducts (dock) from the shift time for employees to whom the policy applies.

Break Policies function almost identically to Meal Policies, except for one difference. If you specify multiple Break Policies, each one activates after the actual break time matches the Active After time. (As with

multiple Meal Policies, TimeTrex only uses the one that exceeds the Active After time.) This feature gives you the flexibility of configuring multiple breaks, each having a different length of time and Active After

setting.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Break Policies.


dari 53 09/01/2015 23:56



FIELD DESCRIPTION

Type Specifies if this Break Policy defines a window for default ing punch types to break, or if i t wil l be used to modify the employees' total t ime for the day.

Type DESCRIPTION

Normal Used to determine the break time an employee is expected to take for scheduling purposes, or a time window where the employee is expected to punch

out for break so TimeTrex can default the punch type for the employee.

Auto-Deduct Automatically deducts the break time from the employees' time after their shift exceeds the Active After interval. This is useful when the employees are

not paid for break, and they w on't be punching in or out for break.

Auto-Add Setting Type to Auto-Add will cause an automatic addition of the break time to the employees' time once their shift exceeds the Active After interval.

This is used when employees are paid for break, but you want them to punch In/Out for tracking purposes. Setting Type to Normal means that Break

Policies are used to determine the break time an employee is expected to take for scheduling purposes.

Setting Type to either Auto-Deduct or Auto-Add will reveal three other fields:

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Include Any Punched

Time for Break

Checking this box will cause TimeTrex to adjust the break time by the difference between what an employee punches and what the break policy defines.

This is used when you pay employees for a 30-minute break, but want them to punch in and punch out so you can track if they take more then 30

minutes. You do not want to pay them for any time that exceeds the 30-minute interval. For example, you w ant to pay employees for a maximum

30-minute break. With a 30-minute Auto-Add break policy, when an employee punches out for a 30-minute break, they will not (by default) be paid for

that time because they are punched out, or off the clock. However, TimeTrex applies this break policy and adds 30 minutes to their total paid time so

they are paid for a break. If the employee punches out for a 45-minute break, TimeTrex will only add 30 minutes of paid time. They will not be paid for

the extra 15 minutes that they took for break.

Include Multiple Breaks Allows TimeTrex to include multiple break punches when calculating the total break time. For example, if you allow employees to take 30 minutes of

break time at any point throughout the day, split into intervals (ie. three breaks in total, the first being 10 minutes, the second being 5 minutes, and the

third being 15 minutes), this option will allow the employees' flexibility over when, how long, and how many breaks they can take.

Deduction/Addition Time Is the amount of time that will be added or deducted based on the selected Type.

Active After The amount of time that a shift must exceed before this break policy is activated. For example, an employee might punch in for only 4 hours and then punch out to go home sick. You

may not want to deduct the usual break from their shift. In this case, you could set the Active After to 5 hours, so that a break deduction will only occur when an employee works atleast 5 hours. As with Overtime Policies, you can specify multiple break policies, each having a different Active After interval. You can configure it such that employees who work

4-hour shifts will only receive a 15-minute break, and employees who work 6-hour shifts may receive a 30 minute break.

Break Time When Type is set to Auto-Add or Auto-Deduct, this interval defines the length of time that will be added or deducted from the total shift time for all employees to whom this policy

applies.

Auto-Detect Breaks By This setting determines how TimeTrex auto-detects breaks.

Auto-Detect Breaks By DESCRIPTION

Punch Time This field uses a minimum and maximum value to constrain the interval that an employee may take for a break. You must specify two additional values,

which are described below.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Minimum Punch

Time

The minimum amount of time that an employee can punch out for will be determined to be break. For example, if employees

usually take a break that is a round 15 minutes in length, you could set this value to 10 minutes.

Maximum Punch

Time

The maximum amount of time that an employee can punch out for will be determined to be break. For example if employees

usually take a break that is a round 15 minutes in length, you could set this value to 20 minutes.

Time Window Will cause break punches to be detected relative to the employees' first punch of their shifts.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Start Window Amount of time that must elapse after the employee's first punch before their next punch is defaulted to break. For example, if

an employee punches in at 8:00 AM and usually goes for Break between 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM, setting the start window to

1.5 hours would cause TimeTrex to interpret any punch that happens 1.5 hours after the first punch as being Break.

Window Length The length of time after the Start Window that TimeTrex continues to default punches to Break. Outside this window, punches

will default to Normal. For example, if an employee normally starts their Break within a 1.5-hour window (between 9:30 AM

and 11:00 AM), then you would set this value to 1.5 hours.

Schedule Policies

Schedule Policies provide a way to define specific other policies such as Meal Policies, Break Policies, Overtime Policies and Undertime Absence Policies that may be applied to an employees specific Scheduled Shift.

Any policy that is specified in the Schedule Policy will override the same type of policy that is specified in Policy Groups. For example, it can be used to apply a 30 minute Meal Policy to an employee's scheduled shift

rather than the default 1 hour Meal Policy.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Schedule Policies.

Schedule Policy Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Meal Policy Sets the Meal Policy that applies to any scheduled shift that is assigned to this policy.

Break Policy Defines one or more Break Policies that applies to any scheduled shift that is assigned to this policy.

Undertime Absence Policy This policy triggers the recording of the difference between scheduled time and recorded work time when the worked time is less than the scheduled time. For example, if an

employee was scheduled to work an 8 hour shift, and they only work 7 hours, this setting would record the 1 hour difference as an absence. Consequently, this absence could be paid,

unpaid, or docked depending on the Absence Policy settings. The primary use for this policy is for salaried employees who work less than their scheduled minimum, and the

difference results in a docking of their pay. Another use is for drawing time from the time bank Accrual Policy of an employee who works less than what is scheduled.

Overtime Policy This policy triggers the recording of the difference between scheduled time and worked time when the worked time exceeds the scheduled time.

