Introduction

So what is TAS?TAS stands for Time, Attendance & Scheduling. When we use this term really we are referring to a companies’ management of those elements for their employees. Traditionally companies haveusedavarietyofmethodstodothis.Thiscouldbeacombinationofdifferentsoftware,computers, physical machines etc.

You’ve probably seen or heard of some methods companies previously used. Punchcard systems, timeclocks, card readers, phone systems, spreadsheets, email or even just bits of paper! Apart from some, these were not really designed for monitoring TAS and even those that were still had to be used in conjunction with other tools. Not only that but on most systems there was literally nothing to stop fraudulent clock ins. All of this can make TAS management confusing and time consuming.

So why is TAS so important?Well that’s a good question. What’s a company’s most important asset? It’s their employees, but, it can also be their biggest liability. Employees are often late, leave early, take long breaks, call in sick and this can really add up. There is an old adage, time is money, and when you are paying somebody for the time they spend working it literally is.

For a second let’s forget the attendance issues I just mentioned. Companies also have to employstafftomanagetheiremployees.HumanResources,supervisors,managersareallcrucial to a successful business and can be costly. Even if employees were always on time and never took a break, you still need to make schedules for your employees and ensure you have thecorrectstafflevelsatyourbusinessatalltimes.

PayrollHero & TASThis is where PayrollHero comes in. PayrollHero was designed from the ground up to facilitate correct Time, Attendance and Scheduling management. There is no longer a need to use multiple platforms to oversee this area of your business. Employees can clock in, view their schedules, take breaks and clock out all through the one piece of software.

You can create schedules, resolve attendance, view employee attendance infractions or even benotifiedoftheseautomaticallybyemail.

Not only that it makes something that is generally quite a boring task and turns it into something quick, easy and fun. This course will show you how.

Somethings you should know

System Permissions, Positions, Employee TypesThesearethethreemainsettingsthatmakeupanemployeeprofile.Itiscrucialyouunderstandtheirroles and place within the company setup.

System Permisions - What are they?SystemPermissionsisthenameforourinterfacethatenablesacompanytoallowdifferentlevelsof access to users on the company PayrollHero account. They dictate what a user can do on PayrollHero.Itallowsacompanytohavedifferenttiersofaccessfordifferentemployees.Let’slookat an example to show how this works.

Imagine a small bakery, they have 15 employees. one is the owner, a bookkeeper, two supervisors and the rest are regular employees. On PayrollHero you might set up four tiers of system permissions.

So you can see how System Permissions work. However the tiers I used are just examples. System Permissions lets you choose and fully customize the levels of access to suit your needs. You can have as manydifferenttypesofsystempermissionsasyourequire.

Tier 4 is for the regular employees. It allows them toaccesstheirownprofileandtheirownschedules.

Tier 3 would go to the supervisors. They can both see their individual teams, create schedules for them and manage their attendance.

Tier 2 would be for the bookkeeper. It allows them to see every employee, look at their schedules but he doesn’t have permission to edit the employees profiles,asthat’snotoneofhisresponsibilities.

Tier 1 is for the owner and he has full access to system he can view all the employees, resolve their attendance (we’ll get to that later) and set up schedules for everyone. He/She would have full access to the payrollhero software for the company.

Employee PositionsWhat are they?

Basically, with the employee position system you enter all the positions you have within your company. Like manager, team leader, sales assistant etc. You then create the company hierarchy. So, for example, you would probably have your manager in charge of your team leader and your sales assistant under them. The reason this is important is because it will allow you to correctly set up subordinates(afeatureIwillexplainlater)allowingyourstafftobecorrectlymanagedonthesystem.

ThresholdsThresholdsdictatehowthesystemdealswithdifferentattendanceinfractionsforeachemployeetype. They tell the system whether an employee type can clock in/out early late and what will triggernotificationalerts(somethingwewillcoverlater.)

You might want the system to notify you every time one of your store assistants is late but not when your supervisor is. Maybe HR don’t want your store assistants to clock in early but probably would want you to be able to. Thresholds control all of this.

SubordinatesSubordinates are an incredibly crucial element of TAS on PayrollHero. When it comes to managing TASofyourstaffweneedtomakesurethatthesubordinateshavebeensetupperfectlyforeachemployee you wish to perform this task. You can have as many employees as you like managing TAS but their system permissions and their subordinates need to be right

Subordinates, are all the employees under the authority of another employee. For example, you are the Company Owner. Your a manager who looks after a team. You have a supervisor who is your subordinate, but the team they manage are both the supervisor’s and your own subordinates.

However, lets say you have four supervisors and they each look after a team of ten employees. Although technically, each of those employees are the subordinates of the four supervisors you probably won’t want each manager managing all forty of those employees. With the subordinates set correctly this won’t happen.

Assigning SchedulesContinuous SchedulesThere are two types of continuous schedules that can be set up on the payroll hero system, Schedule Templates and Custom Schedules. I have already explained the purpose of schedule templates in chapter three so we are not going to dwell on that too much here. To recap, schedule templates are a group of shifts for employees who have the same ongoing weekly pattern. A time limitcanbeputonthemifneededormadetorunindefinitely.

Custom Schedules work in the same fashion as schedule templates but you just create the schedule for the employee and don’t require a template. This can be helpful when you have an employee who doesn’t share the same schedule as anyone else but still works the same shifts everyday.Forexample,youmighthaveanofficewithajanitor.Allyourofficestaffcomesin0900-1700,MondaytoFridaysoyouuseascheduletemplate.Yourjanitorworks1700till2100,Mondayto Friday so you would create him a custom schedule. You could still use schedule templates if you wanted. A custom schedule can’t be used on other employees whereas schedule template can.

