The Enterprise Time Clock Application (TCA) is one of the most revolutionary items in Labor Management. The Enterprise Time Clock communicates directly to the online Labor Management application. When the employee clocks in at the POS, the information is immediately uploaded to the web services application. Payroll and time keeping is quickly and efficiently handled with data transfers.
An organization also has the option of using an in-store cache. This allows clock-in and clock-out information to be stored, and inevitably be uploaded to Labor Management.
In the event of clock-in and clock-out information not reaching the cache, the system opens an Internet connection and transfers the information directly. The information stored in the cache consists of typical time clock transactional data such as employee name and number, job codes, schedules, day punches, clock-in and clock-out times, tips, sales, and so on. This data is uploaded to the web services when the Internet connection is restored.
The Employee Clock retains the similar look and feel that current POS users are already familiar with; it is its behind the scenes functionality that has been altered.