Start/Stop Window Sets the amount of time that TimeTrex will search for an employee's schedule if they happen to punch in before their schedule starts, or punch out after their schedule ends. This is

very important if employees work split shifts. You should use a value between 1 and 2 hours. For example, an employee could be scheduled to work from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and

4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. They punch in at 7:00 AM and punch out at 1:00 PM. In this case, the Start/Stop Window would need to be at least 1 hour for TimeTrex to associate those

punches with the 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM scheduled shift.

Premium Policies

Premium policies provide a method for tracking time separately according to specific criteria, usually for the purpose of paying employees at different rates. The criteria can be specific days of the month, the time of

day that an employee works, or specific Branches, Departments, Jobs and Tasks that an employee may work on. For example, the use of premium policies is paying employees who work evening or weekend shifts, or

for special work types, such as haza rdous or dangerous pay.


dari 53 09/01/2015 23:56



NOTE: Unlike Overtime Policies, where overtime calculates against regular time and a single overtime policy at a time, premium policies are non-exclusive. For example, if you have a weekend premium policy

and an evening premium policy, and the employee works an evening shift on a weekend, they could have double premium time hours than the time that they actually work.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Premium Policies.


dari 53 09/01/2015 23:56



FIELD DESCRIPTION

Type There are many types of premium policies to choose from and depending on the type, there may be additional options on the main tab and the other tabs that you should consider.

Type DESCRIPTION

Date/Time Specify the cri teria based on the date or t ime that an employee works.

Date/Time Criteria Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Start Date The date on which this policy becomes active. If you don’t specify a date, then the policy is always active.

End Date The date on which this policy becomes inactive. If you don’t specify a date, then the policy is always active.

Start Time The time at which this policy becomes active. This is used for setting evening shift premiums.

End Time The t ime when this pol icy becomes inactive.Include Partial

Punches

Check this box to allow partial punches to match this policy. For example, consider a case where the start time is set to 6:00 PM

and an employee punches in at 10:00 AM and then punches out at 7:00 PM. If you don’t enable this feature, then the employee

punch will not match the criteria for this policy and the employee will not receive any premium time. However, if you enable

this feature, then partial punches may count towards premium time, so the employee would r eceive premium time from 6:00

PM to 7:00 PM, or one hour in total.

Active After Daily

(Regular) Hours

The minimum amount of regular time that an employee must work on a given day before this policy activates.

Active After Weekly

(Regular) Hours

The minimum amount of regular time that an employee must work in a given week before this policy activates.

Effective Days In this field you check off the days of the week that this policy is to be active. This is useful for weekend premiums.

Shift Differential Shift differential policies allow you to pay employees at different rates depending on the branch, department, job, job group, task or task group they

work.

Differential Criteria Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Selection Type Defines the selection criteria for each field, either "All," "Only Selected," or "All Except Selected." If you choose "OnlySelected" or "All Except Selected" you should select one or more items in the boxes below.

Exclude Default Check the box to enable this option, which sets TimeTrex to ignore the Default Branch (as defined in each employee's record).

For example, if you want all employees who work outside their default branch to receive this premium, you can enable this

option and set the selection type to All Branches.

Meal Break Choosing this type allows you to define the maximum time that an employee can work without a break before they receive additional compensation.

Meal/Break Criteria Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Active After Daily

Hours

The minimum amount of regular time that an employee must work on a given day before this policy activates.

Maximum Time

Without a Break

The maximum amount of time that an employee can work w ithout lunch or a break.

Minimum Time

Recognized As a

Break

The minimum amount of time that an employee must take for lunch or break before it counts as a lunch or break and excludes

the employee from this policy. For example, this policy defines that if an employee doesn't take at least a 30 minute break after

working 4 hours, they get paid for one additional hour. If you set this value to 30 minutes and the employee only takes a 15

minute break, they will still get paid for one additional hour.

Callback Choosing this type will mean that you can compensate employees for callbacks to work before the amount of time you specify elapses between two

successive shifts.

Callback Criteria Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Minimum Time

Between Shifts

The minimum amount of time that must elapse between shifts.

First Shift Must Be

At Least

The amount of time that the first shift must exceed before this policy activates.

Minimum Shift Time By choosing this type, you can make a simple policy of the minimum amount of time that an employee will receive each shift.

Minimum Shift Time Criteria Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Minimum Shift Time The minimum shift time that an employee will receive. For example, if this value is set to 04:00 (4 hours) and the employee

punches out for one hour, the employee will receive three hours of premium time to make the total work time and premium timeequal to the value of the minimum shift time.

Holiday When this type is selected, it will apply to time employees work on a holiday, as defined by Holiday Policies.

Advanced This type is a combination of the Date/Time and Shift Differential types. You will see both tabs related to those types appear, and you can set the

options on both tabs.

Minimum Time The minimum amount of premium time that the employee will receive. For example, if you set the minimum to 4 hours and an employee only punches in for 2 hours, they will still

receive 4 hours of premium time.

Maximum Time The maximum amount of premium time that the employee will receive. For example, if you set this to 1 hour and an employee punches in for 4 hours, they will receive only 1 hour of

premium time.

Include Meal Policy in

Calculation

Check this box to specify that any meal policy time will be part of the premium time calculation. For example, if you enable this option and a meal policy automatically deducts 30

minutes of lunch time from each employee, that 30 minutes will also deduct from any premium time that the employee receives.

Include Break Policy in

Calculation

Check this box to specify that any break policy time will be part of the premium time calculation.

Pay Type In this f ie ld you can choose the formula to use when paying employees for premium time.


dari 53 09/01/2015 23:56



Pay Type DESCRIPTION

Pay Multiplied By Factor If you choose Pay Multiplied By Factor, you enter a Rate that is the multiplier for the regular hourly rate of the employee.

