![]() So this may be something you already have. As electronic payroll for businesses proliferates, even for small shops, online time clocks are often the standard as a part of your payroll package. ![]() So, the real challenge in determining whether or not Virtual TimeClock is a good fit for you is understanding what your needs are. Once approved, you can create a payroll report and export payroll data for import into formats importable by several payroll services, including: Acclivity AccountEdge, ADP Pay eXpert, ADP Workforce Now®2, CheckMark Payroll, Paychex Preview®4, Paychex Flex, Pa圜hoice Payroll, QuickBooks, and SurePayroll. You can create reports by individual and department, view a summary of all timecards, and break reports down by shift.Īt the end of each pay period, the payroll manager uses the Timecard Review & Payroll Approval tool to review each employee's timecard, verify that the hours work are correct, and approve each employee's hours. If you're working in the payroll office, you can create reports both for archival use and, if you want, to include with a check when you pay your employees. You can also give supervisors the ability to approve sick, vacation, and personal leave, so that management isn't relegated to the back office. You can also organize employees into management groups, so supervisors can review and approve timecards for the individuals they're responsible for. The program's configuration panel lets you create employees, organize them by department, create overtime rules, shifts and schedules. Virtual TimeClock offers a number of admin features allowing you to customize your employee's experience and get the reports you need to run your payroll properly. Virtual TimeClock allows for a few levels of security, including who has access to reporting and administrative features, you can choose passwords or PINs for your employees to use to login or a combination of PIN+barcode to guarantee that one employee isn't signing in for another. Please try another," which, if you're not entirely clueless, clues you in to the fact that someone else has the same password that you've just entered. While seemingly more secure, there's a downside to this rule, as, if your password happens to match another employee's, you'll receive an error message stating, "You cannot use common or recently used passwords. And it's important to note that no two employees can have the same password. ![]() You can require employees to enter a password to clock in or out. To log in, employees click on their name in the list of employees and choose "Start" to begin their work day. I found no way to search the list, so you may want to use the app's Groups feature to organize your employees in a way that makes each list a little shorter. The app lists all your employees in alphabetical order and would benefit from a Spotlight-like search feature for finding employees. ![]() Once you've created employees they access your time clock using the Virtual TimeClock client application, which is available for Mac or PC. Simple enough if you have a few employees and you're entering a limited amount of information, but you'll want to import your initial list of employees if you have more than a few. I went the manual route, adding individual employees one by one. To ease employee creation you can import data from a properly formatted CSV file (12 commas, separating 13 fields) or QuickBooks IIF files, which you create and export directly from QuickBooks. Once you've downloaded and installed your version of Virtual TimeClock you need to do some setup, which includes creating a database and then adding employees and security to that database.
