Highlights

Employee Time Management

User-defined Employee Types (salaried, hourly, contractor, etc.) allow you to define appropriate pay rules and work locations for employees across multiple time zones.

Pay Rules Engine

Versatile Pay Rules Engine makes determining pay associated with regular and overtime hours a breeze. Supports multiple scenarios.

Time & Labour

Job Costing tracks work, time, and expenses against three pre-defined cost centers, each allowing a virtually unlimited list of positions, departments, locations, and tasks.

Flexible Management

Flexible Accruals Management incorporates company requirements such as eligibility, tenure, and hours worked. Synchronizes with external payroll or HR systems if desired.

easy-review

Manager Review / Edit Capabilities are available on a companywide or individual level. The audit trail feature tracks and reports virtually any changes that occur.

Powerful Rate Tracking

Powerful Rate Tracking on a global or personal level includes multipliers to assess the impact of change before running payroll.

According to a survey by America Online and Salary.com:

  • More than 25% of employees' time at work is wasted on activities not related to the employer
  • Total salary dollars wasted per employee are $5,720 annually

Multiple Data Collection Options

AcroTime supports multiple data collection options to meet the needs of a wide variety of work environments and business requirements. Choose from a “virtual clock” accessed through a web browser, badge terminals, biometric devices, a smartphone app or even a telephony option that allows employees to clock in using any telephone — even land-lines. Data can be collected in real time or in a “store and forward” (polled) manner, depending on the type of data collection device and the location's connectivity.

The Right Employee in the Right Place at the Right Time

No matter what your type of business, workforce scheduling can be time-consuming, error-prone and downright frustrating. You need to match employee availability, skills and preferences with fluctuating business demands to maximize productivity and profits. But trying to schedule a diverse workforce using spreadsheets or semi-automated systems too often results in overstaffed shifts, shorthanded rushes, and less-than-optimal performance.

Our Time & Labor Management (TLM) module includes scheduling features to make the job easier. For those with more complex employee scheduling needs, we offer an optional add-on Scheduler module to help you create sophisticated schedules that accurately align staffing requirements with budget and demand.

With our Scheduler module, you can perform scheduling tasks with remarkable speed and ease, thanks to our easy, intuitive interface. Drag and drop to assign shifts. Split or swap shifts with a single click. Select multiple shifts to edit side by side. The system lets you know when scheduling actions violate established rules, so you can make adjustments and stay in compliance.

We can't promise to make scheduling fun, but with AcroTime you will save time, suffer fewer headaches, and produce effective employee work schedules more easily than you ever thought possible.
