ATS TimeWork OnDemand Is Designed To Handle Daylight Savings Time

November 6th, 2017 | Posted by ATS in ATS TimeWork OnDemand | Benefit Accruals | ERP | Fingerprint Time And Attendance Canada | Fingerprint Time And Attendance Toronto | HR | Overtime | Payroll | Time and Attendance Blog, Workforce Management Software | Time and Attendance Canada | Time and Attendance Toronto - (Comments Off on ATS TimeWork OnDemand Is Designed To Handle Daylight Savings Time)

Here is the drill: Daylight saving time (DST) ended on Sunday, Nov. 5, 2017 at 2 a.m. ET. Most north Americans would have set their clocks back an hour. This makes for darker days, and for some people, it will take a few days to get used to, while for some others, it might take them a week or two to adjust to the time change.

The spring brings the arrival of daylight saving time in March 2018 and requires clocks to be moved forward one hour at 2 a.m. Employees who are shift workers and who are on duty at that time and who normally work an eight-hour shift will actually work only seven hours, unless of course, your company is using an automated time and attendance system that automatically adjusts with daylights savings time.

ATS TimeWork OnDemand Is Designed To Handle Daylight Savings Time

A blog titled As the clocks turn back this weekend, don’t forget FLSA rules authored by Pamela Deloacth for HRDive offers the following advice for companies:

“That extra hour of work can present several unanticipated challenges, in addition to an unpaid hour:

Overtime: If that additional hour puts an employee at more than 40 hours during that workweek, the Fair Labor Standards Act requires the employee be paid overtime. Employees who fall under the “8 and 80” system — or in states that require daily overtime — may be eligible for overtime for that day.

Collective Bargaining Agreements: Employers should ensure that they are following any provisions in a collective bargaining agreement that addresses wage and hour provisions for time change”.

If your company has in excess of 30 employees handling daylight savings time (DST) manually can be a challenge. Automating your time tracking system, instead of doing it manually, will make your payroll and HR managers happy and more productive, especially if they have to deal with sleep deprived employees, still adjusting to the daylight savings time.  ATS TimeWork OnDemand is a cloud-based time and attendance designed for; Payroll, Accrual Benefits, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Talent Management, and Analytics integration. ATS TimeWork OnDemand provides organizations with access to real-time data of Workforce Management (WFM) capabilities, across all domains.

November 14th, 2016 | Posted by Apex Time Solutions in Benefit Accruals | Cloud Time and Attendance | Time and Attendance Blog, Workforce Management Software | Workforce Analytics | Workforce Management Software | Workforce Management Solutions - (Comments Off on Is There A Silver Bullet To Workforce Management Software Deployment?)

The correct answer to a question of this nature is a whopping no! Claims of seamless deployment are just that, “claims”. Now with that being said, when an implementation is being planned out and both vendor and customer should take into account that there are going to be deployment gaps along the way. Without a doubt, every deployment will incur a small gap or two regardless of size or scope, however, when stakeholders and its partners, build contingency plans to mitigate the unforeseen, that’s when you the closest thing to a seamless deployment.

ATS Workforce Management Solutions has built-in accelerators designed to help companies implement more quickly and cost effectively. ATS deployment accelerators are pre-configured versions of our workforce management software, based on deep expertise and are industry specific.

Here are three benefits to ATS Workforce Management Solution Deployment Accelerator:

ATS Workforce Management Software Accelerator helps organizations close the cloud and data migration gap with a solution that was built to work with today’s applications in an era of cloud computing and, at the same time, effectively addressing the key areas that extend the software implementation process.

Cloud-Based Solutions Is Changing The Business Landscape

January 21st, 2014 | Posted by Apex Time Solutions in Absence Management | Benefit Accruals | Business Intelligence | Cloud Time and Attendance | Hosted Time and Attendance Solution | Overtime - (Comments Off on Cloud-Based Solutions Is Changing The Business Landscape)

Today’s workforce is rapidly changing with the advent of web-based technologies. Employees are no longer interested in being tethered to a desk when most of the work can be done with tablets or smart phones. At the same time, companies want workers to be informed and remained connected.  Deploying ATS cloud-based workforce management solution makes it that much easier.

 Cloud-Based Solutions Are Changing The Business Landscape

The 1990’s and early 2000s approach to time and attendance, in large part, meant installing software on a company’s server and other workstations. These workers would then be tied to their desk to access the data and print reports. Now managers and employees alike want instant access to their related information via any workstation or mobile device with access to their Internet.

ATS approach to 21 century time and attendance means:

  • Employees can review their schedules, overtime, accrual benefits and request time off through a mobile device
  • Managers can get instant alerts to their e-mails when an employee request time-off
  • Companies can stay informed with up-to-the minute workforce analytics
  • Payroll and HR managers can navigate payroll and other HR related reports to understand attendance trends
  • Senior executives can access real-time business intelligence on-the-fly

ATS transforms the way you access your cloud-based time and attendance. The solution allows you to implement your business goals faster, increases user adoption and provides a rapid return on your investment.