NOTE: Due to the fact that premium policies are non-exclusive as described above, the rate is automatically adjusted by -1.0, so in order to use the

employees full hourly rate you would need enter a rate of 2.0

Pay + Premium If you choose Pay + Premium, you enter a Premium amount that adds to the regular hourly rate of the employee.

Flat Hourly Rate

(Relative to Wage)

Choosing Flat Hourly Rate means that a flat hourly rate will replace the regular rate for the employees to which this policy applies. Since employees

always get their regular rate r egardless of premium time, the flat hourly rate is related to their regular rate. If you set this value to be less than the regular

rate, there may be a negative line item amount on their pay stub to account for the difference. If this is set to a value higher than regular rate, the

premium line item on the employee's pay stub will show the difference between the two rates. For example, if the employee is paid $10/hour as their

regular rate and the flat hourly rate for the premium is $15/hour, TimeTrex will calculate $5/hour as the premium rate. For the Flat Hourly Rate setting,

you will need to choose a Wage Group.

Flat Hourly Ra te Similar to the above Flat Hourly Rate (Relative to Wage) however its not relative to the employees wage, so no adjustments to the specified hourly

rate are made.

Minimum Hourly Rate

(Relative to Wage)

Will use the higher of the two hourly rates, either the one specified in the premium policy, or the one specified in the employees wage record for the

specified wage group, then it will adjust relative to the employees wage so only the difference in w age is used.

Minimum Hourly Rate Will use the higher of the two hourly rates, either the one specified in the premium policy, or the one specified in the employees record

Pay Stub Account This is where you set the account for the pay stub to cover any hours that match this premium policy. You should use a different pay stub account for each premium policy that has a

different rate of pay.

Accrual Policy You can choose an accrual policy that governs the depositing of premium hours. This is useful for time banks. Premium time can both pay out and deposit to an accrual policy at the

same time. If you wish to only deposit premium hours to an accrual policy, set the Rate to 0, which causes TimeTrex to cancel the pay out of any premium time that matches this

criteria.

Holiday Policies

You can setup holidays to support non-working time or payroll benefits, and to automatically record holiday time for employees after considering specific criteria such as the number of days in employment with the

company prior to the holiday. With regular holiday policies, you can manually setup holidays each year. If you prefer more automation, you can setup Recurring Holidays, and then return to this feature to select from

the Recurring Holidays drop-down list. TimeTrex allows you to enter these holidays one time and it will automatically apply them each year.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Holiday Policies.

Default Schedule Status Specifies whether an employee assigned to this policy is scheduled as absent or working by default on a holiday.

Recurring Holidays Defines the recurring holidays that apply to this policy. The holidays in this drop-down list are setup in Recurring Holidays.

NOTE: At any time, supervisors can manually enter holiday time for individual employees—whether or not the day is a holiday.

NOTE: Specific holiday dates can be added or modified at any time, by going to Policy -> Holiday Policies, clicking Edit on the specific Holiday Policy, then click on the Holidays tab. Keep in mind if you are

adding or modifying holidays in the past you will have to r ecalculate employees timesheets.

Recurring Holidays

Recurring Holidays are holidays that repeat each year. TimeTrex allows you to enter these holidays just one time, and it automatically applies them in each subsequent year. The holidays you setup here feed the

Recurring Holiday drop-down list that is found when you create the Holiday Policies.

Most holidays (especially those in North America) can be configured as recurring holidays; you will not need to remember to manually create them each year.

It is important to note that on a nightly basis, Recurring Holidays are automatically added to the Holiday tab in each Holiday Policy that the Recurring Holiday is assigned too. Therefore if you create or modify a

Special Day Used to determine special holidays that do not occur on a regular schedule, such as Good Friday or Easter.

Type Specifies the type of recurring holiday.

Type DESCRIPTION

Static Holidays that occur on the same day of the same month each year.

Dynamic - Week Interval Holidays that occur on a specific week on the same month each year.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Week Interval The week of the month that the holiday occurs on. For example, you might specify a Thanksgiving holiday as the 4th Thursday

in November.

Day of Week The day of the week that the holiday occurs on.

Dynamic - Pivot Day Holidays that occur on or around another day of the same month each year. For example, you might configure the holiday to occur on the Friday that

occurs before the 8th day of May.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Day of Week The day of the week that the holiday occurs on.

Pivot Direction This field determines whether the holiday occurs Before, After, On or Before, or On or After the Day of the Month.

Always on Week Day This adjusts the holiday so it always occurs on a week day.

Policy Groups

You can use policy groups to apply specific policies to one or more employees. Later, you can reconfigure the application of these policies to new employees, or a different mix of employees. There is no limit to the

number of policy groups that you may create and manage. However, you may only assign an employee to a single policy group at any given time.

For example, if you have employees who only work the night shift, and other employees who work only during the day shift, you could create two separate policy groups and define different policies (such as overtime

or premium) for each distinct group. Another common policy group configuration is to designate employees who are exempt from overtime pay versus those employees who are not exempt from overtime.

WARNING: Modifying policies or policy groups will only affect data that users add or modify after the you commit the policy changes. To apply policy changes retroactively, you must recalculate employee

timesheets by going to Attendance > TimeSheet, then click on a punch ce ll to bring up the context menu and then click Recalculate TimeSheet icon.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Policy Groups.

Job Costing

Jobs

In addition to tracking employees time by Branch and Depa rtment, you can also use Jobs to get additional information on how they spend their time. This is particularly useful for companies thathave their employees working on multiple jobs. For example, if you have carpenters that work on more than one construction project, you only want to bill each customer for the work that is

completed on their specific project.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Jobs.

NOTE: By default, all employees can work on any job. If you need to apply r estrictions to which employees can work on a job, you need to change the settings in the Employee Criteria tab.

