Q. Can my employees check their work hours on the Vetro clock? A. Yes, if you’re running in Network Mode. (Network Mode means that your clock is connected to your network and the Vetro Data Manager is running.) Here’s how: When the employee punches in their four-digit ID code, their name and accumulated work hours for the current workweek are displayed on the clock’s screen. Every employee was assigned a four-digit code when they were set up in TimePilot Central, even if they only use an iButton to clock in and out. To find an employee’s code, open their Employee Profile (TimePilot Central > Setup Menu > Profile Setup > Edit Profile). The code will be labeled “User ID.” Q. Why do I need to update my TimePilot software? And how can I do it if my computer is not connected to the internet? A. Updates are a fact of life. Software is becoming so complex (the TimePilot software alone has more than 500,000 lines of code) that virtually every reputable software company—from Microsoft to TimePilot—issues updates to their software. In fact, Microsoft has something called Patch Tuesday: it issues security updates to its software on the first Tuesday of every month. TimePilot’s updates occur less often, and have included adding features requested by customers, making changes based on customer suggestions and correcting tiny errors that might affect just a few users. In fact, if you call or e-mail TimePilot for support, one of the first questions you’ll be asked is if you’ve updated your software. Some TimePilot customers don’t connect their computers to the internet in an attempt to keep their PCs secure. That’s fine, but it’s still important to keep your TimePilot software updated. Here’s how:
