TimeTec HR New Features
 
Unveiling Exciting New Features
November 2024
1. Leave Compliance Monitoring in TimeTec HR
TimeTec HR introduces a new feature to enhance leave compliance. This feature automatically detects employees who report to work despite their approved leave. By monitoring daily attendance records, the system can identify potential violations and alert designated administrators. This proactive approach helps maintain accurate leave records and ensures adherence to company policies.

You can configure this in the TimeTec Attendance module.
TimeTec HR will check yesterday’s attendance data to identify any employee who reported to work, even if they had approved leave on that same day.
System administrators can choose to send alerts to secondary administrators or directly to the employees. See the sample notification sent to the employee and admin below.
 
If you do not want the system to monitor for this type of violation, you can disable these notifications in the system settings.

Additionally, you can configure the rules in the TimeTec HR app under Monitoring.
Admins and employees receive the app notifications as well.
2. Enhanced Data Export Capabilities in TimeTec HR
TimeTec HR has expanded its data export functionality to include the "Payroll Account" field in the detail schema. This new field allows you to export the name of the company responsible for payroll processing for each employee. This feature is particularly useful for organizations with multiple subsidiaries, enabling seamless integration with third-party systems and streamlined payroll management. This new data field will be included when you set up the scheduler to export attendance.

You can adjust the length of the Payroll Account data field.

3. Enhanced Data Export for Improved Payroll Integration
TimeTec HR now offers the ability to include Schedule Description in attendance data exports. This valuable addition allows you to export the specific schedule name assigned to each employee. This new data field will be available when you set up the scheduler to export attendance.
By incorporating schedule descriptions into your exported data, you can seamlessly integrate with third-party payroll systems. These systems can then utilize the schedule information to accurately calculate allowances, benefits, and other payroll-related entitlements based on specific work schedules.
4. Streamlining Leave Approvals with TimeTec HR app
TimeTec HR has introduced a new feature to simplify the leave approval process. The Request Approval button, conveniently located on the Leave page, provides a quick overview of all pending leave applications requiring your attention. This feature is particularly useful during peak holiday seasons when a surge of leave requests can overwhelm managers and HR personnel.
By centralizing pending approvals, TimeTec HR helps you quickly identify and prioritize urgent leave requests, avoiding delays in the approval process and make prompt, informed decisions on leave requests.

With this new feature, you can streamline your leave management process and ensure a smoother workflow for both employees and approvers.
5. Enhanced Visibility for Pending Leave Requests in the TimeTec HR App
TimeTec HR now offers a dedicated Pending Approval section to display all leave applications that are currently awaiting approval. This feature provides HR and managers with a clear overview of pending leave requests, allowing them to:

Monitor Leave Status: Keep track of employees who are currently on leave or are scheduled to be absent.
Prioritize Approvals: Efficiently review and approve or reject leave requests.
Identify Potential Overlap: Detect potential scheduling conflicts or overlapping leave periods.
By providing a centralized view of pending leave applications, TimeTec HR empowers organizations to optimize workforce planning and maintain operational efficiency.
6. Streamlined Notification Management in TimeTec HR
TimeTec HR has introduced a new notification system to enhance efficiency and reduce clutter. By consolidating notifications into two primary categories - Unread and Pending - you can now easily prioritize and manage your approval workflow.

Unread Notifications:
• View all new notifications related to attendance, leave, and claim requests.
• Stay up to date on the latest requests requiring your attention.

Pending Notifications:
• Focus on notifications for requests that are still in the approval process.
• Prioritize urgent approvals and avoid delays.
With this streamlined approach, you can effectively manage your workload and ensure timely decision-making, ultimately improving overall efficiency and productivity.
7. Enhanced Leave Approval Visibility in TimeTec Leave Web
TimeTec Leave Web now offers a convenient way to view pending leave approvals directly from the Leave Web module. By enabling the "Show all leaves pending for approval" option, administrators can easily identify employees who have submitted leave requests requiring their attention.
With this enhanced feature, administrators can streamline their leave approval process and ensure a smooth workflow for both employees and the organization.
8. Enhanced Leave Approval Page in TimeTec HR
TimeTec HR has introduced new features to provide administrators with more comprehensive information on the Leave Approval page. Administrators can now choose to display Employee ID instead of User ID across the Leave Web. This option can be configured in the System Settings. This enhancement improves clarity and facilitates easier identification of employees, especially in organizations with complex hierarchies or multiple locations.

The Organization Structure column provides a clear overview of an employee's position within the organizational hierarchy, aiding in accurate decision-making. The Last Update Date column displays the timestamp of the latest modification to the leave application, helping administrators track changes and identify urgent requests.

With these enhancements, TimeTec HR empowers administrators to make informed decisions and streamline the leave approval process.
9. Enhanced Leave Analysis in TimeTec Leave Web
TimeTec HR has introduced a significant improvement to the Leave Analysis feature, providing administrators with greater flexibility and insights. Administrators can now analyze the ‘15 Employees with Most Leaves’ based on specific date ranges and leave types.

This feature allows you to focus on specific time periods or leave categories to identify trends and patterns. Click on individual employee names to access detailed information about their leave history, including leave types, durations, and approval statuses. Utilize these insights to optimize workforce planning, identify potential issues, and make informed decisions.
With this enhanced Leave Analysis feature, TimeTec HR empowers organizations to proactively manage leave usage, improve operational efficiency, and enhance employee well-being.
10. New Filter in Attendance Upload Module
To streamline the attendance upload process, a new filter has been added to the Attendance Upload module. Admins can now efficiently search for specific employees using the following criteria:
  • Name
  • Branch
  • Position
  • Department
This enhanced filtering capability enables more targeted and efficient uploads of attendance data.
11. Enhanced Payslip Functionality
To improve transparency, employees can now view their latest leave balances directly on their payslips. This new feature ensures employees have better visibility of their leave entitlements alongside salary details.

To enable this feature:
  1. Navigate to Settings > Report Settings.
  2. Set the "Latest Leave Balance Display" option to Yes.
Once enabled, employees can view their remaining leave balances alongside salary and deduction information on their payslips.
12. New Payment Channel: Merchantrade
To offer greater flexibility in salary disbursement, a new payment channel, Merchantrade, has been integrated into the system.

To enable Merchantrade payments:
  1. Navigate to Settings > Other Settings > Company.
  2. Select Merchantrade as the preferred payment channel.
  3. Enter your company’s Merchantrade account number.
  4. Set the “In Use” option to Yes.
Once configured, employees can receive salary payments via Merchantrade, ensuring convenience and flexibility.
13. Enhanced Item Management
To simplify payroll management, we’ve introduced a new delete action for the following item types:
  • Salary Addition Item
  • Salary Deduction Item
  • Periodic Deduction Item
Admins can now easily remove items that are no longer required, streamlining payroll processes and ensuring accuracy.
14. New Reset Functionality for Payroll
To provide additional flexibility and error correction capabilities, we've added a new Reset button to the dashboard. This allows admins to reset the payroll process for the current month in case of mistakes or errors.

Please note: This feature is particularly useful for new account users as it provides a safety net for potential misconfigurations.
15. Enhanced Salary Item Calculation
We've expanded the flexibility of salary item calculations based on attendance or day-of-the-month rates. New day options have been added, allowing for more precise and customized calculations.

This enhancement provides greater control over salary item calculations and ensures accurate payroll processing.