Payroll

The Payroll features allow you to configure, edit, and save the information specific to your company's payroll. You can create and manage pay stubs and amendments. You can enter pay periods on

a manual schedule or setup recurring pay period schedules. In addition, you can configure taxes, deductions, and establish pay stub accounts that link to the company's accounting system. After

making all your payroll configurations, you can use the Process Payroll Wizard to simplify the generation of your payroll.

Pay Stub Accounts

Before you can generate pay stubs or properly configure policies, you must first setup pay stub accounts. Pay stub accounts are similar to line item accounts in a general ledger. Employee earnings

are deposited into Earning pay stub accounts and deductions go into e ither Employee or Employer deduction accounts.

As you prepare to configure your pay stub accounts, remember that earning accounts withdraw from acc ruals, and deduction accounts deposit into accruals. This feature is commonly used for keeping track of accruing

vacation pay. For example, you would create a Vacation Accrual account of type Accrual and a Vacation Accrual Release account of type Earning with Vacation Accrual set as the accrual account. Then Vacation

Accrual Release amounts are automatically withdrawn from Vacation Accrual. This method can also be used to keep track of employee loans.

NOTE: Avoid using Other for an earning or deduction pay stub account. If you use it for miscellaneous items, such as a special employee award, a cell phone charge, or reimbursement for travel expenses, you will

not be able to break down and calculate an accurate total for each line item.

As an option, you can enter values for Debit Account and Credit Account fields. These identifiers are for mapping the TimeTrex accounts to account numbers in your general ledger (GL) of your accounting system.

You do not need to map all TimeTrex accounts to individual GL accounts. If you want to combine two or more TimeTrex accounts in to a single GL account, you enter the same account number.

Example 1: If you want Provincial/State and Federal income tax to be combined in to a single GL account, you would give them the same account number, such as 2330.

Example 2: If you combine all the TimeTrex earnings accounts in to a single GL account number of 2300, enter 2300 for the TimeTrex "Total Gross" account.

To add a pay stub account, click Payroll in the menu bar, click Pay Stub Accounts in the icon bar, and then click the listing at the bottom of the page and select the New icon also located in the icon bar.

See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Pay Stub Accounts.

After you map the pay stub accounts, you can go to Report > Payroll Reports > General Ledger Summary. There you can select the filtering criteria, select the export format that you want at the bottom of the

screen, and then press the Export button. Save this file to your hard disk and import it in to your accounting software.

Taxes / Deductions

The Taxes/Deductions feature allows you to define specific calculations, or formulas, and apply them to employee pay stubs. However, this feature encompasses more than taxes or deductions. It includes many other

aspects of employee pay stubs, such as ea rnings, employer deductions, and accruals. By default, Taxes/Deductions apply to every pay period. If necessary, you can assign them to individual employees. In addition,

they can be ignored if the eligibility criteria are not met, or if the calculation formula results in a zero value.

The taxes and deductions that you configure here will apply to your employees, and will appear in the Tax tab for each employee in the Employees listing (Employee > Employees). Before you configure a tax /

deduction item, you should review the definitions and examples of the different calculation types.

To add a tax or deduction type:

Click Payroll in the menu bar, and then click Taxes / Deductions in the icon bar.1.

Click the listing at the bottom of the page.2.

Calculations DESCRIPTION

Percent Enter a simple percentage, such as 1.00% or 5.00%.

Advanced Percent This is a complex calculation with two additional criteria: Annual Wage Base/Maximum Earnings and Annual Deduction Amount.

Advanced Percent DESCRIPTION

Percent Enter a simple percentage.

Annual Wage

Base/Maximum

Earnings

This is the maximum annual limit to which the percentage will apply. For example, setting this value to $40,000 will cause this

calculation to disable after the employee has earned this amount during the year.

Annual Deduction

Amount

This is the annual amount that deducts from the calculation. For example, if you set this value to $5,000, this calculation will

not apply to the first $5,000 of the employee’s earnings.

Advanced Percent (Range

Bracket)

This complex percentage calculation requires four additional criteria: Annual Deduction Amount, Annual Amount Greater Than, Annual Amount Less

Than, and Annual Fixed Amount. The calculation only applies when the annual amount is higher than the value given in Annual Amount Greater Than

and lower than the Annual Amount Less Than value. You may employ multiple Advanced Percent (Range Bracket) deductions together to ca lculate

amounts for one or more brackets.

Advanced Percent

(Range Bracket)

DESCRIPTION


Annual Deduction

Amount

Enter the amount of the deduction.

Annual Amount

Greater Than

Enter the lowest amount for the range.

Annual Amount Less

Than

Enter the highest amount for the range.

Annual Fixed

Amount

Enter a fixed amount for this deduction.

For example:

Greater Than Less Than Percent

$5,000 $10,000 1%

$10,000 $20,000 2%

$20,000 $30,000 3%

Advanced Percent (Tax

Bracket)

This is another complex percentage calculation similar to the Advanced Percent (Range Bracket) calculation. The difference is that this ca lculation is

done when the value for Deduction Amount exceeds the value for Annual Exempt Amount. You can use multiple Advanced Percent (Tax Bracket)

deductions to act as a complete tax formula. This calculation causes TimeTrex to forego calculation if the estimate is that the employee will e arn less

than $1,000 for the entire year. If the employee actually earns more, then a calculation of 8% will apply against any amounts between $1,000-9,999,

8.5% on any amounts between $10,000-19,999, and 9.0% on any amounts over $20,000.

Advanced Percent

(Tax Bracket)

DESCRIPTION


Annual Wage

Base/Maximum

Earnings

Enter the base wage or maximum annual earnings.

Annual Deduction

Amount

Enter the deduction amount.

Annual Exempt

Amount

Enter the amount that is exempt.

For example:

Name Exempt Amount Wage Base Amount Percent

Bracket 1 $1,000 $9,999 8.0%

Bracket 2 $10,000 $19,999 8.5%

Bracket 3 $20,000 $0 9.0

Advanced Percent (Tax

Bracket Alt.)

