At some point—usually at the end of a pay period—you'll want to move your employees' clock-in and clock-out data into the TimePilot database so supervisors can use TimePilot Central to prepare the data for payroll. The method depends upon whether you're using your system in Standalone Mode or Network Mode.
First, you'll have the time clock(s) download the time and attendance data onto the TimePilot USB drive. Then you'll import the data from the USB drive to the computer running the TimePilot Central software.
Two important points:
Here are step-by-step instructions:
As long as the TimePilot Service is running, each clock-in and clock-out is instantly transferred to the TimePilot database the moment it occurs.
If the Service isn't running, the clock holds the data in memory and transfers it the next time the Service is started. The clock's memory can hold 12,000 transactions: that's equivalent to 100 days of average use (8 transactions per day) by a 15-employee company.
If your network goes down for an extended period of time, you can always use the TimePilot USB drive to collect the data.
See the instructions for Standalone Mode at left for details.
