Does Enterprise eTIME comply with Federal Labor Standard Requirements for storing data?
The eTIME software will electronically store each employee's timecard information, eliminating the need to store paper timecards or timesheets in boxes. This electronic data storage enables you to comply with the Federal Labor Standard Requirement which states that you must save time and labor management records for up to three years.

I have multiple federal ID numbers. Can I run multiple companies from the Enterprise eTIME software?
Yes. The software can accommodate any number of company codes (Federal ID numbers).

Which ADP payroll services interface with Enterprise eTIME?
Enterprise eTIME data can be transmitted electronically directly to and from ADP PC/Payroll for Windows and Pay eXpert payroll services. Enterprise eTIME also interfaces to over 200 non-ADP payroll systems.

What is the Enterprise eTIME database structure?
Enterprise eTIME supports SQL Server or Oracle. The client supplies the database. The use of an industry-standard database allows you to interface Enterprise eTIME data with other third party software products.

Will salaried employees be required to punch in?
No. You can decide if you wish to include salaried personnel in Enterprise eTIME. A separate pay rule can be established to track their time. Or, you can use the Enterprise Professional timesheet product to track time by activity or job.

How often does the in and out punch data get from the timeclock or the HandPunch® reader to the software?
It is recommended that the clock data be downloaded to the software at least once a day. Your ADP representative can schedule this to occur automatically.

How can I purchase Enterprise eTIME?
Enterprise eTIME software is available on a subscription basis only. The electronic timeclocks and HandPunch readers can be subscribed to or purchased, depending on your preference. To contact your local ADP Representative for more details, simply contact us.

FEATURES

Can I keep track of different labor levels and perform job costing with the Enterprise eTIME software?
The Enterprise eTIME system does accommodate labor distribution/tracking. However, it does not support piecework. The Enterprise eTIME system can track up to seven levels of information, such as division, department and job. Each level can be programmed into the software. You can track the number of hours employees are spending in a division, department or job, by having employees initiate a transfer at the timeclock, at the HandPunch, or within the timesheet (Professional). The Enterprise eTIME software accepts these transfers and calculates employee hours accordingly. You can generate labor distribution reports to manage your business needs.

Can I keep track of my employees' absences, such as holidays, vacation, personal days and sick days?
The Enterprise eTIME system has the capability to assign and keep track of a variety of "non-worked" pay codes. These codes include holiday, vacation, personal and sick days. With the optional Accruals module, you can track "non-worked" hours against each employee's accrual. As you grant non-worked time to an employee, this time is taken from the employee's accrued balance. Each employee's accrual balance is determined based on your company's accrual policies. You can also interface accruals from payroll and feed this information into Enterprise eTIME - giving employees access to accruals information on their timesheet, as well as on their paycheck.

Can I install a timeclock at a remote location, for example, at our branch office across town?
Yes. You can install any number of clocks at a variety of locations. In fact, you can install a timeclock cross-town and cross-country, if need be. These remote type locations provide for the download of the information via modem or Ethernet to your Enterprise eTIME software installed at your 'home' office. The download is quick and simple and is managed right from your PC.

One of our biggest concerns is managing our overtime. Can Enterprise eTIME software track overtime hours by employee and by department?
The Enterprise eTIME software offers several methods for tracking overtime hours, such as over 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week, and it provides reports selected by employee and/or department. In fact, one of the many reports available is an 'Employees Approaching Overtime Report,' which shows the cumulative hours worked during the pay period at any point in time. This helps you determine which employees to schedule; saving you money in overtime costs. In addition, if needed, Enterprise eTIME can re-distribute overtime worked. If an employee stays late on Monday to do extra work in department 100 on Monday causing overtime hours, the system can bet setup to ensure these overtime hours will redistribute and be applied to Department 100.

What happens if one of our employees forgets to swipe in on any given day?
The Enterprise eTIME system has a schedule feature that enables you to define the working hours for each of your staff. If any of your staff members forget to swipe in or out on a given day, this omission will show up as an exception on our 'Exception Report,' enabling you to identify and correct these missed punches quickly and easily.

My company runs multiple shifts. Can Enterprise eTIME accommodate this?
Yes. Enterprise eTIME can be set up to track multiple shifts per schedule or per employee each work day. That will provide you with a record of hours worked in each shift for each employee.

Can Enterprise eTIME track different classes of employees, for example full-time, part-time, or even temporary employees?
Yes. You can set up a different pay rule for each group and apply your company policies to each. For instance, you can set up a 45 minute paid lunch time for full-time wage earners, a 30 minute paid lunch time for part-time employees and a 30 minute unpaid lunch for temporary employees. The system is flexible and can be configured to accommodate your needs.

How can I prevent unauthorized entry into the Enterprise eTIME system?
Enterprise eTIME can be set up to allow different security levels of access to the data stored in the program. This enables you to select which function or information each user (i.e., employee, manager, system administrator, etc.) will have access to in Enterprise eTIME (i.e., wage information, punch information, editing capability, pay codes, labor entries, etc.)