This is another complex tax bracket calculation. The calculation only applies when the annual amount is less than the Annual Deduction Amount, higher

than the Annual Amount Greater Than value, and lower then the Annual Amount Less Than value. After the calculation, the value for Annual Fixed

Amount is added to the end result. This calculation is different from the Advanced Percent (Tax Bracket) because only a single bracke t in a group may

apply to an employee. Each individual bracket is designed to be the entire tax formula and function on its own. The final result is the same as an

Advanced Percent (Tax Bracket), but it is just a different way to get there.

Advanced Percent

(Tax Bracket Alt.)

DESCRIPTION


Annual Deduction

Amount

Enter the amount of the annual deduction.

Annual Amount

Greater Than


Annual Amount Less

Than


Annual Fixed

Amount

Enter the annual fixed amount.

For example:

Name Greater Than Less Than Percent Fixed Amount

Bracket 1 $0 $10,000 5.0% 0

Bracket 2 $10,001 $20,000 10.0% $500

Bracket 3 $20,001 $999,999 15.0% $1500

In this example, TimeTrex will calculate 5% if the employee earned between $0 and $10,000. If the employee earns more than this, there will be no

calculation for the first bracket and TimeTrex moves on to the next bracket. If the employee earns between $10,001 and $20,000, then 10% would be

calculated on the amount earned between 10,000 and $20,000 with the Fixed Amount being added at the end. Only a single bracket is ever applied


dari 53 09/01/2015 23:56



because the fixed amount is always the total tax amount that would be calculated from all previous brackets.

Fixed Amount Ente r an amount that is fixed.

Fixed Amount (Range

Bracket)

This complex fixed-amount calculation has multiple criteria: Amount, Annual Deduction Amount, Annual Amount Greater Than, and Annual Amount

Less Than. The fixed amount only applies when the Amount minus the Annual Deduction Amount is higher than the value of Annual Amount Greater

Than and lower than the Annual Amount Less Than value.

Fixed Amount

(Range Bracket)

DESCRIPTION

Amount Enter a fixed amount.

Annual Deduction

Amount

Enter the annual fixed amount.

Annual AmountGreater Than


Annual Amount Less

Than


Fixed Amount (w/Target) This is a fixed-amount calculation that only applies when the value of the year-to-date for the included pay stub accounts does not equal or exceed the

value of Target Balance/Limit. This calculation is useful for automatic processing of loans. For example, you can deduct $100 from an employee's pay

stub until the Loan Accrual value reaches $0. Another example would be for uniform reimbursements where you r eimburse each employee $10 on each

pay stub until they have been paid a total of $100.

Pay Stub Amendments

Pay Stub Amendments provide a method for making specific, individual changes to employee pay stubs that cannot be performed automatically within the Taxes / Deductions feature. By default, Taxes/Deductions

apply to every pay period. Pay stub amendments allow you to define specific calculations, or formulas, and apply them to all employee pay stubs or to individual employees. In addition, they may be ignored if the

eligibility criteria are not met or if the calculation formula results in a zero value. Examples of such changes are: bonuses, pay advances, employee loans, and reimbursements to petty cash.

To add a pay stub amendment, do the following:

Click Payroll in the menu bar, and then click Pay Stub Amendments in the icon bar.1.


Complete the fields in the Pay Stub Amendment tab.3.

Click the Save icon to save your changes, or click Cancel to discard.4.

NOTE: 1. Post dating "Pay Stub Amendments" is common practice and can be useful when you enter a holiday bonus several weeks in advance. When generating pay stubs, any amendments having effective dates

set between the pay period start and end date will be used.

NOTE: 2. Year to Date Adjustment is used when you migrate from another payroll package in the middle of the year and you want to carry over year-to-date amounts for tax or deduction purposes. You should

only use this only once for each employee per pay stub account. The effective da te must fall between the start and end date of the employee's first pay per iod.

WARNING: 1. Anytime you add or modify pay stub amendments, you must recalculate employee pay stubs for those changes to take effect. Under normal circumstances, you should enter all pay stub amendments

for all employees at one time and then generate pay stubs when you finish. However, if you enter them individually or generate pay stubs multiple times, you need to recalculate the pay stubs each time.

WARNING: 2. Since TimeTrex is a 24-hour system, you should not create pay stub amendments that ar e effective on the first or last day of any pay period. If a pay period starts on 01-Oct-12 at 12:01 AM and a

pay stub amendment is effective on 01-Oct-12 at 12:00 AM, it may not appear in the pay period that you expect. You should allow at least one day after the start of the pay period, one day before the end of the pay

period, or set it to a day in the middle of the pay period.

Deductions or Net Pay amounts.

WARNING: This should only be used when performing a mid-year migration to TimeTrex from a previous payroll system for the purposes of carrying over Year To Date

amounts to be included in the very first pay period calculated in TimeTrex. Also note that Year To Date adjustments handled this way will not be included in the Total Gross, Total

Deductions or Net Pay pay stub accounts, so this must be taken into consideration when configuring tax reports.

Recurring Pay Stub Amendments

Recurring pay stub amendments are amendments that you configure to occur at a specific frequency, most commonly at each pay period. They are useful for recurring earnings or deductions, such as employee

contributions to group benefit plans or union dues.

NOTE: Taxes / Deductions offer a similar, but more advanced calculation options. However, the frequency of recurrence is once each pay period.

To add a recurring pay stub amendment, do the following:

Click Payroll in the menu bar, and then click Recurring PS Amendments in the icon bar.1.


Complete the fields in the Recurring Pay Stub Amendment Tab.3.Click the Save icon to save your changes, or click Cancel to discard.4.

Pay Period Schedules

Pay period schedules are critical to the operation of TimeTrex because they define when a pay period begins and ends. In addition, the schedule defines the transaction date, which is the date that employees are paid.

