New Features! Sunny California and double time laws
https://goo.gl/fLHDp0
#newfeatures #OnTimeWeb
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has no requirement for double time pay, but the California Department of Industrial Relations does, and the state laws trump the Federal laws when it comes to additional protections for workers. Other than California, some companies may have their own double time pay rules. Easily create custom rules and set them company wide or to specific employees.

Upgrade Your Timesheets To The Cloud
Why tether yourself to a specific computer for managing employee timesheets? Why purchase software for every single computer or user that needs to access the timesheets? What if there was a cost effective solution that didn’t require software or the hassle of making certain you always have the latest version? That is exactly what our On-Time Web cloud based software does.
What Does Cloud Actually Mean
You’ve probably heard quite a bit about the cloud or cloud services, but you may not think these are the right solutions for you. The main myth surround cloud software or Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions are you have to give up control and security just to save money. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
A respectable provider gives you control to customize software and settings just like you would any other software application. The only difference is the software is stored on the provider’s server instead of your own. As far as security goes, every provider has their own security solutions which are often more secure than your own in house security.
Using SaaS cloud solutions means the service provider, in this case On-Time Web, hosts the software. You then have access from any computer via a web portal. You never have to worry about a computer crashing or data being lost again. Since we back up our secure servers daily, your data is always safe even if all your computers crash or are infected with viruses.
Benefits of Upgrading
Upgrading to cloud based web timesheets and web time clocks reduces the cost of software and hardware. We handle all software upgrades and backups. We take care of server and other hardware upgrades. Implementation is as easy as customizing the web portal to your business and learning how to use the software. All you pay is a low monthly fee.
Cloud based timesheets and time clocks are accessible from more than just computers. Use mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, as well. This means you have access to the system even when you’re out of the office.
The scalable solutions are able to grow with you. Anytime you need to upgrade due to growth, contact us and we handle everything. No waiting, no buying new software, no hassle. It’s simple. Upgrading means you save money, time and stress. Why make managing payroll difficult when web based timesheets are so much simpler?

New Features – Employee Leave Accruals
We have just released several new enhancements to On-Time Web. Our biggest new feature is the integrated employee leave accruals. Contact us for more information or current customers can read the help manual.
Employee Leave Accruals
Create accrual rules for hourly, monthly or annual company policies. You can create unlimited custom accrual rules that contain as many levels of years of service as you need . Those rules can then be applied to different employees’ leave codes for each employee. Choose to calculate monthly or annual accruals automatically based on the rules or to manually run them with a click of a button. Hourly rules are automatically applied when employee time is approved. If the time is unapproved that accrued time is removed from the employee’s balance.

2) Auto-In & Auto-Out Time Completion Options
There are two new options on the Punch Settings tab in Settings & Defaults that enable/disable assistance with employee punches. Previously, On-Time Web would always attempt to assist with employees’ “bad” punches. For example, If an employee was punched IN and they tried to punch in again the system would make anauto-out punch for that first record in order to complete it, and then make the new IN punch. On the other side of that if an employee was not punched IN at all and punched OUT the system would do an auto-in to make a complete record. This sometimes caused more confusion than offered help with employee time. We now have options to enable or disable that assist functionality.
3) Personnel Reports
There are 3 new employee personnel reports. The Contact List shows address and contact information for the selected employees. The Employee Anniversary Report shows the selected employees’ anniversary date and total years of service based on the hire date. The last report is the Important Dates Report which shows all important dates relevant to each employee such as hire date, termination date, last login date, and last time transaction date.
4) In/Out Board Pop-Out Window – Desktop Notifications
If using the In/Out Board in the Pop-Out Window there is an ability to view new notifications from employee status changes. The first time you must allow on-time web to access certain resources. The popup window will ask you if you want to allow notifications. Once you have said yes evertime an employee’s status changes you will get the notification directly on your desktop no matter what windows you may have open. This option is available for Google Chrome, Safari on Macs, FireFox, Edge and Opera (Not supported in IE).
5) New Employee Status Option
There is a new option on how long to keep employee status messages on the In/Out Board. if the option is set to 0 days then the status is automatically cleared after a new punch has been made. Otherwise it is kept for the set amount of days and then deleted.
6) New Login Screen with Login Message
The login screen has been redesigned to look friendlier when it comes to background images and company logos. There is also a new option to set a short login screen message. that shows right below the company name on the login screen. You can change the default login screen message under Themes.
7) Other Miscellaneous
– Menu Changes: Settings main menu name has now changed to Company Setup
– Reallocate Time: This screen can now do bulk edits for multiple employee records that meet the criteria instead of just splitting time.
