Sometimes, a user needs his superior to make changes to his attendance, due to missed clocking or incorrect work code input. We’ve got that covered with the Change Request function, where user can send their request to their superior, but we won't stop at that.
We will enhance this feature by adding the approval engine in the Attendance module where user will be allowed to edit their own attendance and submit to their superior for approval. The workflow will be as below:

1. Admin set the approval rules for the attendance; set the criteria to initiate the approval process, set approvers and it's validity.
2. User edits his attendance and submits for approval.
3. Admin received request and make approval.

User can view the status of his request and add comment if necessary. This approval engine will be added in other module as well, to promote better interactions between superior and employees.

We are constantly updating our design to provide the best UX to our users. Thus our designer came up with a new design for the User Profile. Currently the User Profile is using tab design, so we will change the arrangement and make the design look more clean and crisp. Check out the pictures attached. Yay or nay?

We will add one more report under Attendance Analysis Report, which is Daily Gross Wages Report. In the current system, we have the Gross Wages Report, which generates the total gross wages report for each employee.

It takes time to get familiar with a new system. We get that! To ensure our customers get to try TimeTec TA without having to do a lot of setting up, we will create a schedule automatically for them once they sign up.

All reports available in TimeTec TA will be changed to a new, cleaner style - soon. We will first start with the Electronic Time Card report. Check out the sample report.

NFC is one of the clocking methods that will be included in TimeTec Mobile. With this option, user will only need to tap their NFC enabled smartphones to the NFC tag in the office to report their attendance. Once the user has tapped at the NFC tag, TimeTec Mobile will send the clocking details straight into TimeTec TA for processing.

Setting up a schedule can be tedious. Sometimes, the schedules differ on working times only. To ease the schedule creation, we will add “Copy from” option to allow Admin to copy the information of existing schedule to a new one. With this, Admin can edit the necessary contents such as the working time and submit without having to make a lot of changes.

The Export Attendance to Payroll option will show the payroll options available according to your country. For Malaysia, the current payroll software that has been included in this option are WinComm Pay 7 and SQL Payroll. In our plan, we will include Sage UBS payroll in this option for our Malaysia customer.

Changes are inevitable when it comes to schedules/shift/attendance. Therefore to improve the communication between manager and employee, we will add a notification module to notify employee on any amendments made to his/her schedule/shift/attendance.

1. System will send notification automatically when admin:
   - Amend on user’s attendance data
   - Assign new roster to user
   - Amend on user’s roster
2. These notifications will be categorized under Attendance in Notification section.
3. User will not receive any notification if this module is disabled. Notification > Attendance

For flexi schedule, Admin has the option to enable the work code for job costing. If this option is enabled, users assigned to this schedule will have to insert the work code every time they perform clocking.