While most companies use only a single pay period schedule, TimeTrex allows for multiple pay period schedules. However, you can only a ssign an employee to one pay period schedule at a time.

Pay period schedules constantly repeat themselves, similar to recurring schedules for employees. When you add a new pay period schedule, you define one or two full pay period start and transaction days. TimeTrex

automatically determines the schedule pattern and repeats it indefinitely.

If you pay by check, you should set at least one day between the end of the pay period and the transaction date. If you pay by direct deposit, you should allow two business days. This gives the supervisors and

employees enough time to submit requests and complete any outstanding authorizations before payment is finalized. If a holiday falls at the end of a pay period, you should leave a buffer of 5 to 7 days.

To create a pay period schedule, perform these steps.

Click Company in the menu bar, and then click Pay Period Schedules in the icon bar.1.

An inset page will appear with two tabs: Pay Period Schedule and Advanced.2.



See the Basic Operation section for details on viewing, adding, editing and deleting Pay Period Schedules.

Advanced Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Overtime Week Select the start and end of a week with respect to overtime or premium policies. For example, if an employee is eligible for overtime after working 40 hours, this setting specifies the

day on which the overtime hours will begin. It does not need to coincide with your pay pe riod dates.

Time Zone Select the time zone used for this pay period schedule. TimeTrex is a 24-hour system, capable of operating in any country around the world. This feature is very important for a

company having locations in different time zones, where they need to define the exact time that overtime and each pay period starts and ends.

Minimum Time-off Between

Shifts

Enter the minimum amount of time that must occur between out and in punches before TimeTrex will start a new shift for an employee. It is only used for shifts that span midnight.

For example: If an employee punches out on 15-Jan-12 at 11:30 PM for lunch and punches back in on 16-Jan-12 (the next day) at 12:30 AM, in order to combine these two sets of

times into a single shift, the Minimum Time-Off Between Shifts must be set to at lea st 1 hour. If your employees work split shifts around midnight, or leave for extended breaks, this

setting should be high enough to include the longest break that any employee may take and still continue their shift.

Maximum Shift Time Enter the maximum time that a single shift can extend. It also defines how many prior hours that TimeTrex will search when trying to pair punches. It is important that this setting is

not too high or too low. If this option is set too high (such a s 24:00), there could be some confusion.

For example: When an employee punches in at 8:00 AM and forgets to punch out at 5:00 PM, and then comes in the next morning at 8:00 AM, TimeTrex will search backwards to 24

hours to determine if there is an in-punch without a matching out-punch. If it finds one, it would incorrectly calculate that the employee is punching out for a long shift and the

employee's timesheet would be incorrect. Therefore, it is very important that Maximum Shift Time be set to a value that is no more than one hour longer than the longest possible

shift an employee may work, usually no more than 16 hours.

When training employees, you should emphasize that while making a punch, the employee is given the opportunity to set the punch type/status. The employee can avoid the situation

described in the previous example by forcing the punch status to IN rather than leaving the TimeTrex default that is specified as OUT.

Assigns Shifts To Specify the day a shift is assigned to when i t spans midnight.

Assigns Shifts To DESCRIPTION

Day They Start On The shift is assigned to the day when the first in punch occurs.

Day They End On The shift is assigned to the day when the last in punch occurs.

Day With Most Time

Worked

The shift is assigned to the day when most of the hours worked occurs.

Each Day (Split At

Midnight)

The shift is split and any time worked is assigned to the day when it actually occurred.

TimeSheet Verification Select who will do the verification from the drop-down box.

TimeSheet Verification DESCRIPTION

Disabled Timesheet Verification is not in use.

Employee Only Employees (Subordinates) are only required to verify their timesheets.

Superior Only Superiors are only required to verify their timesheets.

Both Employee &

Superior

Both employee and Superior are required to verify their timesheets.

By default, employees can only verify timesheets after the pay period ends and before the transaction date. However, you can specify the number of days when the Verification

Window Starts and Verification Window Ends, and use negative values here to extend the window in either direction.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Verification Window

Starts

Enter the number of days before the pay period end date.

Verification Window

Ends

Enter the number of days before the transaction date.

NOTE: These settings are entirely different from the Start Weeks On setting found in MyAccount > Preferences. That setting is a display option for each employee, and it doesn’t affect the calculation of

overtime.

NOTE: These settings can significantly affect overtime calculations, so use them carefully.

Pay Periods

To pay employees regularly, you should establish Pay Period Schedules. A pay period consists of a start date, pay end date, and transaction (payment) date. After creating a pay period, you can then process the

payroll.

NOTE: If you would rather c reate pay periods manually, then it is critical that there are no gaps, or unassigned days, between pay periods. Otherwise, employee punches that occur during a gap won’t be assigned

to any pay period and inaccurate reporting will be the result.

To add a pay period, do the following:

Click Payroll in the menu bar, and then click Pay Periods in the icon bar.1.


An inset page will appear which contains severa l fields.3.


Click the Save icon to save your changes, or click Cancel to discard.5.

Pay Period Tab

FIELD DESCRIPTION

Status Select a status for the pay period.

Status DESCRIPTION

Open The pay period is open and day-to-day operations including punches and t imesheet modifications are al lowed.

Locked-Pending

Approval

The pay period is locked to prevent changes from being made to timesheets while payroll is being processed. If changes are necessary, the status can be

changed to open again at anytime. When all the changes are finished and payroll is processed, the status can be changed to Closed.

Closed Once payroll for the pay period has been processed and the employees have been paid, the pay period status should be set to Closed, signifying that the

pay period has been completed. Closing the pay period allows employees to view their pay stubs in addition preventing accidental changes from being

made to the pay period that may cause discrepancies between your records. Closed pay periods can be set to Post Adjustment status at anytime if

corrections are necessary.

