Pending pay and retroactive pay are the most valuable features. When you use all fields, they should appear on one page.

What is most valuable?

Pending pay and retroactive pay are the most valuable features.

How has it helped my organization?

  • Less manual entry

What needs improvement?

Time management and the screen showing punches

Not showing on the same page when you use all fields, even when you down size your screen

The only way to see all the fields is by making the screen smaller and it is not readable. We change depts., jobs, projects , HR depts. and Activity.

It can be difficult for the managers and I when we try to correct or just check time. There are frequent errors due to this issue.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it since November 2016.

Keep improving. The changes coming in 2017 are a good start. Make your companies able to access more aspects of the system instead of contacting Customer Service
