The TimePilot system 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). Instead of
using cards, employees touch a small button--usually attached
to their keychains--to a time clock station that instantly
transmits the data to the PC.
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 the TimePilot system stops just 1
minute in calculation errors per employee per day, it will
save the company $1,040 a year--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.
- Employees clock in and out using the nearly indestructible
iButton. The iButton is an electronic chip encased in a
watertight stainless steel "can" smaller than a dime. The
"can" is attached to a plastic keyfob that is attached to
the employee's keychain. Each iButton has a unique ID
number, which is detected by the timeclock station when the
employee taps his or her button to it. The iButton has a far
longer life than magstripe cards--it's guaranteed for 10
years and works as well in dirty environments as it does in
offices--and employees don't feel as fearful about a loss of
privacy as they do with biometric systems. The iButton can
also be used to open
iButton Locks, which are also available from TimePilot
Corporation.

With
TimePilot Standard, employees clock in
or out by touching the iButton to a wall- or desk-mounted station the
size of a paperback book. With TimePilot PC,
our completely software-based time and attendance system, they use their keyboard or an iButton to clock in or out.
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. |