NOTE: Pay periods left OPEN five days afte r their transaction date may be closed automatically.

Post Adjustment This status is used when corrections need to be made to pay periods that have already been processed and Closed. It is similar to the open status, except

that additional features are enabled to help make corrections in addition to audit logs being recorded to indicate that changes were made after payroll was

already processed. After the corrections have been completed, the status should be set back to Closed.

Pay Period Schedule Select a schedule from the drop-down.

Start Date Select a pay period start date from the calendar.

End Date Select a pay period end date from the calendar.

Transaction Date Select a pay period transaction date from the calendar.

Processing Payroll

Since the most prominent Payroll feature is processing payroll, the icon for this feature is the first one on the left when you click the Payroll menu. You process payroll in TimeTrex by using a step-by-step tool called a

wizard. However, before you start to process payroll, you must ensure that all aspects of payroll are correctly configured.

To process payroll, click Payroll in the menu bar and then click Process Payroll in the icon bar. The Payroll Wizard that has nine steps will start.

Choosing the pay period that you want to process. Then click at the bottom of the page.1.

Verify the start, end, and transaction dates. If there are pending requests, you should confirm and clear the requests by using the Requests icon.2.

Confirm that there are no critical exceptions, such as missing punches. If there are critical exceptions, resolve them by clicking the Exceptions icon.3.

Confirm that the timesheets are verified. Click the TimeSheet Summary icon to view the timesheets.4.

Lock the pay period to prevent changes by clicking the Lock icon.5.

Create any pay stub amendments that are necessary by clicking the Pay Stub Amendments icon. (This is an optional step and just a reminder.)6.

Generate the pay stubs and a pay stub summary report to review. The review should be done before transferring funds for employee direct deposits.7.

Transfer funds for direct deposit to employee bank accounts, or write checks for employees. Click the icon to review a Payroll Export Report.8.

Close the pay period by clicking .9.

Adjusting a Closed Pay Period

Sometimes it may be required to make minor adjustments to a c losed pay period after payroll has already been processed and the employees have a lready been paid. In order to a llow for such cases, TimeTrex offers its

"Post Adjustment" functionality where corrections can be made in previous pay periods and the adjusting dollar amounts can be automatically brought forward into the current pay period to be paid.

The first step is to set a pay period to the "Post Adjustment" state, by following the below procedure:


Select the specific closed pay period that you want to make adjustments to.2.

Choose Edit in the icon bar, change the Status to Post Adjustment, then click Save in the icon bar.3.

Once the pay period is in Post Adjustment state, it is essentially the same as it being open, so you can now proceed to make adjustments to employee timesheets for this particular pay period.

Once you have made the necessary adjustments to the employees timesheet, while still on the employees timesheet screen click the Generate Pay Stub icon to display the Generate Pay Stub Wizard, click to

move to Step 2, then be sure to enable the checkbox at the bottom of Step 2 to calculate pay stub amendment adjustments to carry over into the next pay period. When this mode is enabled TimeTrex will determine the

difference between each line item on the employee's existing pay stub that is already paid and the adjustments that you just made. Once you have completed all the steps in the wizard TimeTrex will automatically

create Pay Stub Amendments to reflect these adjustments for both positive and negative amounts, then you will be taken to the Pay Stub Amendment list page to review the newly created amendments. These Pay

Stub Amendments will be dated the last day of the open pay period currently in progress so they will automatically be included on the next pay stubs that you generate, however you may modify these da tes by editing

the Pay Stub Amendments themselves if you wish. Proceed to each individual employee and repeat the above steps as necessary.

In summary what you did was modify the employee's timesheet to reflect the proper hours, then created Pay Stub Amendments to adjust their pay stub appropriately in the upcoming pay period.

Once you have finished making all your adjustments, it is important that you close the pay period again by doing the following:


Select the specific pay period that you just f inished making adjustments to.2.

Choose Edit in the icon bar, change the Status to CLOSED, then click Save in the icon bar.3.

WARNING: If you have made changes to any policies between the times that you originally generated employee pay stubs, and when you modified an employee's timesheet, the modified policies may affect your

adjustments.

Hardware Devices

Stand-Alone TimeClocks

Stand-Alone time clocks are an efficient and cost effective way to track employee attendance without the need and maintenance hassle of a computer.

Installation

The time clocks are designed to be easily mounted on a wall or desk. Before choosing a place to mount the clocks, make sure that your network and power cables can easily reach the clock. The back plate of the clock

can be removed and screwed to a wall or desk, then the clock can be securely mounted to the back plate with the four short screws provided. When mounting the clock to a wall, we r ecommend that you place it at eye

level for maximum comfort.

TimeClock Model: TTUS100

Requirements

TimeTrex model TTUS100 time clocks by default are configured to automatically obtain an IP address via DHCP, if a DHCP server is not present o n the network you can manually configure the time c lock to use a

static IP address instead by pressing "MENU" then navigating to "Options" -> "Comm Opt" and defining the "IP Addr", "Netmask" and "Gateway" settings. In cases where the clocks will be behind a firewall or router,

the firewall or router must allow the timeclock to connect to the TimeTrex server using port 80. TimeTrex v3.4.0 or greater is required for these devices.

Configuration

Once you have mounted the clock and connected it to your network and power cables, you may power on the clock by pressing the white circle power button on the bottom left of the keypad.

When the clock first turns on, it will attempt to automatically obtain an IP address via DHCP and initiate the TimeTrex server auto-detect process. At anytime you can press the "ESC" button to cancel the auto-detect

process and manually configure the clock. Once the clock detects the TimeTrex server it will display the IP address of the server and ask you to confirm the server by pressing "OK". Once you press "OK" the clock

will be configured and ready to start enrolling employees.

