TimePilot PC makes them obsolete; saves time, money

How much would you spend to save up to 8% of your annual payroll year after year? $5,000? $10,000? More?

How about less than $250?

If time is money in your business, you need the TimePilot PC time and attendance system.

It's a revolutionary software-based time and attendance system that uses the power of the personal computer to greatly simplify employee management and payroll processing for small to medium-sized businesses.

The highlights:

• Costs only $249.
• Handles an unlimited number of employees.
• Automatically calculates work hours.
• Interfaces with all the major payroll programs and payroll services.
• Installation wizard make system setup a snap.
• Cuts payroll processing time by hours.
• Handles multiple departments, shifts, pay periods, holidays, vacations and much more.
• Works well as a stand-alone system or integrates seamlessly with a TimePilot Standard or TimePilot Extreme time and attendance system.

TimePilot PC eliminates the use of paper time cards--ending the hassle of keeping track of the cards and manually counting employees' work hours--and quickly prepares the payroll information in a format that can be handled by a variety of payroll services and accounting programs. (Click here for a list).

A study published in the American Payroll Association's magazine reports that when people count employee work hours on time cards or time sheets, they make errors totaling between 1% and 8% of a company's payroll. By using the computer to count the hours, the TimePilot system eliminates the math errors.

Here's an example of the savings for a 20-employee company that pays each worker $12 an hour: If TimePilot PC  stops just 1 minute in calculation errors per employee per day, it will save the company $1,040 a year--far more than the cost of the system!

Yet it's as feature-rich as systems costing several times as much--and it's easier to use!

Among its unique additional benefits:

• Because the computer counts the hours, it drastically cuts the amount of time needed to prepare data for payroll. One of our customers cut their preparation time from 16 hours to 20 minutes every two weeks.
• It prevents employees from altering their work times on cards or sheets (using a pen to change a 3 to an 8, for instance).
• It has a real-time "who's in/who's out" feature for companies that need to keep track of their employees but don't need to total up their work hours. As employees clock in or out, their status is instantly updated on the TimePilot In/Out Manager screen. It can be used by a receptionist who needs to know which staff members are available to take calls or visitors and which need messages taken. And supervisors can tell at a glance who's absent!
• It gives supervisors a variety of printable reports: by employee, by department or by shift.
• There's a messaging function. Supervisors can leave messages for employees--work assignments or "See me," for instance--that appear on the clock's screen the next time the employee clocks in or out.
• To eliminate "buddy-punching," the optional Biometric Fingerprint Reader can identify employees to the system by their fingerprints, giving you the ultimate in security.
• Don't need quite so high a security level? With the optional Blue Dot Receptor, a small device that attaches to the USB port of your computer, employees can use iButtons to identify themselves to the system. Each employee is issued a key-sized iButton that is unique to him or her, and they touch that to the Blue Dot Receptor to identify themselves to the system. The nearly indestructible and reusable iButton is unaffected by magnetic fields, metal detectors, water and most common chemicals.
