A hardware punch/swipe unit compliments the in/out module by providing a remote, computer-less way of tracking time and attendance.  This allows for more accurate time keeping and makes it possible for non office based staff to punch in and out effortlessly.  The new wireless hardware can use a number of registration methods such as swipe cards, RFID Tags and biometric scanners.

A series of reports make use of the punch data to highlight lateness, standard hours worked, overtime and flexitime.

Future planned software upgrades for this hardware will allow other tasks to be completed on the touch screen such as booking leave etc.

Following on from our clients feedback we have simplified the management process of recording sickness.  Now the status of the sickness follows the next step in the process (depending on your compamys settings) and will direct you to that stage when the link on the Absence Ref is clicked.  No more need to remember the ref number and go first to Actions > Sickness (although you can if you wish).

Capture your staffs salary review with report to follow set dates.

We are very sorry about the downtime you experienced yesterday.  We host our servers at CWCS datacenters and they had a significant network issue around midday that caused the problems we experienced.  None of our servers had problems other than they could not reach the internet.

Please accept my apologies but these things do happen from time to time and are difficult to predict.  It is important to note that we have had 4 years of uninterrupted up time before yesterdays issues which is impressive and largely thanks to CWCS and their consummate engineers.

I have included a Root Cause Analysis report from CWCS for your information.
