EPAY Systems Mobile Punch Application is a tool designed for Blueforce™ Customers, facilitating the collection of Time and Attendance using Android devices. This application provides a range of features tailored to streamline employee management and enhance operational efficiency.
Employees can easily clock in and out, as well as start and end meal breaks directly from their Android phones. Supervisors have the capability to manage employee groups, allowing them to clock in or out multiple employees simultaneously. This feature simplifies the timekeeping process, especially for larger teams.
A standout aspect of the app is its GPS capabilities. When employees clock in or out, the application captures GPS coordinates to verify their location, ensuring that the recorded times are accurate and legitimate. The GPS functionality is optimized for accuracy within 10 meters. If an employee’s GPS location falls outside of a configurable distance from the designated work site, their punches will be marked as "Un-Authorized." This feature adds an additional layer of accountability to timekeeping practices.
Integration with the Blueforce™ TLM System is another significant feature, allowing employee punches to be directly recorded within the time card and timesheet module. This streamlined integration enhances accuracy and reduces the potential for errors in payroll and attendance tracking.
The app also offers location-based dropdown selections for work groups, tasks, and work tickets. These selections are filtered based on the current GPS location of the employee, ensuring that the information recorded is relevant and precise. This feature is beneficial for companies with multiple work sites or tasks.
For situations where GPS and cellular services may not be available, the app is designed to function in offline mode. This ensures that employees can still record their time and attendance without interruption, even in areas with limited connectivity. Once the device is back online, the data will sync automatically.
Employees can enter free-form comments along with their punches, providing additional context or notes regarding their work hours. This feature is particularly useful for capturing specific details that may not be reflected in standard timekeeping entries. In addition, the app incorporates a search feature that allows users to easily find work groups, tasks, employees, or work tickets by entering relevant keywords.
Supervisors benefit from additional functionalities, such as the ability to collect extra punch details at clock-out. The questions asked during this process can be configured according to client preferences, allowing for a tailored experience that meets the specific needs of the organization.
Bar and QR code scanning capabilities enable supervisors to clock in or out employees efficiently. This feature streamlines the process by allowing supervisors to quickly validate work groups, tasks, employees, and work tickets through scanning, which can save time and reduce administrative burdens.
Employees can also manage their Paid Time Off (PTO) requests through the app. They are able to view pending request statuses and check their PTO balances, allowing for better planning and management of time off. This transparency contributes to improved communication between employees and supervisors regarding leave management.
The application supports allocating hours worked to different tasks or work tickets, giving both supervisors and employees the ability to track how time is spent on various projects. This feature is crucial for organizations that need to monitor productivity and ensure resources are effectively utilized across different tasks.
Designed with a consistent look and ease of use similar to EPAY Systems Walter Time clocks, the Mobile Punch Application offers a user-friendly experience. This familiarity aids in the adoption of the app by employees and supervisors alike, reducing the learning curve typically associated with new technology.
Support options are readily accessible within the app, providing users with a one-click feature to contact the EPAY Systems Support Team for assistance. This ensures that any issues or questions can be addressed promptly, enhancing user satisfaction and operational efficiency.