Multiple same day shiftsThere are occasions where you might need an employee to work multiple shifts in one day. For example, somebody calls in sick and you need one of your employees already working to pick up that shift. If this happens, you can use the shift cal to create multiple shifts for the same employee.

How to assign multiple same day shifts

1. Follow steps 1 & 2 above. 2. Then click

3. Enter the new shift details 4. Now click on

Scheduling TabThe scheduling tab is best used in working environments that only create short term schedules. It is generally used by team leader types who have a team of less than twelve. It allows them to create schedules for that team a week at a time. It is displayed in a familiar manner that the majority of our customers who create weekly schedules prefer. This way they can quickly start to use the scheduling tab with very little experience.

How to use the Scheduling Tab

1. Go to the scheduling tab

2. Now filter the schedule page to show the employees you are looking to schedule and the week which you wish to schedule

3. Click the days you wish to editthey will go yellow once selected

4. Now click on

The actions menu works exactly as shift cal menu.

Multi Insert Tool: SchedulesThe multi insert tool can also be used to create schedules and works in a similar way to the employee creation tool that we looked at earlier. It is a good tool to use if you have to assign multiple schedules to a lot of employees. It is also in a familiar spreadsheet format that a lot of users like to use. The system automatically generates a bespoke template for you to complete. Itisdesignedspecificallyforyourcompanyanditssettings.Youcanchoosetheperiodoftimeitcoversandevenfiltertheemployeesyouwishtocreatetheschedulefor.

How to use the Multi Insert Tool to create schedules

1. Open the multi insert tool

2. Choose “Schedule Update” for the type of update

1- From - This is the date you want the period you are going to edit to start

2-To-Thisisthedateyouwanttheperiodyouare going to edit to endFilter by Tag - allows you to select only employees in a certain tag

4. Now click

5. Open the spreadsheet (leave the multi insert tool open) and input the schedule you wish for each employee. There is a legend within the spreadsheet that shows you the correct format to enter the schedules in 6. Save the spreadsheet.

7. Go back to the multi tool and direct it to your spreadsheet and then click

3. Enter the criteria for your schedule update

AttendanceAttendance PageIf you are in charge of managing TAS, your responsibilities might include reviewing and resolving employee attendance. Generally, an employee’s attendance is handled by the same person who manages their schedule. The attendance page gives you an overview of all attendance infractions for the month shown on a daily basis. It is presented in calendar form so it’s incredibly intuitive to navigate.

Above is an example of an Attendance page. As you can see, it shows every attendance issue needing to be resolved as well as the days that have no actions required.

Resolving AttendanceSo why do we have the attendance page? So we use PayrollHero to monitor the timekeeping of employees, create their schedules and make sure they are attending work. The attendance page andresolvingattendanceenablesustoboththefirstandlastofthesetasks.

So for example, if an employee hasn’t clocked in that day it will show you on the attendance page. Youcanthengoandcheckiftheemployeeisinworkandfindoutwhytheydidn’tclockin.Iftheyataren’tatwork,youcanthenfindoutiftheyareabsentorrunninglate.

Insteadofhavingtospendhoursrunningaroundensuringyourstaffarewheretheyaresupposetobe, when they are suppose to be, you can see it instantly on this one screen. If an employee is late, you can decide whether to be lenient and pay them for their whole shift or deduct the exact amount of their lateness.

The point is that you have all of this is provided to you on one page. Now you are able to credit employees with the actual hours they have actually worked.

Different types of attendance issues

• Early - The employee clocked in/out before their shift was due to start • Late - The employee clocked in/out after their shift was due to start • Overtime - The employee worked more than their scheduled hours • Undertime - The employee worked less than their scheduled hours• Missing In - There is no clock in for this employee• Missing Out - There is no clock out for this employee• Missassociated - There is no schedule associated for the clock in/out

All of these will only show if the thresholds of the Employee Type have been exceeded.

How to resolve attendance

1. Open the Attendance page

2. Click on the day that requires resolution

3. Choose the attendance issue that you wish to be resolved

4. Choose how you wish to resolve it(youroptionsmightbedifferentdependingonthetype of infraction)

example of resolutions options for missing clock in

5. Give reason for update 6. Click

Repeat steps 3 - 6 if there are multiple issues that require resolved for that day

Review PageThe review page is an overview of an employee’s attendance for the month. It is laid out in exactly thesamefashionasattendanceandcoversthesameinfractionsasthatpageexceptspecificallyfortheemployee’sprofileyouarelookingat.Itshowsyoutherollcalldaysforthatemployee.

Rollcall Days

If you click on a day from the Review page it will open up the rollcall day for that employee. Below is an example of the details section of a Rollcall day

•Date - The date of the Rollcall day your viewing•Clocked Hours - The hours clocked by the employee•Payable Hours - The portion of clocked hours that should be paid by your company•Status - Please ignore•Prepared by - This is the employee the Rollcall day pertains to•Approved by - This is the superior who has approved the rollcall day•Created - This is when the rollcall day was created

Rollcall Day Items

Rollcall Day Items are the actual actions of the employee. So when an employee has any interactions with MyClock/TeamClock this creates a Rollcall Day item. The system will look for rollcall items when evaluating attendance. If there are any missing, duplicates, extra etc. this is what creates the attendance infractions.

In some cases you might need to add a Rollcall Day Item

How to create a Rollcall Day Item

There are two ways to access the emp 1. Look up the employee you wish to edit

2. Click on “Review” in the Roll Call section

3. Select the day you wish to create the Rollcall Day Item for

2. Select the employees you wish to export the attendance for

3. Fill in the criteria for the report
