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.
- Want to raise the 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.

How does
the TimePilot PC
system work?
Employees have several ways of clocking in:
- By using the keypad on their computer keyboard. They type in their 4-digit ID number, and press "+" to
clock in and "-" to clock out.
- By clicking their PC's mouse on the TimePilot PC image on their computer screen.
- By using a touch-screen monitor and touching the on-screen keys to input their 4-digit ID.
- With the optional Blue Dot Receptor, employees touch a iButton
to the receptor to ID themselves, then clock in.
Any way it's done, the employee's clock-in or clock-out information is safely and securely recorded on the PC's hard drive.
At the same time, the TimePilot software immediately updates the In/Out
display to show whether the employee is available.
Supervisors
can use the software's password-protected Configuration Manager to set up
new employees. They use the Transaction Manager--also
password-protected--to view their employees' clock-ins and clock-outs and
make corrections and changes as needed.
Did an employee forget to clock in or out? The TimePilot software will
catch the error the next time the employee clocks in or out and flag the
problem for a supervisor to correct.
When it's time to add up the employees' hours and prepare the data for
payroll, the TimePilot software takes minutes to do a job that takes
hours by hand. It compiles the payroll data and exports it in the
correct format. Then just fire up your payroll program and import your
payroll data.
