CLEAR-TIME : TIME+

Time & Attendance Management System TIME+ is a fully featured and highly flexible computerised system for the collection, processing and management of data relating to employee attendance at the place of work. It uses intelligent Time Clock Terminals to collect and validate clockings, give messages and present optional reports to employees. Applications covered include: Time & Attendance Recording Flexitime Manning Schedules & Rostering Access Control Shop Floor Data Collection NB – TIME+ ALSO MEETS EC WORKING TIME DIRECTIVE REQUIREMENTS

Time Clock Terminals have been developed by Clear Systems in parallel with the TIME+ software to ensure close integration between the collection of clocking data at the Time Clock and the TIME+ Server. The Time Clocks recognise employee clockings by reading magnetic stripe clocking cards. These transactions are communicated directly to the TIME+ Server, but also retained within the Time Clock for a period to provide back-up to the central system. The number of Time Clocks which can be connected to a system is primarily limited only by the size and power of the TIME+ Server selected and can be linked by direct serial connection, network connection or via modem from remote locations. The Time Clock can also provide Access Control facilities by operating suitable door locks via a remote weatherproof card reader. For full detail please request our Time Clock Terminal data sheet.

TIME+ Server

The TIME+ Server can be any UNIX, linux or Windows 2000/2003 system equipped with any of a wide range of Post-Relational Database Management Systems, including uniVerse, UniData, D3, jBase and Reality. The TIME+ Server can therefore be anything from a simple PC to a large multi-processor department or enterprise server enabling TIME+ to meet the needs of small, medium and very large organisations.
TIME+ and its database can be installed on an existing server which is particularly beneficial where integration with Payroll and Personnel Systems is required. The choice of UNIX, linux or Windows 2000/2003 provides for full integration with other applications and systems in an open manner. Using a Post-Relational Database Management System provides powerful reporting and data handling tools in a multi-user environment, even on inexpensive PC's or work-stations.

TIME+ Software

The TIME+ Software provides extensive facilities to allow definition in advance of employee working patterns and associated pay rates. Exceptions in an employee's expected working hours are highlighted, including lateness, early leaving, unapproved overtime and absence. Payable hours are calculated and analysed at various pay rates ready for approval and transfer to Payroll. Extensive reporting is provided based on TIME+ standard reports augmented by a powerful enquiry language, with SQL and ODBC compatibility, for the production of "ad hoc" user reports. A comprehensive password system is included to protect sensitive information and all exceptions. Importantly comprehensive facilities are included to manage and monitor compliance with the EC Working Time Directive.