To manually configure the timeclock press "MENU", then navigate to "Options" -> "Comm Opt" -> "SoapServer IP" press "OK" and enter the IP address of the TimeTrex server. When done, press "OK" then go to

"Options" -> "Comm Opt" -> "Auto Discover" and when prompted with the server's IP address press "OK" to complete the process and initialize the timeclock.

Enrolling Employees

Enrolling Fingerprints

Menu -> User Manage -> Enroll User -> Enroll FP

The clock will ask you to enter the TimeTrex employee number or PIN of the employee that you wish to enroll the fingerprint for and press “OK”. You will then be asked to place the employees' finger on the

fingerprint sensor and then remove it, three times in a row. Once the clock has successfully scanned the employees' fingerprint three times, you will be asked to save the fingerprint by pressing “OK(Save)”. You can

press “OK” again to continue enrolling more employees, or “ESC” to go back to the menu.

Enrolling Proximity/RFID Cards

Menu -> User Manage -> Enroll User -> Enroll RFID

The clock will ask you to enter the TimeTrex employee number or PIN of the employee that you wish to enroll the proximity card for and press “OK”. You will then be asked to show the employees card, you can do

this by slowing waving the card over the right hand side of the clock until the clock beeps and displays the card number on the screen. Once the clock has successfully scanned the employees card, you can press “OK”

to confirm the card number, then press “OK(Save)” again to save the card number. Finally, you can press “OK” again to continue enrolling more employees, or “ESC” to go back to the menu.

Punching In/Out

Before employees can punch in or out, they will first need to select the punch type on the clock. They can do this using the following function keys, however the exact punch types and keys may vary depending on the

timeclock settings:

F1 = In

F2 = Out

F3 = Lunch Out

F4 = Lunch In

Once they have pressed a function key to determine the type of punch, the clock will display it in the upper right hand corner of the screen. The employees can then proceed to scan their fingerprint or proximity card to

punch in or out. It is important to note that after each punch the type does not get reset, so if multiple employees are all punching out, only the first employee needs to set the punch type and all other employees can


dari 53 09/01/2015 23:56



simply scan their fingerprint or proximity cards.

USB Devices

USB based devices, such as iButton readers, proximity card readers, barcode scanners and biometric/fingerprint readers are an inexpensive way to get all of the benefits of a hardware device at a cost lower than

stand-alone timeclocks. However these devices are not as flexible as they do require a computer to be within a few feet of the device to operate.

Client Application

The TimeTrex Client Application is used as an interface between the TimeTrex server and USB hardware devices.

Requirements

The TimeTrex Client Application requires Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 7 32-bit operating systems with the Java runtime Environment (JRE) v1.4 or greater installed. The latest version of the Java

Runtime Environment can be obtained from http://java.sun.com.

Installation

In order to install the TimeTrex Client Application you must first install the Java Runtime Environment from http://java.sun.com. Once that is installed simply double click on the TimeTrex Client executable (.exe) file,

downloaded from the Online Store download section, for the installation process to begin. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation process.

Configuration

After the installation is completed you must edit c:\timetrex_client\timetrex.ini and modify the “server=” line to specify the location of the TimeTrex server. For example:

server=http\://ondemand1.timetrex.com/soap/server.php

or

server=http\://192.168.1.9/timetrex/soap/server.php

or

server=http\://www.myserver.com/timetrex/soap/server.php

NOTE: The \ (or backslash) is required before a : (or colon).

Enrolling Employees

After installation is completed and you have properly configured the TimeTrex Client Application so it knows where to locate your TimeTrex server, you can start enrolling employees. By enrolling employees you are

telling TimeTrex which iButton/Fingerprint belongs to which employee. To do this, start the TimeTrex Client Application if it is not already running, then right click on the blue and gray TimeTrex logo in your system

tray (bottom right of the screen, near your clock) and select “Enroll”. This will popup a login screen where you must login as a TimeTrex administrator, or an employee with “Enroll” permissions. Once you have

logged in with the proper employee's username/password you will be presented with the enrollment window.

Enrolling iButtons

Select the employee you wish to enroll, then press the “Enroll” button. Now touch the iButton to the reader for one second or until a message on the screen notifies you that enrolling has completed successfully. That

employee may now use that iButton to punch In/Out to TimeTrex. If you wish to enroll multiple employees at once, you can simply select a new employee and repeat the above steps.

Enrolling Fingerprints

Select the employee you wish to enroll and the finger you will be enrolling, then press the “Enroll” button. Press the specified finger firmly on the center of the fingerprint scanner until a confirmation message appears

asking you to press the same finger on the scanner again. Lift the finger then place it on the scanner once more until a message appears saying the enrollment was successful or not. Once enrollment is successful you

can chose to enroll another finger by selecting it in the drop down box (we recommend enrolling at least two fingers), or you may choose to enroll another employee by repeating the above steps.

Stations

TimeTrex considers a station to be any device that can be used to punch in or out with. A Computer, telephone, WAP device (cell phone), fingerprint readers and iButton readers are all stations.

When you install the Client Application for the first time and enroll your first employee TimeTrex will automatically create a station in its database for that c lient application and the device you are using. By default no

employees will be allowed to punch In/Out from this station, so you must configure TimeTrex to allow specific employees before they will be able to punch In/Out. The easiest and least restrictive way to do this is to

allow ALL employees to punch In/Out from a specific type of station by creating a “wildcard” station.

To create a “wildcard” station login to TimeTrex as an administrator and go to Administration -> Company -> Stations in the menu, then click Add at the bottom of the page, select the station type (ie: “iButton” or

“FingerPrint”), enter "ANY" for the Station ID, and "ANY" for the Source. Next you will need to tell TimeTrex which employees can punch In/Out from this station, so if you click the double down arrow beside

Employee Groups, Branches, and Departments and set the Selection Type for each to “All”, then click Submit. This will allow ALL employees to punch In/Out from any station of that type.
